I have found that after you have placed an order with this company, you will soon notice aditional charges being added to your Visa account without your even being notified by GGW/M.R.A.Video.

I have come to find out that this is not uncommon and that, this has become the common practice of this company. I guess we have become too trusting, and have come to expect well know companys to treat us with honesty and respect as customers who support their businesses.

They say they are sending you videos to try for 30 days, which would be fine if you requested this service. But for them to bill your Visa and send you a product you did not order, I would have to call this practice a rip-off.

Or if one of us ordinary people tried to do it to another, then it would probably be called criminal and one of our good law enforcement agents would put a stop to it.
