Tricks 4 Travel Deceptive Advertisement - Free CD costed me $85 Saint George Utah

Well if someone reports a rip off change your name.

Looks like that is what they did:  they are t4tcorp.com now.  Thanks for the heads up tonya.

Just so you know, this is the same "business model" that you see with the "Free Grant Money" and "Work For GoogleAds" offers that are popping up like malignant mushrooms all over the net now...

You get offered a "$1.95 for shipping" CD and, as mentioned above. are very quietly signed on to 2 or 3 more "subscription" services that you usually would never want nor need.

The bugger of it comes when you realize that not only is your bank account or credit card going to be bleeding money in the very near future as all these services start kicking in and extracting their fees, but you have to call in and cancel from each, individual service. Word is, that at least one of said services will be nigh impossible to contact to cancel. One poor schmuck on here got shafted to the tune of $120+ once all the crap kicked in and reached it's peak.

Oh, and one more thing... Depending on which one of these goofball outfits you get roped into, if you want to take legal action against them, you have to go to a specific jurisdiction to do so. One guy who lives in California, for example, would have to go to Florida to attend court proceedings there, and the Canadian version of this hustle makes you go to the UK.

The businesses aren't actually fraudulent as such, as they list their terms and conditions on the site, but the way in which the business is conducted is misleading and deceptive at best; the terms are not hidden, but rather obscured behind a tiny link at the bottom of the page, and that page tends to be very long, for example. Sadly, people are in such a rush to get to those "too good to be true" wads of fantasy cash, that people don't take the time to uncover this stuff.

Something tells me that action beyond entities such as the BBB are needed, like something on the federal level under law.
