I thought that I was ordering just one ggw video over the phone with my credit card. Know they wont stop sending me ggw videos, and charging my credit card for them. I can not get a hold of this company to tell them to stop sending me ggw videos and charging me for it. They have a fake email addrees, and a fake phone number.

First of all, why did you send for the video in the first place? If you're interested in pornography, go into a local store and buy a much better video with cash.

Second, why are you giving out your credit card? Everybody, except you guys, already knows that there is nothing to stop someone from charging your card repeatedly, until it at the limit.

Third, as soon as you see that you have been scammed, wake the hell up. Calling and asking them to stop cheating you? Oh, yeah, that'll work real well! Christ! I've seen schoolgirls with more sense!

The only way to end the charges is to end the account. Perhaps, you can get some of the charges reversed at the same time. If you can't or won't do that, the fraud will go on for the rest of your life. That's how the fraud works!

Did you learn anything from this nonsense?

I've spent 3+ hours on the phone to try to get my money back for videos that I didn't recieve. I called to cancel and get a refund 3 times. Girl Gone Wild could not track any of the packages and told me they could not cancel me from the program. After I didn't recieve the first package I called to cancel. I called 3 months later to cancel again and get my money back. I did recieve a credit at that point. I told them to cancel me, Girls Gone Wild told me I would be canceled. One month later, I was charged again. Upon calling yet another time to cancel and get a credit, I was told that I couldn't get a credit unless I sent back the Video. I asked where the video was. They couldn't give me an answer but told me that I was canceled from service. I won't know until next month if this has been done. I will have to call back again to get my credit.

The Girls Gone Wild commercial clearly states that future videos will be charged to your credit card at a price of $19.98 each. You must call them and tell them you don't want anymore videos sent to you!
