Recently I noticed a charge on my bank statement from "WPI*Ifreinds VIP". I didn't have any recollection of using my debit card on the specified date. As it turns out, I had apparently applied for an account on the website www.ifriendsv2.net 10 months back. I recall registering an account at this website, but never agreeing to pay any amount. I am generally quite careful about these things when registering at a new website. Ifriends.net had been billing me ever since the date I had registered. They usually charge either 6.95 or 9.95, an amount that is easily overlooked when viewing bank statements. They do not send any kind of e-mail notification or
otherwise when or before charging you. I called the customer support line and was told that my account would be cancelled and
refunded charges up to a certain date. It appears as though this is a legal con of sorts. After a certain date, it seems as though a refund through your bank is unattainable. Ifriends.net thrives off of these overlooked charges, and when confronted, if ever, have legality to fall back on for their fraudulent behavior.
