I read the ad posted at the following web site https://www.myonlinecashsecret.com/091509/index.php?subid=200041&subid2=35697&hitid=670334550 . I filled out the form expecting to be charged $0.99 for an instructional CD. They wrote that I agreed to 3 seperate memberships for which monthly billing will commence after the short trial period. It will be charged to my debit card. The company does not answer their telephone. I do not know the true name of the company. Billing has not yet started.
What can I do now?

When you sign up for this, you will be charged either $.99 or $1.97. After you pay that initial fee, you will be on a screen that will offer a VIP membership for $29.99. What you don't know is that you have already been charged the $29.99.

During signup we checked the account that we used to sign up and we were already charged $29.99 while still on the VIP membership signup page. We hadn’t agreed or disagreed to sign up for the VIP membership.

This is completely illegal and these guys should be investigated thoroughly. There is no way these guys are mistakenly charging customers. They are doing this on purpose and should be jailed for their obvious disregard for US or Canadian law.

It states to sign up for the VIP membership hit "Yes" at the bottom of the page. It doesn't matter what you hit because you were already charged regardless.

In the TOS on the original sign up page it states that you will be charged an additional $68.53 if you do not cancel the membership within 7-days. This is in the tiny TOS link on the bottom of the sign up page. Nothing tells you this anywhere else.

So here is you cost breakdown:
1st Charge - $.99 or $1.97 – Known up front
2nd Charge - $29.99 - Without Consent/Approval
3rd Charge - $68.53 - According to the hidden TOS

Please do not feed these rip off artists. If this type of thing was true, Hundreds of thousands of people would be taking advantage of it. In this case thousands of people are being taken advantage of.

cascabelmuda,

I apologize for any misunderstanding regarding the services you've been receiving from our company. There are no commitments with the free product you ordered however there are bonus free trial periods to membership websites that accompany the free CD and we do our best to disclose this as it is stated several times throughout the ordering process - on the sales page, the order page, the confirmation page and the thank you email, it is then also explained in the first paragraph of the Terms and Conditions of the offer. We offer the trial periods to give our clients a chance to use the services and see the value of them for themselves before they are billed for them. The trial periods are free for 7-30 days from the order date depending on which bonuses apply and we would not have charged you had you called customer service and canceled during the trial period as it is not our desire to bill clients who do not want the membership after the free trial offer ends.

The following is the first paragraph of the Terms and Conditions of the offer (the Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy links can be found on every page of the sales ad):

Bonus Material Terms and Termination.
By purchasing this product, you agree to adhere to the termination agreement as outlined on the order page, confirmation of order page, and confirmation email, which is that you, the buyer, are not entitled to a refund of the upfront cost of any shipping and handling that may or may not have been charged to you for delivery of said product. Furthermore, any free trials that may or may not be offered with this product are only free during the said allotted time of the free trial period as outlined within the product sales page, confirmation of order page, and confirmation email. If you have not cancelled the free bonus within the free trial period (if offered on product purchasing), you are agreeing to purchase the bonus material and/or service at a monthly reoccurring cost. This can be cancelled by calling the customer service number provided in the confirmation email between the hours of 9AM and 9PM EST M-F and stating your desire to cancel said bonus material. However, in order to not be charged any future reoccurring cost, please give ample time (2 business days) to be cancelled out of any reoccurring billing system before the next scheduled charge to your account (this does not apply during any trial period). Not canceling trial programs constitutes authorization, by you, the buyer, for any charges (as outlined) for the associated bonus service until your request to cancel has been received by our customer service staff. By not canceling the bonus program during the trial period or prior to two days before a scheduled billing cycle, you agree that any reoccurring charges billed to you will be non-refundable.

As you can see the Terms direct the customer to the sales page, confirmation of order page and the confirmation email where all pertinent information is provided to the customer before, during and after placing their order.

The following disclosure is directly from our website and can be found on both the order and thank you pages:
"By submitting this form, I am ordering the Click Money CD™ and trial membership for $.99 S&H. After the 7 day trial, I will be charged $59.95 a month thereafter if I do not cancel. I also agree to the 14 day and 21 day bonus trials to the Fast Grants Members Site™ and Network Agenda™ for $14.95 a and $9.95 a month thereafter, should I choose not to cancel. I have read and agree to the Privacy Policy | Terms & Conditions. For questions, call 1-888-249-4806, anytime, 24 hours a day."

Click Money™ comes with a 7 day free trial to our member’s website where we offer one on one live chat assistance and it teaches users how to make money using Google’s AdWords and AdSense Programs. Customers can use these programs to create Google AdWord-based Advertisements and place ads on Google searches using Google AdWords. They can do this either for their own sites or they can use Google AdSense to funnel traffic through their sites to other sites and get paid for the traffic they generate.

Click Money™ also comes with two fast action bonuses:
First is a 14 day free trial to our Fast Gov Grants™ Site, which offers access to one of the largest grant data bases where you can find both government and private foundation grantors. It offers information from Dr. Porter who is a licensed and certified grant writer. The information that is offered through our member’s website is more extensive than what other companies sell in coaching programs that cost thousands of dollars, so we feel that we are offering our clients the best value in the industry. After the trial period, it is a reduced monthly membership fee of $14.95 because you are already a member of another of our programs.

The second fast action bonus is a 21 day free trial for Network Agenda™, an affiliate company that offers an online date book that will allow you to keep track of your daily schedule and will even send you reminders to your cell phone. After the free trial, the service is $9.95 a month membership fee.

For assistance, please contact customer service at 1-888-249-4806 and there you will find a helpful agent waiting to assist you with your concerns.

If you are another customer that is reading this and you have already tried customer service, but feel that we have failed you in some way or you feel you weren't treated fairly please call me directly at 435-773-1795, or email me at customerservice@cshelp.org, I will be happy to address your concerns ASAP.

Sincerely,
Online Customer Support

p.s. In regards to the comment above by ezmfewe: we are NOT myonlinecashsecrets.com, nor are we affiliated with this company in any way. The charges he has mentioned are not from our company.

Im sorry but you are WRONG!!! As much as I would love to believe your company is true you do not stae any of this information before a customer gives there credit card information. You make everything an absolut secret so people don't know what they are really getting into. A real legit businees should be upfront with everything before anyone paye for anything here is a link proving you do not share any info upfront http://www.myonlinecashsecrets.com/v/14/page2.aspx

I have to admit, the advertisement did look tempting and I did agee to sign up for it and so far I dont have a good felling about this! you have to go through so much just to get started and that alone concerned me alot. I just joined yesterday and im ready to cancel my membership and get my refund back because this is just to much to be going through and I really don't have the time! When I saw all the complaints and bad comments from other people that really just made me make up my mind to go ahead and cancel and im hoping that I can with no problem! So with all this being said please do not join or agree to this scam!

I agreed to the $1.97 trial fee before I realized there would be a recurring monthly charge of $74.97. OK, my fault for not reading the terms & conditions. So I shot an email immediately to support@myonlinecashsecrets.com requesting to cancel. Not only did I not get no response, but I was charged the $74.97 five days later (thought I had 7 to cancel!!!) AND now, a week later, I have some other charge of $19.97 from pennytodollar.com which I have no idea what it's for or who it's from. The whole thing makes me want to puke...nobody answers any of the customer service phone numbers or emails provided and these charges have overdrawn my account, which costs me another $32 in fees from my bank! This bull**** has now cost me over $128.00 and I don't know how to stop it! What is it going to charge me tomorrow? Now I have to cancel my bank account...Nightmare. Stay away from this!!!
