I also purchased the Video Professor last year and received them without issue ,or so I thought , just last week I was checking my bank balance online and there was a $139.95 charge to my checking account that I had no knowledge of . I called the number which was listed as the company that made the withdrawl it was called "Homeworks Plus" and when I phoned the number provided the person who answered told me it was from the Video professor discs I had purchased a year before . She said that when I purchased the discs that I agreed to a program called "Smart Source " and that the $139.95 dollars was the amount they were charging me to continue the service . I informed this woman that I had not permitted this charge , nor did I have any knowledge of what this program even was . I was told it was a gift certificate service , whatever that is . Anyhow I was refunded my money with many apoligies and was told that they would no longer have access to my number . I just wanted to let people know that this is happening up to a year after your original purchase date of the Video Professor and BEWARE
