So a few weeks ago I came across a low-cost join newtwork of sites of $x.xx per month. The site had no increased rebill price, it was just $x.xx per month flat and I was curious so I joined to see if it was a dvd site, all feeds, etc. I knew the join would be full of semi-hidden cross-sales so I was careful to uncheck everything and make sure there were no automatic cross-sales which there weren't.

I cancelled a few days later to make sure and yes there were pre-checked joins on the cancel page, but after checking my account about 2 weeks later I'm fucking floored to say the least.

I have now had 3 additional $1.00 charges for memberships and 2 $39.97 memberships charged for a grand total of 5 other sites. The $39.97 memberships were charged the same day as the $1.00 so they weren't even rebills, but separate sites. 2 of the $1.00 and 1 of the $39.97 were a week or so after the join which pissed me off, but I dealt with it. Now almost a full week or so later I get another $1.00 and $39.97 charge and the entire boat is now becoming a charge back. For a small $x.xx join I've spent over $80 on sites I didn't want.

This is fucking ridiculous. If being in the business I can't even get a clean join, I can only imagine how surfers are getting fucked.

And, one, no I won't name the program/site as this is something we all know is happening and isn't meant to be a public flogging. And, two, yes maybe I'm an idiot and I just missed a cross-sale on the join or cancel page somehow, but that still proves the point that this is wrong.

This is sad, really fucking sad that this is how people build their business. Enough said...
