Trial subscription credit card ripoff

Be aware that some adult web sites may offer you an "introductory" rate and then charge you the full monthly rate once they get your credit card on file.
Here's what happened to me at Barbie the Blonde Flashers site. She is also affiliated with a variety of other sites so exercise CAUTION on them too.
1) I registered for the $3.79 three day trial, on Monday.
2) I emailed to cancel it on Tue, but Barbie asked me to re-consider, so I did.
3) I emailed to cancel it on Wed, but received no reply until Friday (when the 3 day subscription expired).
4) The reply which came from IBill, simply said that my subscription was cancelled, it didn't say WHICH subscription.
5) My credit card statement had TWO charges, the $3.79 plus the $14.95 monthly.
6) After writing over 14 emails back and forth to Barbie trying
to get her to reverse the charge I gave up and called IBill.
7) IBill corrected the problem, once I provided the backup information for them.
8) Barbie, finally agreed to reverse the charges (after I had IBill involved)
8) Today, Barbie writes me this "wonderful" letter:
Its such a pitty that some sites have to act this way.
Buyer Beware, Rob
You are such a loser.
I told you I would give you your money back, but that wasn't enough for you... I'm listing you on the webgirls BlackList of jerks that steal from the webgirls and waste all their time jerking them around and causing them problems. You will remain their for 5 years and other webgirls can post info about you too.
