!!!!! What??? Net Video Girls and Casting Couch HD are gone from the network here? That's terrible news and I fully agree with you that will cause a reduction in its score.
I'm glad I read your review because that would have been a nasty surprise the next time I joined.

My experience turned out like your - Bang stepped in quickly and solved the problem. They determined that a third party had hacked my previous account and took out a new membership. They cancelled that account and refunded the charges. I have to say that I'm pretty happy with the customer service they provided.
I hope that my issue is solved but since I'm tangled up with ECHST too it may not be over yet.
Good luck with getting your refund.

I think I may have spoken too soon when you reported problems with your Bang.com account. I seem to have the same problem now.

I'm glad to hear it worked out for you. Like you, I was pleasantly surprised at the high quality of service when I called to get these issues resolved. But I'm still sheepish about saying to a young woman on the phone that I have a problem with my membership at 'Tiny Schoolgirls Take It Up the Ass." :-(

That sounds different from the issue I've had a few times. Please let us know how you make out. Bang.com seems like a good corporate citizen and I recall that they bill through Epoch so you should be fine. The bigger issue is whether just your account got hacked or whether they got credit card information too. If the biller was Epoch my guess is that you CC information is secure.
Good luck!

I've had this problem occur several times on other sites. It hasn't happened to me at Bang.com, but I suspect the cause of it is the same as what has happened to me. I end up with some live chat membership with charges run up on it. According to the person I was dealing with on the phone what happened is that some unscrupulous person somewhere in the chain used your membership to set up a chat account that they then can chat with friends and family around the world on my dime. Each time it happened the person I dealt with figured it out quickly and a refund was offered. In none of the cases was my credit card information compromised. It was just the membership.
(Interestingly, it seems that staff are able to check the chat logs. One guys said to me that there was no way this was me chatting. I took that as a compliment... I guess.)

hey! that is a very strange situation - you only get charged at BANG LIVE (this is a streamate whitelabel that is done for bang.com) when you visit the site and subscribe.
It may very well be someone that guessed your access and logged in to bang.com with your account. We do get brute force attacked a lot, with people trying to get in using password lists they got from other sites.
Email us at support@bang.com , we'll make sure to investigate so we can see what happened, and refund the $40 you were charged.
PS: I'm not sure where you got the email supportteam@banglive.com , it's not an address that's being used for the support.

from lk2fireone:
Computers can make mistakes.
So the error message that a server is mis-configured could be worthless (I sometimes get that same mis-configured error message, and ignore it: sometimes I re-send my email, and it then goes through.)
Anyway, it might be that your account was hacked. That seems to be very common, about charges to cam shows that people never watched or requested.
Or, it could be a computer error, where your mouse flicked over some link, and that's why you are getting charged.
Or some other reason.
So, my advice, have patience, but not too much: Send a message to chat, or support, that you did not request the cam shows, did not watch them, and were billed in error.
I've never dealt with ECHST.
From what I've read (you can't put a lot of weight on internet reports about payment processors), they are far less responsive or reliable than CCBill or Epoch or Vendo.
Some of their agents can be rude with dealing with customers.
So, stand your ground.
Do not pay fraudulent charges.
If need be, if ECHST does not want to give a refund, call your credit card company, and protest the charges.
And, as a last resort, have your card cancelled, and be issued a new card account with your credit card company.
(That's if ECHST continues to make charges on your card.)

I have to confess that I joined Bang.com as a three-day upsell on another membership a few of times to get the original content. I really like a lot of their original stuff. I think I was on my third three-day membership when I 'discovered' their massive library on non-original stuff. I signed up for a full membership then. This is a great site. It's a great review too, as always!

This site quickly became one of my favorites. Although, I do have my reservations about them being a part of the Mind Geek group of sites. I don't want to say that the quality will slip because of this transition, but it's hard to ignore based on what I have seen from the other sites in the group. I know that I also may be alone in this opinion, but it's just that, an opinion.

