The greatest scammers in the world. They were charging me $39.90 every month since December 2008 till May 2009. It took me 6 month and cost $240 to finally cancel it. I never used the web site or had anybody contact me. Please do not repeat my mistake! Any ideas how can I fight them and get my money back? I will greately appretiate any help.

It would appear that if the requirements are really easy, or cheap, that should fly a red flag.
Thanx for the web-site, waffles. another weapon in my arsenal.

I, too, ordered this kit. I haven’t received it yet, I should have read this before, but I said for $1.95 what the heck, God knows I’ve spent more online over the years with no results. It’s really a shame how people use and abuse Craigslist, which started out as a legitimate place to post and respond to ads.

Hey David, sorry to hear. Might still want to call your bank to see if they can reverse it or at least issue a new card. Might also consider filing a complaint with at FTC.gov.

I just got caught in the Cragslist scam as written about in the above article. I was promissed a trial period of 14 days. They sent me an email saying they had run out of the program and one would be sent asap. Also they stated they would extend the trail period so I would have plenty of time to review the material. Not so, I didn’t recieve the material until 12 days into the trial period, which they were suppose to extend. I called them on the 4 day after I recieved the material to cancel the membership, they had already charged and posted the charge to my credit account. They would not give me a refund.
