Freelance Home Writers
Freelancehomewriters.com Initial $2.95 trial - no mention of a $49.95 membership fee deducted from your credit card 7 days later and no way of contacting the company to get your "100% money back" guarantee. Not happy to be ripped off! Miami, Florida

I'm a 23 year old mother of two trying to earn some extra cash and looked up freelance writing from home as an option. I jumped onto the www.freelancehomewriters.com website hoping that this could help me out. I read through what they were offering and thought it sounded great - especially considering my circumstances.

It asked for an initial $2.95USD to get started so they could set me up with some freelance writing work. I thought "what the hell" it's only $2.95 and if it could help me earn some extra cash, then it was well worth it. After signing up and authorising the debit of the $2.95 - I then read on through tonns and tonns of information and decided that this was definitely NOT for me. I was a bit annoyed at having been ripped off for just the $2.95 but shrugged it off as a stupid idea. I tried to contact the company through their 'contacts' section on their website immediatley to cancel my registration. I got absolutely no reply. Then I saw a couple of days down the track that my credit card had been debited a further $49.95! Where the hell did that come from??? There was ABSOLUTELY NO MENTION of a $49.95 membership fee anywhere and I most certainly did not authorise such a debit. I tried contacting them over and over and never got a response.

As a result of this I have had to cancel my credit card and am now in the process of disputing the transaction through my financial institution. It's really sad that I had gone into this hoping that I could help the household out a little by earning some extra money and what ended up happening - we were out of pocket, so much that my credit card went into negative which in turn, attracted an overlimit fee of a further $35!!! It just gets worse and worse...

All I can say to those of you out there is, don't go out there and make a mistake like this. A company asking you to PAY THEM to HELP YOU earn cash is COMPLETE RUBBISH. I'm truly sorry I didn't realise this sooner. I think it's ridiculous that this company gets away with it.

Very annoyed
