Photopoint What a Rip Off!
I also had many pics at photopoint, some that can't be replaced. I received no notice to move my pics by a certain date. When they started charging I gladly paid the fee as the site was so easy to use. They did give notice before to people who did not want to pay a chance to move th...

Unbelievable. Photopoint.com apparently went out of business and did not tell anyone. What a ripoff. I can understand businesses needing to do tough things but not notifying their customers is beyond belief. Photopoint did not store my only copy of my photos but the hours that I...

Photopoint.com charged me $29.95 a year for a service I was able to use for 2 months.
I bought their service for $29.95 a year to be able to post pictures on the internet. I sell items on the net that I make at my home. I used their service to my load pictures to their sight and they linked them to the internet.

PhotoPoint.com took funds under false pretenses
Since we paid our subscription fees by credit card, call your CC and get a partial refund. Then send a email to the FBI Fraud Div and SEC.
All this would do is to prevent the perpetrator from doing it again.
They took funds under false pretenses. This should also slow them do...

Photopoint why not a little nitice you ripoffs
After paying 19.95 for storage, photopoint.com goes off line taking hundreds of my photos. If they had given a day's notice, subscribers like me could have at least salvaged our photos. Does anyone know how to reach them?

The way I see things is that this situation will not be the last if there is no regulation over the net. I believe for using their service we should be compensated if they can just pick up and leave like a fart in the wind than who is to say it won't happen again. Well its not reall...
