Complaint Review: Intelius - Belleview Washington

Following is formal written complaint to Atty Gen office. The fact that your office closed out my complaint is tantamount to the police telling a stop sign violator that they dropped charges since driver eventually did stop later that week.
 
Can't the state of Washington realize that due to the sheer numbers of consumer complaints against Intelius that hundreds of victims can't all be accused of not being bright enough to click the proper button for the .95 one time special look-up and not "a club membership" for $19.95?
 
I now consider the office of the Attorney Generals office complicit in the fraudulent practices commonplace to Intelius day to day business. I am also copy and pasteing this correspondence to the many blogs Googled as "Intelius Scam"  Your State legislative branch is corrupt due to non-enforcement of Internet trade practices.

RE: Larry  ****
File #: 408470 Complaint

Hello KELLY OSHIRO:
Intelius customers are presented with a two tier pricing structure when purchasing reports on the Intelius website. They have the option of paying the full price, or a discounted promotional price which includes a 7 day trial in the Identity Protect subscription offered through Intelius. When a customer selects the promotional price, they are redirected to a full page display that describes in detail the benefits of the subscription and the terms and conditions of the offer. By choosing to proceed with the purchase at the promotional price, the customer agrees to the terms and conditions of the promotional offer.

In this case, Mr. **** accepted the promotional offer and signed up for the Intelius Identity Protect membership. As requested, Mr. **** Identity Protect membership was canceled on 05/08/2012 within the 7 day trial. The pending transaction of $19.95 was canceled and should be available within 3-5 business days. We appreciate your cooperation in resolving this matter and apologize for any inconvenience.

Regards,
Shane Stendell
