I saw the new AdultPlayersClub program splashed all over GFY..so, as I always do, I rushed on over to see if this just might be the "honest" program I am looking for. And don't get me wrong, I'm sure it is an "honest" program for webmasters...but if you are a consumer...watch out.

The same old tricks are all there.
A consumer signs up for 3 day trial membership. What could be better...3 days to try out the program, with no risk, right? Wrong! If you click on the Terms and Conditions link, go down 569 words (and we all know that IF the consumer even clicks on the T & C's, he's not going to read the first 569 words..he'll get bored, thinking it's the standard "you must be 18", images copyrighted ramble). Here's where you find the clause that the Trial Membership must be cancelled ONE DAY before end of trial to avoid rebill. Yep, the 3 day trial has magically changed to a 2 day trial.

Now, to make matters worse...a regular monthly membership is $29 a month..a rebilling membership is $39 a month.

But wait, there's more...

Look what we have here...the prechecked cross-sell. A free one day trial is listed. But, now I direct you back to the T & C's. No where does it tell you how to cancel this one day trial. Hopefully not one day before end of trial, or the consumer is really hooped.

And is one day 24 hours, or is it until end of day? Your guess is as good as mine..as this helpful bit of information doesn't seem to be available anywhere on the sign-up page.

So AdultPlayersClub, my hat comes off to you..the modern day rendition of the boiler room con artist. If you ever figure out how to sell an adult site without smoke and mirrors...give me a call. In fact, I'll buy you a round, in celebration of your entry into the world of "real" businessmen.
