I was sure that no internet websites /companies could rip me off but I was wrong. I'm an IT person. I thought I've seen it all, but fastblogincome.com got me. I have to congratulate them. They are the best rip off website I've seen. Let see how they did it.


First they say that it's 1.97 to sign up. It changed everyday. Their first page is design in a way that you "THINK" that you see everything that the website is all about. You think the page you are seeing is everything. No, no. if you scroll down you will never see the terms and conditions.


And if by any chance you scroll down, you will never see anything about monthly fees. It's hidden in the terms !!!


Then you move to the second page. Same thing but this time it's Expenses Tracker. They hide it on the second part on the page. And like the first page, they design the page in a way that you think that you are seeing everything about the page. No, no, Expenses tracker is hidden way down.


And if you scroll you will see that they offer you expenses tracker and you have to ckeck a box if you don;t want it. Of course, the box is not check, thus they said that you agreed


I got ripped off by them. I will never give up. I will post my story everywhere, until I see that they put that 74.95 in capital letter at the top of the first page and that they redesign their webpage and not fooling the visitor.


 


I will not give up.

Clarification of Program

#2UPDATE Employee

Mon, November 30, 2009

Fast Blog Income would like to take an opportunity to clarify our program offering.   Interest in this program is large and it has come to our attention that some people were not able to contact our office due to the high call volume Fast Blost Income was experiencing. We have taken steps to alleviate this issue by adding additional staff and increasing our telephone bandwidth, which is cutting telephone hold times considerably. We are confident that in the future all customers will not experience a delay attempting to contact our offices.  Any unsatisfied customer can contact our office at 877-204-7404 to speak with a  Customer Support Representative, during the hours of 7am 7pm (PT) or an email can be sent directly to customersupport@fastblogincome.com

The Fast Blog Income Program is designed to educate and train the customer on how to understand and develop an internet blog site. With the blog site the customer can create their own personal blogging site to promote products and services and learn how to generate traffic to their blog site, all by working with Google to generate income.

Upon signing up for the program the Terms of the program are noted several times. On the initial signup page the cost of getting involved with the program are noted on the page.   Also noted is the fact that this program is provided to everyone with a standard (3) three Day FREE trial. This 3 Day Free Trial is noted on the signup page and in the terms and conditions at the bottom of the page, along with an Earnings Disclaimer for the program.

To signup for the program, customers are charged a $2.97 processing fee. For the processing fee, the participants receive The Money Making Kit, access to online tutorials, and Unlimited Customer Support.   After the 3 day free trial ends, the customer is subject to a monthly charge of $74.97 in order to continue the service.  All these costs are clearly noted in the  Terms and Disclosures on the page. The terms on the page are as follows: By submitting this form, I am ordering this product's trial membership for $2.97 for the processing fee. Unless cancelled, I will be charged $74.97 upon completion of the 3 day trial period. The charge will reoccur monthly at a total of $74.97 until cancelled. I have read and agree to the Terms and Conditions / Privacy Policy. To cancel call (877) 453 5682 or email customersupport@fastblogincome.com.

In addition, at the bottom of the initial signup page there is a link to the full program Terms.

Then on the second page in the signup process, the initial cost of $2.97 is again clearly noted on the page, with the terms below it. Once the customer enters their personal information to signup they MUST click to agree to the Terms before their account can be established. There is a check box that must be toggled to YES which reads,  Yes, I want the Google Startup Kit and agree to the terms.  In fact, EVERY customer that signs up for the program, MUST click in the required box to Agree with the terms. There can be no question as to what the program costs are.

Immediately after the signup process is completed, the customer receives confirmation emails for their various purchases. These Confirmation Emails again contain the initial program costs and the monthly charge requirement, the descriptor for the billing charge and the terms for the account maintenance.

During the sign up process, there are completely separate and additional services that can be added to the program. These programs are elective and are not require to participate
