CC bill, I Bill, and all the similar named companies are known to us PIs as adult web site, credit card/payment processing services. So if you wanted to "type with one hand' and pay for the privilige - I guess that is your right. BUT, don't be naive or stupid. This goes out to all of you consumers of products of the "dark side" of the web - - - pick up a visa/mastercard/american express gift card and use that on adult web sites in the future! They carry a $5. fee per card and can be purchased for amounts of $20, $50, $100, and so on.... They allow you to register in any name you want since the account is not tied to your identity, name, or bank account in any way. Plus you are limiting the amount of your exposure. If you sign up for a service that is $25. per month with a $50. card, they can't ever get more than $50. from you!!! This is perfectly legitimate, and as long as you are paying for what you ordered no one can object to what you are doing. When the card has been used up - toss it and buy a new one! Note to all you married guys - - - any charge on your personal, individual, joint, or company credit card is evidence FOREVER of any charges to adult, dating, or gambling web sites that you have patronized. If your wife opens your mail or your credit card records are subpoenaed in a divorce ----YOU ARE TOAST!!! ONE MORE THING; one your bill, and your on-line statement the charge shows up with CCbills phone number. Anyone calling with your name OR credit card number will get the EXACT NAME OF THE WEBSITES you have been subscribing to.....RIGHT OVER THE PHONE - THERE IS NO PRIVACY OR CONFIDENTIALITY. For example, if your wife opens your mastercard bill and calls Ibill or CCbill and says what is this charge on John Doe's credit card? The will tell her EVERYTHING! When you get home, don't be surprised to find your stuff on the street and the locks changed. So take a little friendly advise, don't use your own credit card, debit card, or anything else attached to you on adult web sites; not 900 # billing, check by phone....none of it is safe, and your secret will be out (plus if those sites are hacked, you will become a victim of identity fraud too). Use a gift card, or pre-loaded card with no more than $100 bucks on it, and keep your business - your business! BE SAFE OUT THERE....
