Global Domains International / Website.ws unnecessary charges

Global domains international claims that it is free to join. (see their website) they only give you 7 days for 'free' without properly stating that.in order to sign-up, credit card information is required you have to give credit card information so they can charge your credit card after 7 days anyone that fails to cancel (which is made complicated) is on the hook. Even if you cancel chances are that they will keep charging your credit card.
Gdi has charged me twise by $ 10.
Gdi also appear an image to stay on website which is attached.
The image shows that gdi has strong intense to cheat public.

I completely disagree with this post and here are my reasons.

I have heard of a couple of people state that they are being charged after canceling. However, that is only a couple out of tens of thousands of people. And after finding out more information from the people who are complaining they never actually canceled.

While I agree it can be a bit bothersome to have to call a number in order to cancel, this is to protect people's accounts from misuse. They state very clearly in the support tab which is located on the home page when you are a member and the support forum which can be found via the "Forum" button on the home page.

Second, the image that is shared is not an actual Global Domains International, Inc. (GDI) page. It was copied by someone and changed to include that pop-up and the header. You will not find a GDI page which has that heading or a pop-up.

Third, you can very easily look up Global Domains International, Inc. at the Better Business Bureau and see how many complaints they have received in their 12 years of business. Very few, and of those all were settled according to the BBB. The BBB also gives them a grade of A- on a scale of A to F. This is a very good score.

All in all, the person writing the complaint is showing a page that is not from Global Domains International. I cannot comment directly on the charges other than saying it is something that I have only heard about a couple of times in my 6 years with the company and is probably a result of not following GDI's procedure, which is clearly stated.

Global Domains International / Website.ws Unauthorized billing

After carefully looking at a number of online offers GDI got my attention with their picture of a Ferrari and the slogan: 'Do you want one of these?' The testimonials convinced me that GDI offered what I was looking for. I signed up with GDI and studied the concept. I did not need the Domain name and the 10Megabites of hosting other than for getting others to sign-up, with the promised income in mind. It turns out that all these testimonials are bought with their so called contests.

Although GDI claims that it is free to join.(See their website) They only give you 7 days for 'free' without properly stating that. In order to sign-up, credit card information is required you have to give credit card information so they can charge your credit card after 7 days anyone that fails to cancel (which is made complicated) is on the hook. Even if you cancel chances are that they will keep charging your credit card.

The product is just to cover-up an illegal pyramid scam. Godaddy (godaddy.com) which is a respectable company that services businesses for years and offers a hosting package for just over $4.00 per month for 10 Gaga-bites and 100 email accounts 10 times the hosting space and email accounts GDI offers for $10 per month. The real value of GDI hosting is just $0.40 per month and a DOT- COM domain name which is better than WS is offered for just $10.10 per year. And the WS domain name at Godaddy.com for $15.00 per YEAR This makes the real value of GDI's package just under $1.40 per month If you sign-up for more domain names which GDI tries to let you do it's a lot worst, You are then charged $20.00 or $30.00 per month for just 2 or 3 domain names three domain names registration cost $30.00 per YEAR. Businesses get their domain names from companies like Yahoo and Godaddy not from GDI WebSite.WS

Most of the people I signed up did not continue the program and quited in a few months. However I don't give up on things easily I was thinking constantly how to get things going. I spend around $20, 000.- in advertising. After a total of 2 years in the program my income was $130.00 per month for two years full-time work not very good and not even a drop in the ocean compared to the promises.

In short My complain is GDI is a plain Pyramid Scam. Only a few subscribers are making money which is not made clear in their presentations. And their websites.

My second Complain is about the use of my sons credit-card. I had used My personal Credit card to pay for a person in my down-line After I was no longer a member of GDI I was going to make sure that charges for this person would no longer come off my credit card. I canceled my Credit card. However GDI apparently had a credit-card of my son on file who has the same first name as I do, Which I was not aware of and might have used on an occasion.

Without informing me or receive authorization GDI started in January this year(2008) to use my sons credit card for this account, which was not in my name or my sons name. Henry Koopman was the subscriber to that account.For five months GDI took money from my son, He did not think anything of-it because he thought it was for me and was not concerned of getting it from me eventually. When he came to ask me for the money it was for 5 months taken of his account. I have asked GDI to return the money to my sons card but they refuse to give it back. Finally after complaining with the credit card company the credit-card company returned the funds into my sons credit card.

GDI always denies any charge against them.

Are you satisfied with your username? as it served as your domain name when you signup and it's the first thing that most of the newbies are making mistakes and there is no provision for any further edit.

when you signup for the first time you need to get in touch with your sponsor for him will put you through all the steps you need if you don't have a sponsor please join me at www.abbatech.ws or just mail me at info@abbatech.ws

I have been with GDI for 5 months and have one sign up. I advertise like crazy and have been through the training more than once and work 4-5 hours a day, building my list builders and posting as many ads as possible. I used all the lists recommended and the recommended ad text. Any advice would be so welcome, I do not want to give up and don't feel it is a scam, I am just unhappy at not having more success. I just need some help and that is my main issue. Getting my sponsors to respond to me has been useless. If you have any suggestions please send them to me at heraldangel1@yahoo.com.

I am always amazed at how some can be mis informed then post negative opinions which only hurts all of us trying to build a work from home income/business. GDI is not a pyramid; I have 17000+ downline since I started in March 2010, and any one of those members could earn any amount that they choose to work for. Programs online will work IF we learn the skills to send enough prospects (traffic) to the system being used to make the sale. Godaddy does not offer a comparable work from home business opportunity so the comparison is totally not valid for what either company offers and is based on. Lastly, GDI has a strict cancellation policy that requires the member to phone them. This is for various security reasons. Letting a credit card payment go for months suggests the member did not look in their backoffice to learn the policy or to reach out to up line members for the facts. I hope anyone reading this realizes success in any program online requires each of us to take responsibility for knowing our business and learning the skills to make it work. I hope this is helpful.

