SpeedDating

Thie site I am reporting falls in the scope of internet dating/frienship site who claim that their site is free for use, but they don't get in detail until you've been fraudulently charged $191.00. In my case, I was informed I had a message waiting for me and all I had to do to answer it was click submit. Which I did, a few seconds later I was informed that the amount of $191. For a one-years membership was charged to my credit card. Five minutes later I was notified my message was able to view and after viewing it with intense unbelief, I could not find any message related to me. I notified them in writing and also called their toll free line only to be placed on hold indefinitely, so I left a professional, yet concerned reply to their service. As far as the charge goes, I don't have that much available on my credit card so I doubt if it will go through, but I will contact my credit card issuer to inform them of this. I also informed them specifically mentioning to them the laws concerning "caveat emptor" let the buyer be made aware, which they subsequently overlook. Having worked for the US Federal Judiciary for many years, I have been well versed in credit card useage in all its forms. So if you do belong to this website, or having been thinking of subscribing to this particular site; don't. I can't emphasize this enough. The internet wasn't designed in the beginning for this purpose but for the use of a quick and private vehicle to be used in the transmission of information; but it has grown into being a monster of sorts; that leaves any con artist who has repeated failed at cheating people out of their money by normal means a useful tool in their acts of deception. In ending, I believe there should be stricter control of its missuse, which is unfortunate as out nation was founded giving people freedom of speech, and the freedom to express their views without punishment or retaliation from the government. This also makes it difficult for the honest merchants and individuals conducting business on the internet and puts hesitation into even using the internet at all. Signed, Brett Montana
