Last month I checked a very rarely used debit card of mine and noticed that I had two charges from Friendfinder for $29.95 debited to it. I contacted AFF and asked them what these charges were for and they told me that it was for an old profile that I had on their site.
I remembered that I had a previous profile on there but I stopped it when I left the country that it was located in. After further emailing with AFF they told me that "PROFILE NAME" has not been charged on our site since 1/23/2009.
I then asked them if this is the case then why do I have two charges on my debit card in 2010 and many from last year. They then asked for more details from me i.e credit card number and said they would look into it.
Today I received the following response from them
"Thank you for contacting us.
Initial orders can only be refunded within 60 days from the date your order was approved. Unfortunately we are unable to process a refund for the order you are requesting. We apologize for any misunderstanding.
If you have further billing related questions, please feel free to contact us. "
I responded that it has now become a simple matter of theft and fraud on their part. They knew that I stopped payment for this profile in January of last year, yet they KNOWINGLY continued to charge my debit card whenever there was enough money on the card to be charged.
I am just thankful that I have never kept much money on the card as they would have continued to charge me $30 a month for another 14 months. For them to continue to take money from me when they knew that I had stopped being a financial member last year is plain and simple THEFT.
