I am so pissed. I just went and applied for the 3 day trial and it cost I think it was $2.99. Well I went in to go and look at it and all it was is a advertisement for a diet pill. I could not get out of it. I could never get into the gov grant direct site. So in other wards I got screwed and they now have my credit card# and will be taking out every month so I will have to go close out the account now. Great. Just great.
I signed up with them and within hours you go and look into your account and you will see that they took out the $2.95 trial fee and the $59.95. You are suppose to have a 3 day free trial on this. Ya right. Do not use them!!!!! I had to call the bank, report a unauthorized charge, cancel my card and wait ten days for a new one. All because of these people. We try to count every penny we have now and we don't want to go in our account and see almost $60.00 taken out that we did not count on.
these mother f---kers said i would be billed 1.00 and it wound up charging my account 59.95 plus the 1.00 dollar fee i was told you bastard lyeing mother f--kers rick,
Went for this, but didn't get a confirmation mail. Also the login information lead to a non-existing page. I got suspicious and looked teh site up on the internet and got lead to info about it being fraudulent... THANKS FOR THAT HELP !!!
Immediatelly blocked the account, so they get nothing.
Should have been smarter than this, but part from the hassle I could prevent worse.