I love the bang bus and dirty maid sites lol aways good. I was really disappointed when they were bought out by mindgeek but since they were sold they haven't been nowhere near as shady. Plus it's so much more easier to cancel now also. It still irks me to pay for downloads and then have to pay again to download 4k.

beware their 4k access billing scam. They make 4k access look like an addon to your current subscription, but it isn't. It is billed to a different entity. And if you don't buy 4k access the day you sign up for bb, the 4k access billing will continue after you fail to renew or if you cancel your bb membership. They do not disclose at all, that you must contact a second billing entity to cancel 4k access as well. Just another way for bb to keep ripping people off. And honestly, all the models, male and female, are all available at any other site. BB practices dishonest billing policies.

Coincidentally I was thinking of a BB rejoin since it has been a while. I'll join using a different computer and email address and see if I can get the same offer. Thanks for pointing this out.

I have to weigh in and say that this is one of the most informative reviews I've read in a long time. Admittedly, I've been thinking of taking the Bang Bros plunge again (I haven't been a member there for a few years because of their shady billing practices) and your review is really helpful.
Bang Bros is likely the one site that many of us would name where the site itself is excellent but the experience can be seriously dampened by the tactics the site uses to get more money from users without them even knowing.
Your tips in avoiding at least some of their crap will be useful for all readers.

Thanks for all the useful information. I do appreciate it. I agree that I'm probably pre-disposed to not liking the site because the models aren't what I normally look for, but even when I approach it objectively it has some serious flaws. The biggest annoyance is that the site is heavily reliant on ads. The price of your membership gets you access to a lot of porn, but also to a huge amount of advertising and upselling.
My membership turned out to have an unusual quirk too. TBP says that the trial is limited so I signed up for the full membership on May 30. That seemed fine until 10 minutes later when my bank called and said they had put a hold on my credit card because they were suspicious of the biller. I said everything was okay and they asked if there would be other charges through this biller and I said it wouold be just this once. This morning I tried to access Bang Bros and I can't download anything. Even the regular sites want me to 'upgrade.' I was about to contact support and when I was looking at the confirmation email it turns out I ended up with some sort of a one-day full trial membership. It was to rebill on the same day - May 30 - which seems weird. But... since I told my bank that this was a one-time thing they blocked the rebill so I no longer have access. That's the bad news. The good news is that I learned that I really don't like Bang Bros and I got off light with a $1.50 charge.
I only wish I could learn other lessons so inexpensively.
Again, thanks for taking the time to give me the information I was looking for.

Thanks for this exotics. These are the sites that are still available but there doesn't appear to be any ability to bundle any of them any more. There may be, but it isn't obvious. The fact that some of them are streaming only means I'll steer clear of them. One site I was thinking about paying for is pretty pricey and the reviews note that it hasn't updated in three years.
I'm really surprised at how middle-of-the-road this site is. The biggest thing I've noticed about the site (pat362 noted this as well) that the site is a tool to sell ads and ungrade. This happens on other sites too, but I've never had it so up-front.

Exotics - I just joined this site and have a question about the add-on packs. I can't see that there are any "packs" available, just individual add-on sites. And some of those can be very expensive. The site seems to have undergone a major re-work because the link from TBP takes me to a site that looks quite different from what the site looks like now, although I do have an option to go back to the old site look. I'd do that, but on the old site download managers don't seem to work even though they do for the same scene on the new site. Also, the old site seems to filter out scenes from the add-on sites but those are shown in the new site - with no warning that you can't download them. You might see a scene that you really want only to find when you click on it that you can't have it unless you pay an additional $20.
Anyway, all that to ask am I understanding you correctly when you say there were bundled add-on sites at one time? If so, those are either buried deep or not available anymore.
Overall, I'd have to say that I'm pretty underwhelmed by this network. I really expected better considering that they are so well known. I joined specifically for a new Tanner Mayes anal scene and in the WMV version the sound is completely screwed up. It seems to be in sync at the beginning but it gets out of whack throughout and by 3/4 the way through it has to be off by a minute or more. I'll try another version tomorrow.

Thanks for that info exotics4me
I'll leave it for a while then I thought it might be included but there is not enough material yet to warrant to pay extra or $25 just for that site alone.

I think the less English they know, the better. It sounds so much more natural when they are not shouting out the obvious all the time or swearing and things.
Of course it's different when they still won't stop speaking English when they obviously cannot, men especially. Someone should ball gag Rocco for change ;)
