I signed up for a free trial for $1.95 to do a search on people smart. No where did it say I would be charge more. It was advertised as a trial. No where did I see that I would become a member and automatically be charged after 6 days. I was charged over $100.00 dollars for this free $1.95 trial. 

Please be aware of the hundreds of complaints against this company where people had exactely the same experience. 

I do not understand how this company can still be in business. Perhaps no one has taken the time to file a complaint. 

This has been a great inconvenience having to deal with them and my credit card. I hope they do not take advantage of another customer. Please take them off the net and please look at all the complaints online. 

This is internet fraud.

Hi, when you purchase a report on PeopleSmart.com, you have the option to sign up for a 7-day free trial membership. You may cancel any time in that period to avoid a charge. The $39.95 annual membership includes unlimited access to certain reports, while premium reports may be purchased at an additional cost. It sounds like you may have purchased additional reports. If you feel like you have been incorrectly charged, please contact our friendly customer service team at 1-888-813-0008.

4. Free TrialsWe encourage the use of our Services through free trials. Free trials generally last for one week for eligible new members. Free trials are only available to first time customers. You must have internet access and a valid payment source to redeem a free trial offer. Upon registering for your free trial, your payment source will be authorized for up to approximately one membership period of service. In some instances, your available balance or credit limit may be reduced to reflect the authorization; however, no charges will be made against the payment source unless you do not cancel prior to the end of your free trial membership period. We will begin billing your payment source for membership fees corresponding to your membership period at the end of your free trial unless you cancel prior to the end of your free trial. You will not receive a notice from us that your free trial membership has ended or that your paying membership has begun. YOU MUST CANCEL PRIOR TO THE END OF YOUR FREE TRIAL TO AVOID CHARGES TO YOUR PAYMENT SOURCE. We will continue to bill your payment source on a recurring basis on the anniversary of your membership period until you cancel. You may cancel your membership at anytime, and cancellation will be effective immediately. We do not provide refunds for any partial membership periods.

Perhaps you should have read this...you should now follow up at their site for instructions on how to cancel your account.  The terms of Service link is at the bottom of their home page.

Not sure how this is construed as fraud.
