They Are Still At It

They? I won’t tell you a name but I had trouble with this outfit or person before and would not do any kind of business with him. If you want to contact me directly I will give you the information.

I subscribed to something he had and they started charging me $?? a month. I tried to stop it and they would not do it. I called and wrote and emailed but it continued till I canceled the credit card.

I have tried to stop his email also to no avail and got one today with another “too good to be true” offer, so I decided to let you in on this again. Some of these guru’s never stop. Silvie Fortin wrote about this very thing and I quoted her in this post, Silvie’s site is here.

Now you can see below that they say “I am under no obligation to continue my membership and I can cancel at any time”. Just try to cancel and see what happens. I would bet they do to you what they did to me, so this is just a warning!

[YOU MUST CHECK THIS BOX TO CONTINUE] I understand that my investment today is only $1.00 (one dollar) which grants me instant access for ten full days, to unlock your secret for myself and start getting my inspired ideas, projects and dreams FUNDED for whatever I can imagine!

If I decide to cancel before my ten-day pass expires, I will not be billed anything further. But if I decide to stay on as a member, my card will automatically deduct a charge of $67.77 a month for 4 more months. I am under no obligation to continue my membership and I can cancel at any time.

UpDate on “I could have written This”

The former post about I could have written this but not as good has an ongoing story from me.
In that message I had just closed the credit card account to stop a company from continuing to charge me on an account that they said they had closed. Today I got an email that they had charged the card again but it was denied, of course it was since the credit card was gone.
But after I had the account closed I contacted the company again and they assured me the membership was closed and no more charges would be made.
That whole thing goes right along with what Silvie Fortin said that I quoted in the previous post.

I COULD HAVE WRITTEN THIS BUT NOT AS GOOD!

This is an excerpt from a article by Silvie Fortin that I received from her in a training article. She hit the nail right on the head about the time I was preparing to write about these things because they were happening to me. Matter of fact I just closed a credit card account to stop a recurring charge that they told me for three months would be stopped. I will let her say it.

“Things like: “If someone asks for a refund, ignore their request and if they write again, pretend you never got the first one.

Most people forget they asked and our refund rates will drop accordingly” “If someone cancels their subscription to our autoresponder, re-subscribe them manually.

Don’t worry, they probably won’t even notice” “We have a telephone number for people to call and cancel their subscription to ___product name___, but don’t worry about it. Ignore those messages.

If they really want to cancel, they will send an email, but take your time on those. Most people forget they asked to cancel until at least 3 more months have passed.” “Don’t process any refunds. We’ll handle it internally” (NOTE, these particular vendors were complete assholes and never processed a single refund internally or otherwise)

“I know the marketing technique in ___ebook name___ is crap, but who cares?
It still makes me over ___$$$___ per day and the truth is, less than 20% of our customers are smart enough to figure it out””

Silvie, thank you for saying it like it is and to help others have a better life on the web.
