A worthwhile warning for some, no doubt!

I do not know why, but it seems the common practice for porn sites to charge a higher membership fee when you join through a trial offer than when you join directly without the trial.
But there is a similar type of unfair pricing for "legitimate" businesses. Newspapers, for example, will offer a lower subscription fee to non-subscribers than to subscribers. So instead of rewarding people who are "loyal" subscribers with lower rates, they offer the lower rates to non-members in the hope of increasing the number of members. The difference in pricing can be large.

Which billing companies does the site use? Why did you fear they were disreputable?

True, but at least those sources will state somewhere what the price you will be charged is. This site bills your card immediately.
Whoever does it, it is a dishonest practice and I would raise hell with a newspaper or other company that did the same.

It bills trough epgbill, however the actually transactions are processed by another company and for some reason a third company - jettis - sends the confirmation. They might be reputable, but I had never heard of any of them before...

I think I might have used jettis before, but I don't recall ever having seen the other two, and it just seemed weird to me that the billing was listed at 3 different locations - I've never seen that before.
