This website claimed to offer solutions to business questions and stated to receive a report (solution) to questions typed into the search engine by way of download containing the information, a fee would be required. They charged money, not a lot of money, but just enough to cause trouble. I didn't receive a download, but another webpage of information appeared containing three paragraphs of 100 or less words of vague and unusable information. Then a popup appeared with a cartoon of befuddled man sitting on chair scratching his head, with the catch phrase, "Hey Dummy!" splattered across the top as a heading. This page contained a stupid test, that was supposed to be a test on the information they provided, which was nothing! I was very insulted and angry that I forked over personal information including my credit card information for this charade! BrainMass.com needs to get a life and stop victimizing students and wasting their time and money!
You can view the information they charged for at http://www.BrandinMass.com/instant/?id=895cbb034119c4b82f3754b4445836583658c

something similiar hapened to me
AUTHOR: deborah - (USA)

I did a search to get homework help on the web and brainmass.com came
up. so I proceeded to the website to post a message and entered my
credits but it kept asking me for more credits. finally I was able to
pay for credits but still wasn't able to send a post to an OTA. so I
contacted Paypal and submitted a dispute for a refund because I did not
receive anything after paying brainmass.com for the service. It is
pending right now. Additionally, I was not able to find any kind of
contact information on the website for this company. This definitely
feels like a scam.
