In order to get a wider presence for my website I signed up for multiple online directories for my company, Citygrid being one of them. When you set up an account they require a credit card number even if you do not plan on starting a pay per click campaign or similar. I should have never gone farther than that, because it has been nothing but a nightmare since then. I was "auto-enrolled" in a campaign that had a minim monthly budget of 400.00. I had not even completed a company profile or spent any time with the site.
About one month later I see a charge for almost $450.00 on my credit card statement. I immediately called their customer service to fix the situation and was met with a scripted response intended to put the blame on me and allow them to rip me off. They told me I had to pay and there was nothing they could do. I had them cancel my account and listing.
