I'm as smart of a surfer as I am a webmaster, I'm not prone to making many mistakes. I never make *ANY* mistakes when it comes to cancelling. Admittedly, though, my business statements are so long that I rarely look at them every month as I save that for my accountants.
I sat today to audit the general ledger that I got back from my accountants and discovered some funny charges.
Ibill for $39.99/mo for the last 4+ months
PayCom for $39.97/mo for the last 4+ months
Vivid Tours for $39.99/mo for the last 4+ months
Each one of these was originally a $2-$3 trial that I cancelled immediately online. Fuck them all. I'll call and give them the opportunity to refund me and if they don't then I'll charge them back.
If I thought there was any possibility that I didn't do the right thing to cancel them immediately, I'd just make sure that they were cancelled now to avoid further charges. Certainly, from now on, I'll read through each one of my statements.
This is one serious case of fuck the surfer by three different companies.

I did that last fall. Joined a bunch of sites just like a surfer to go through the join process and see what was on the inside of the sites and stuff.
I almost ended up having to chargeback a couple of things.
Load of shit. Ever since then I wasn't suprised at the crackdown by Visa/MC.
