ICMwebsites Inquired about having a website, got billed for $139.95 after initial $2.97 In Shock! Internet

Thanks to Rip Off Report, I have received my refund. I doubt I would have gotten anywhere wiithout your services.  

As for ICM Websites and xyzwebsites.com, Internet users be aware of the way they do business.  It is too bad that there aren't more honest, upfront online businesses. I believe I connected to this one through an ad on Facebook or AOL.  Not sure, but be very careful about the advertising that you might see.  It appears that they do not review the businesses that post very thoroughly to block those that are not legitimate or are shady, to say the least.

Again, thank you Rip Off Report for your help.  I think I will continue to do my business the old fashioned way. 

I received the report that ICMWebsites was going to refund my money on May 21, 2010.  However as of this morning, the money is still not in my account.  So, I am hoping to see it there today, as they only gave me three days to consider their offer, I think my refund should also be back to me in three days.  According to the way they wrote the report, it makes it seem as though I already received it.  That is not the case, just for the records. I will post to you once I actually receive my refund, so you can place that on file.

In the interest of Customer Service, we have terminated this customers account and no further charges will be conducted on their account. This customer will also be provided a refund for the purchase, in the amount of $142.92.

After waiting for a representative for billing for about 20 minutes, I was told there was no options, either participate or cancel, NO Refunds.  I called back and was hung up on at the billing department.  So I called the technical department to be told the same thing and someone tried to walk me through starting the websites.  There was absolutely no option but to attempt to try to recoup my money through developing websites.  Then I found it not so easy to create sites.  Later, I found the "emails" sent that said I had the three days to cancel.  I had not been online for several days with internet/pc issues, and didn't expect to find the statement about the 3 days to cancel.  I did find the instructions I thought I was paying for ($2.97) which is what I thought I had bought, when I got off the phone with the representative.  So, scam #2, sent emails to say you will get charged more after 3 days. And, no refunds.  Either try the program or cancel and call it a wash.  Trying to set up the website is not as easy as they say.  Then I received a call around dinner time from a representative to see if I was doing okay with the program.  In our discussion, he let me know I am going to have to pay another $39.95 to get my websites out on the Internet to receive the exposure necessary to make any money.  Another hidden cost.  Scam #3.  I am wondering how many more charges they have lined up.  I know that after the 3 months, there is a $4.95 charge a month to continue - is that for one site or all that they offered?  I don't know.  Scam #4.  I have been in business successfully several times and am willing to work to achieve the goals necessary to suceed.  But, I do it up front, honestly, not with hidden costs and agendas as ICM seem to think are ok- buyer beware.  No, I am still not happy, and probably will not be able to regain my money, unless there is a suit filed. I still want my money back, but I really want to be sure others are not lead into this money grabbing company.
