Ok, so I read the complaint logged around 7/30 and the rebuttal.. so I thought maybe the consumer just did it wrong. So I went to the web site to sign up.

Well, after filling out a few screens I got a summary screen that recap'd all the info and said that I won't be charged for the next 3 days.. and then I'll start the regular charging.

Well guess what - I gave them a debit card with no money in it, just to see what happens. And I was going to cancel before the 3 days was up.

So I clicked the "confirm" button and waited..

And GUESS WHAT! Yup. I got an error screen back saying something like "the charge was not accepted by the banking institution"..

I wondered.. what charge? and flipped back to double-check the previous page and yes, they did say the were not charging me anything for the next 3 days.

Oh sure, they'll probably be back here with a rebuttal saying that they were only going to put through an "authorization" just to make sure the card was good, noting that this wouldn't really take any money out of the account.

But why didn't they say that? Why did their page say the weren't charging anything? Hmm... I guess you have to conclude..

YES...THIS BUSINESS IS A RIP-OFF.
