I actually signed up for information on "How to Make Profit using Craig's List" back on September 8th. I went through the whole sign up process & at the end of submitting all of my info, they asked if I could agree to their Terms & Conditions. I agreed to them, otherwise I would be unable to sign up, but in order for me to agree to anything, especially when it involves my credit card info, I briefly review it or just scan for numbers, I mean who wants to read a ton of pages before signing up. At first I didn't see where they were, but when I looked near the bottom, I saw a paragraph in white typing that listed all of the charges for me so I didn't have to go through a million pages. It stated that for $1.95 you could access all the info you requested within a 14-day trial period in which they send you in a confirmation email immediately after you sign up. I also saw that if you decide not to cancel during the trial period, then there is a reoccurring monthly fee of $39.90, & after 30 days of signing up there is a one time fee of $129.90. Now I wanted to read just a little further in to see exactly what I was getting myself into, so I checked the email they sent to my inbox, logged onto their Resource Center & checked out the info I requested. I also noticed in the same email, that there was a link to view their service agreement. I opened it up & seeing that it was exceptionally short, I reviewed again the charges only this time to see if they explained what they were for. It stated that the one time fee of$129.90 provides unlimited access to their Resource Center, which makes sense to me seeing that after a month you get to view the info as much as you want no matter what. I was charged the $129.90 on October 8th in which the unlimited access helped a great deal, & was also charged twice a monthly fee of $39.90, once on September 22 & another on October 22nd. I ended up canceling because I found what I was looking for making the program no longer personally useful for me. When I called the number in the email they sent, I spoke with Mark Murphy as well. He seemed very respectable when I informed him I no longer needed the program & it took him no more than 5 minutes to cancel me out. After he canceled my account, he gave me a 9-digit confirmation number.
What this explains is if you decide to sign up for anything online, don't immediately assume it's a scam just because you failed to actually read what you agreed to. Now there are some scams out there, but usually they don't have a call service & usually they don't cancel your account or give you verification using a confirmation number. As you can see, this program offers useful information in which you can view during the trial, otherwise if you don't want to be charged, simply call the company like it stated in the terms & conditions, & cancel before the trial is over. After taking my time to review exactly what I was agreeing to, I found everything I needed to know. Had I not read the terms, I would have been in the same predicament. Now I am to believe that Mark was trying to explain to Nancy exactly what she signed up for but clearly, she failed to review that information making her to believe that they were stealing money from her. But if she would have just taken the time, she would have been relieved of having to make a dispute, having to argue, make complaints, get frustrated, & most importantly trying to get her money back, when fist & foremost, they also state that there are no refunds after the trial period. I highly suggest no matter who you are, make sure you review whatever it is you agree to online, even if it takes a few moments. It will save you time & of course, money. And if you simply don't want to go through all the trouble, then I advise not to sign up.
I also have the website from which I signed up. The informative paragraph including the charges is in white typing & located just below the add. It is not difficult to see & it also not difficult to check a box agreeing to them. Thank you for your time.
