This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

So I signed up for their silver membership for $24.95 a month. Then was charged $1.98 and $40.01. So I went to the billing company's website and sent them a message notifying them of these charges and requested a refund. The next day I was contacted by the website and copied the following transcript.

is there a supervisor i can talk to and a phone number i can call?

Then they would no longer respond to my messages so I copied the conversation(which they promptly deleted) and found a number for the company. A couple minutes later they had refunded my money and closed my account.

The worst part about the whole thing was not the extra charges but how I was treated by the company. Trying to bully and intimidate your customers into paying more money instead of fixing the actual problem is ridiculous. Don't trust fling.com

I had alot of trouble trying to cancel my account with Fling.com. I did some research and looked into the contract I agreed with and to cancel with Fling.com, go to the following site.

http://www.gpnethelp.com/

I just went there and canceled and I hope it works. I do not want to be billed again! I have half a mind to sue them for internet fraud and identity theft. They are getting very close to it so they better not be pushing any of my buttons any longer! I'm fed up with this this!

Fling doesn't let you cancel your account easily, so here's a workaround for NON-PAID members

Step 1:
Go to "My Profile" and click on the third option, "Make my profile inactive"

Step 2:
Go to "My account" and change the email address to something ridiculous. ie. snoopy@dkdi9ekd7kdk.com

Voila. No more annoying fling.com emails. Technically your account still exists, but at least it's inactive and the garbage these idiots send you is being forwarded into cyberspace.

If you're still concerned that some of your personal information is floating around, then I'd suggest before doing Step 1 and Step 2 above, simply go into "Profile Settings, " then "Edit Profile" and change all of the information you aren't happy with. Then do steps 1 and 2.

On Wednesday I payed for the fling 3-day trial version it is now saturday which I still have access to it. On the day I purchased the trial I also cancelled the trial I got an email saying you are cancelled not sure if thats ### or really means what it means. I am wondering if it is extended to a 7 day trial or what? I am going to check the bank today and see how my account is doing and see if they have tampered with anymore money than I payed for 9.95 I think. I also called the company help line the voice automator said I was not found in the system so Im wondering if that means I was cancelled? If anyone could help I would appreciate it.

I didn't know getting this would be so much of a hassle I just wanted a nice relaxing weekend

I payed for the 3 day trial on wednesday now I still have access and its saturday...does the trial last 7 days instead of 3 im not sure but the day of the trial i cancelled my account by going onto that side webpage which they say to do I received an email saying it has been cancelled...Im going to my bank to see if they took out the right amount or even more so did I do everything right on how to cancel? I even called the toll free # the automatic voice came on and said they can't find info on me so does that mean Im out of the system?

Really I just a 3 day trial and not a stressful weekend of worrying if this is going to become a big issue

If you can help me anyone that would be nice thanks

I'm a member of fling.com and i like it. Yes there are fake ### profiles on there where they try to get you to join a free 3 day trial on some cam site. I don't even think thats fling, fling wouldnt gain from that. Now I never did start just a normal account so i dont know how many bs emails u get. Screw those. There are a fair amount of actual people you can meet and hook up with if you have some game and some ok looks, or lowered expectations. I've hoooked up with 2 in less then a month and i have several lined up. But i have to be willing to drive 2 hrs to do so. If you live in a big city, then i'd seriusly think about it. Otherwise, u have to be willing to burn some gas
