In many cases. even if you read the small print and terms, they make it almost impossible to cancel. Some of the programs, you have to call them, and they are on the other side of the world, so the hours are completely different. And even if you do get a hold of them, they will do things like say you can have another 2 weeks or so free, not knowing that you also signed up for a hidden pre-checked cross sell, which doesn't get cancelled and you get rebilled for it.
And then there's the female members....or complete lack thereof. When you post a blank profile, with no info and no pictures, the messages start flowing in within seconds from female members that are supposedly interested in you.
Another trick...in the small print, you may find things like, your 3 day trial must be cancelled within 2 days, or will be rebilled for $xx. They get away with it, because if you cancel after 2 days, you still get access for a full 3 days. You will usually find this info somewhere around the 1,000 word mark in the Terms & Conditions....ie...buried.
So basically, they are selling a product that doesn't exist, for an amount that is much greater than what appears to be the advertised price. It may seem legit, but really not even a step above any other boiler room scam.
