i received my bank statement today and found one particular transaction extremely foreign.
it said 1-877-7996840REELHD.COM 877-8996840 USD 39.95 Transaction amount 55.13
having zero impression of what the hell it was, i went online to www.reelhd.com.
and then i discover to my horror that i had actually subcribed for a free 5 day trail of online movies on the 29th of august.
so i went to Q&A and here's e catch:
As indicated during the signup process, the 5-Day trial gives you free access to our Premium services for five days. To avoid service interruptions, your trial membership automatically renews as a monthly Premium membership, billed at $39.95 per month, unless cancelled before the trial expires.
then i went to find out more abt my memebership and i realized that my next billing will be 3rd of oct which is 3 days from now and i've actually paid $55.13 for the last 27days for nth.
this is not funny.
i am fuming.
i decided to cancel my membership in fear that i will have to pay another $55.13 the following month.
and this is what u have to choose at the end of the cancellation ship.
* Yes, I am sure that I would like to cancel my Premium Membership and agree to the $0.99 convenience fee for online cancellation. I also understand that I will receive an email confirming the cancellation.
Additionally, I would like to delete my free Regular Membership and immediately remove my account information from your database, thus preventing me from logging in to the members' area and using the free service.
first of all, i've to pay 0.99 cancellation fee.?
and e fact that they have the second option goes to show how many ppl have been cheated of their money.
it was supposed to be a free online streaming site my friend recommended and here i am now stuck wth this.
this sure doesnt come second to losing my wallet.
that wasnt e best part.
the following is:
We're sad to see you go.
We value our customers. That's why, for today only, we're offering you a $2.95 Monthly Premium Membership. There are no obligations and you can cancel anytime. Take advantage of this one-time offer, select "Keep My Membership for $2.95" now!
* A charge of $2.95 from ReelHD.com/s 1-877-7996840 will appear on your credit card statement every month until cancelled.
does this mean that all other dumb dumb users don't know they hv actually been paying 13 times more than ppl who tried to cancel and was once again duped into paying again.?
i guess so.
oh did i mention e first qns on their Q&A reads "why was i billed 39.95?"
we all know which question got e most hits now dont we.?
