Karl is completely right.
He is not alone in his complaint, yet still nothing has been done by authorities concerning the illegal practices of the websites Ifriends.net, Ifriends.com, etc. or their owners, Webpower Inc.. There have been customers, ex-affliates, and ex-chathosts who have all complained of wrongdoing for years on ripoff report and other internet complaint forums but still this company and it's website has yet to be taken down.
I am here to ask Karl to please leave an email address on this report where I can contact him to get involved with his action against this very crooked website.
Hope to see an answer from Karl soon.
Thanks

iFriends employee "Sarah" says "Virtually every assertion made by Karl regarding our business is simply mistaken" AS IF there were not 404 previous complaints made against her scamming company! WHAT A LIAR! Exactly what you'd expect from scammers! Notice how she didn't actually even attempt to refute a single statement of mine? She just tried to minimize it by saying that they'd refunded $1.67, but take a look at the charges they TRIED to gouge me for, nearly $400! (on the screenshot I uploaded)
It IS true that they weren't able to rip me off for all the charges shown on my Bank Of America credit card but it wasn't for lack of trying! BofA has a great feature called ShopSafe which is a temporary credit card number they issue you online which you can limit as to how much can be charged to it and over what period of time. THANK GOD I used ShopSafe or I'd probably still be trying to get my money back from the iFriends scammers! I had put a maximum limit of $2 on it LOL which seemed reasonable for their validation of my identity, so their subsequent high charges didn't go through.
DON'T BE FOOLED by these scammers, people! Just look at all the complaints here, most of them saying exactly the same thing! And Sarah, you should be ashamed of yourself for having such low morals and principles as to falsely misrepresent your scammy company.
