Girls Gone Wild Ripoff Cancelled account and still being charged told I had to buy 8 movies to cancel for good Van Nuys California

---

FOX 6 investigative reporter John Mattes first broke the story how Girls Gone Wild was marketing videos for only $9.99 consumers found the company tacking on huge fees. Thousands of consumers called it a rip-off on ripoffreport. After our story aired an attorney sued calling it deceptive advertising. Video part 1 Video part 2

I called a while back being I was being charged for a "monthly subscription," which I later found out is automatically set up when you order from them (my stupidity). Well, I talked to someone and cancelled my monthly subscription, and sure enough next month I had more charges (originally I had two videos coming every month, now it's only one...). I called back today, and they were EXTREMELY unprofessional. When the person answered, I could hear yelling, laughing, and cursing in the background, and the person I was speaking to even told them to quiet down because she was on the phone.

When I told her that I had called before, she pretty much interrupted me and said "Ok, that's fine.." like this kind of stuff happens all the time. I was then told that the only way to close my account completely was to order a "closing special" which consisted of 8 hardcore videos and I would be charged $110.98. I said I wasn't interested, and again she said that this was the only way to do this, and I could return the videos.

Well, I was frustrated and just said, "Fine, if that's the only way." Now I'm rethinking my decision, and I think I'm just going to close my checking account today (I used my VISA check card to make the initial purchase). The only problem is that I work for the bank that my account is with, so it's going to be a bit embarassing when I tell them why I have to close my account... I work in a different department, but I still know most of the people in my building.

Any class action suits pending? I'm in.
