I really feel like I have been ripped off by CitySearch. I signed up for the service online with a $100 budget.

The next day my friendly City search rep calls me. He offered to reduce my per click charge from $1 per click to 30 cents per click if I agreed to increase my budget to $300 per month. I did not have $300 per month to spend on this however I thought if I had over 900 clicks I would probably be getting enough calls to pay for the advertising so oh why not.

Unfortunately what I feared happened. My first bill was ok. It came in at just under $100. Then the second month started and I was ironically just under $300 in clicks ($270). I then contacted my rep David Grumbs dgumbs@citysearch.com to cancel my account.

He didn't cancel the account and again this month I got a bill for $286.55 and they charged my credit card again. I think CitySearch is a scam. There is no way I got 900+ hits without a single phone call. Beware of these 'middle man' pay per click companyies.
