Complaint Review: Fling.com

This website uses profile scrapes from pornographic photo shoot models, pornhub.com, and other fake dating websites to lure potential members in with fake profiles; the site itself claims to facilitate hook-ups but really only promotes their affiliates and steals any uploaded information/video/photos to be used as stock material for re-investment into their affiliate marketing program.

When canceling a 9.95 seven-day trial, the option is given to "re-charge" your card for 9.97 and give you 30 days "cycle"; essentially what this will do is add an ADDITIONAL $10 charge to your card and make it so that once that 30 days is up you are automatically charged *whatever the heck* they feel like charging you.

When canceling any membership, the website *encourages* you to use your credit card number and email address... THIS IS AN ATTEMPT AT GETTING YOU TO PROVIDE YOUR BILLING INFORMATION TO A THIRD PARTY WHICH IS NOT BOUND BY ANY CONTRACT OR TERMS TO KEEP IT CONFIDENTIAL.

So far I am out ten dollars - I have received confirmation from "GPNETHELP" (their "billing department" affiliate) that my account has been cancelled (as I requested); my card has never been used to make any other on-line purchases or transactions so if anything fishy happens from here on out, i know EXACTLY at who to point the finger.
