Since becoming aware of the above RipOffReport complaint, we have been in contact with Tyler and the matter has been resolved to his satisfaction. Because customer service is our number one priority, we have issued refunds for the charges in question. Should there be any further questions or concerns, he can contact our Customer Support Department 24/7 at (800) 243-9726. Our toll-free telephone number is posted prominently next to every charge on every credit card bill a customer receives. Additionally, a link to telephone and email contact information is provided on every page of the website. Our transaction records indicate that the account in question was created using Tyler's personal information, including credit-card number, mailing address, email address, and IP address. The foregoing information was independently verified using records supplied by Visa/Mastercard, as well as by internet IP-address registries. Regarding the substance of the complaint, the scenario presented in Tyler's report is not one that realistically could have occurred on our web site. We offer several different types of memberships. While the standard iFriends membership carries no charge, the charges mentioned by Tyler were for additional premium services requested by Tyler. The membership in which Tyler opted to enroll included the fees mentioned in his report. All charges incurred by Tyler on the account were clearly and conspicuously disclosed in advance. No customer could incur charges as specified in Tyler's complaint without advance disclosure of such charges and numerous multiple click-throughs by the customer to indicate his acknowledgement and affirmative consent to such charges.
