SURPRISE!! I recently signed onto a website as a new, first time, member. Before I even got to the membership/credit card page, a new page erupted before me with the news that I am now a member, and my card has been charged (the last 4 digits they gave me were correct!) How could they possibly have known all those things before hand? That is scary!! | |

Did you contact the site admins about this? And can you share the name of site to see if anyone else has had this issue? If it's part of a network of sites and you had been a member of another part of the network I guess it's plausable they stored your details but I'm not even sure that's legal (or what happened of course, just a guess).

Blimey this does sound scary, surely this isn't allowed, until you make that final decision on the sign up form they cannot charge you, I'd contact them or the payment company. Its bang out of line to do this and charge people when they have not agreed to anything yet. "Women are like tricks by sleight of hand, Which, to admire, we should not understand."

Yes that is scary, and it sounds like it is also illegal. The best case scenario is that you have sigend up through another site in the network or some affiliate. Not good news for porn at a time when legit sites are under pressure from free downloads. | |

Really scary! Which site? Have you signed up to another one in their network? If I were you I'd cancel your card company ASAP and get that card cancelled and dispute that charge. Tell them what happened. Then when you get a new card I'd stay clear of that and any affiliated sites. Also do a full virus scan on your computer just in case. It's true - porno sites bitch about free download sites but their customer care skills can be so poor they're not exactly encouraging people to join them fairly! | |

That same kind of thing happened to me once, too. Wish I could remember the name of the site. I even spent some time trying to find it in my history of sites joined, but none of the keywords I tried yielded a hit. The site was really sucky. That I remember. I managed to cancel without having to sharpen the quill and send a snail mail to the Land of the 1-Hour Incorporation. (You know. Delaware.) I wanted something new, so I left England for New England. | |

I hope we get the name of the site/network so that someone else can verify that info. I know that when I'm a member of a Kink site and I visit another and decide to join that site then they don't ask me to enter all my data again but simply charge my card. Now I don't know if this would be the same if I wasn't already a member of one of their other sites and I also don't know if this is the same thing if you use of of their secondary CC processor. I think that option is only available when you use Kink's own CC processor. Long live the Brown Coats. | |

I really feel bad for you, Shooter. It's enough to be jerked around by this elk of assholes by not honoring their commitments and initiating other stuff on your charges that you don't need or want -- but to be victimized by something as egregious as what you've discribed, is patiently amongst the worst that could happen. I hope you get to the bottom of this and get some recompense for your troubles. Please keep us informed with the details about who these assholes are and measures we can follow to avoid a simular fate. | |

Personally, I'd prefer that these kinds of things always sorted out via email, but ... As you saw fit to post here initially and get your fellow Users interested, then I'm guessing that posting the site name here (if it's site we list) would be what they prefer. Obviously, you're welcome to just email it to me if that's what you prefer (or if it's a site we don't list). I'm not sure what we'll be able to do about it either way but I'm betting our Editors would like to look into it further in case they need to note some shady business practices.