I been in GDI for over a month and already seeing some residual, its not a "pyramid scheme" or a scam, and don't expect to make a million in a single day, if you were making money with the company how would it be a scam ? its your fault that you didn't check your billing statements . Please don't try to to hurt the reputation of a good standing company with your bad experience which was your own fault . for people looking to make it with GDI please check my website (its not a gdi sign up page like the other guys post)

First off, let me say, many are right about this guy not checking on his stuff and letting it get out of hand. I was involved with GDI once and cancelled for personal reasons at the time. billing stopped, no problem. Let me clear up what is and is not illegal in a pyramid scheme; Illegal schemes sell no product or service to the consumer. Many companies use MLM payout systems to pay people. If you are selling a legitimate product/service to the consumer, it is legal, no matter how you get paid. The web site hosting is a legitimate service. Just because many decide to only promote GDI, doesn't mean that's all there is. You can use the website as an affiliate marketer for thousands of other legitimate sale items or link to other companies for referral commissions. That's where you make the real money. Why settle for only GDI down-line referrals when you can add all this other income to the site? And yes, you can get web hosting for less money just like you can get anything for less, if you look around. The price for what they offer is, in my opinion, reasonable.

I believe the complaint. If you check any website posted on here it just brings you to the GDI sales page. None of anything from GDI makes any sense. It reminds me of when i joined SMC. They get you in and wont let you out. You have to work for months to try and stop charges. If you want out and are not let out immediately something is really wrong with this companies business practices. I got out of SMC by canceling every account i had to stop them from charging me. They are still chasing me for a $36 charge which has ballooned to $632 to cover collection companies expenses. Maybe if one person wrote something that actually made sense my opinion would change about GDI. They say you DO NOT have to sell anything but everyone is talking about sales. What are you selling? It makes no sense. It has pyramid scheme written all over it. Say something like how it works. What is sold. You say you need to drive traffic to your website. What is on your website? If it is just another GDI sales pitch then that is a pyramid scheme. Like it or not that's what it is! I check every website posted here and it brought me straight to GDI sales pitch for GDI. Nothing is being sold. It is an updated version of a pyramid scheme. Sending someone to the bottom of the list to work their way to the top by sending others to the bottom of the list. That is a pyramid scheme.

Are you serious? GDI has been paying all my bills for over 5 years now. My GDI income has continued to grow since the crash in 2008 where most others have seen a decline in their incomes or lost their jobs. GDI has been one of the best things that ever happened to me.

I learned how to use SEO to get my GDI websites to the top of the Internet and get lots of traffic and sign ups. It's been working so well, I teach my down line how to do the same.

You can't blame GDI for the outrageous cost or ineffectiveness of your advertising. You also can't blame them for not paying attention to the multiple charge cards you registered with them.

I don't want to sound hard, but it looks like you need to pay more attention, make better judgements and take responsibility for your own actions.

I love my GDI website, GlobalDomainsInt.ws, and the monthly residuals and weekly $100 bonuses have been a Godsend... for years!

It's so obvious that you never really learned what this business is about. You failed to follow up on your personal finances/credit card charges by allowing an entire 5 months to go by before noticing the accrued charges. If you spent that much money on marketing and advertising and only resulted in 130 sign-ups, you basically shot yourself in the foot by once again, allowing that much in marketing expenses add up and probably never making and changes in directions that would be best for your campaigns (if you even know what that is). You mean to tell us that once your marketing budget reached, lets say...$2, 000...it never dawned on you to "make some adjustments?" You basically allowed your ship to sink and never thought that if the water keeps on coming into the ship, it might be a good idea to waterproof before it sinks. Let's hope you never end up a captain of a cruise ship, you just might turn on the engines and let it run straight into dry land or even worse... a huge iceberg.

Global Domains International / Website.ws Scam and lies

I signed up for a 7 days trail service with the Global Domains International and sent a cancellation request email 2 days prior to the expiration day. As a matter of fact, I had to call them to cancel the service, but I live in Japan and there is a huge time difference between the US and Japan, it was difficult for me to call during their office hour around that days. So I emailed them writing the reason why I cannot call them.

They did not respond for the next two days. Then I was charged by the paypal. I send the second email claiming about this through the email. Several hours later they finally emailed me responding to my first email saying to call their office, there is no other way to cancel the service. They did not mention if they would refund my money or not.

Do you see how slow their response is? I made a contact with them 2 days prior to the expiration day. This means their catch �7 days trail� is a lie, not made for the people oversea.

OK, I was wrong that I did not call them as the company defined to do so. However, the company�s service is not for the GLOBAL, INTERNATIONAL people. If they are trying to be that big, they need to provide more convenient, considerate service for the customers in the world.

Not only that, their web site is designed difficult to find how to cancel the service. Yes it is written how somewhere, but it is not that easy to find as much as sign up page. This must be their way to keep their customers, but it is not friendly at all. I see this kind of mean services everywhere. This attitude must be changed. Whenever a company makes contact with a customer, they need to clearly indicate their address, phone/FAX number, URL, how to unsubscribe the service at least.

In the 2002 Inc magazine, they ranked in the number 37 spot out of the 500 fastest growing companies in the USA. But, sorry I am going to pull their leg.

I am a freelance writer. I am going to write about this in my column feature about problems using international services.

When you signup for a trial you are not required to provide any of your payment detail so why are you bother about cancelling the subscription because it can be automatic when you exceed that limit
