I thoroughly agree with your comments. This sort of activity should be made illegal. TBP/PU should refuse to link to these people.

You're not the first person here to have this problem. I agree that PU shouldn't have anything to do with this site as they've ripped off several members here and would continue to do so if it weren't for warnings like yours. Definitely adding the site to my blacklist.

I have to ask you because I'm a current member of BB and I didn't encounter a single thing that you have mentioned. I'm sure I'm not the only person who's curious to know exactly how did you join the site?
Did you use the TBP/PU link and if you did then did you also get the 14.95$ price through Epoch? I know that I did because I wouldn't have joined for 29.95$.
Didn't you get an email confirmation with the relevant credit card info? I know I did and it was for the special 14,95$ price.
What other sites did you get signed up for if any? I know there was a ross-sell for a 3 day membership to dvd pack for 2.11$ which renews for at about 30$ but it was easy to see so I simply removed it prior to finishing my transaction.

Bangbros is a great site but....
Had that problem twice before. Once trying to check the price of the site from e-mail and the other when i was a member of the site and clicked some add on content to see if i can see a preview.
Both times i emailed them and they replied to me in less then 24 hrs. and said sorry and charges will be removed. Took like 3-5 days to get them reversed but they were as promised.
So in the end no harm, no foul for me and i am still a fan of site and joined again after that. Sorry you had to deal with a rep like that, but from the sounds of it the online tech support is way better then the ones over the phones.
I just wish they would have a system where you enter a pass code to confirm a new or add on purchase
Im still a BIG fan of the site (except for many, many, many ads and the one click and you joined a new site thing)

Good point about the pass code, but in these cases there is nothing to say you have signed up for anything. This makes it even more obvious they are trying to trick you. When you first sign up for a site you have to fill in a form and credit card details. You have a chance to review your purchase but the whole point of tricking people is to give them no chance to see that they are buying anything. Obvious trickery. There are no excuses for it. There are degrees of trickery, but at the end of the day it's all trickery, all disgusting, and all dishonest. We have to stop supporting these sort of people.

I did not join bangbros through this site, as I had read somewhere that the discount rate offered did not include all the sites in the bangbros network, that one had to join at the 29.95 price to get access to everything.
I did get an email confirmation for my initial purchase, the 2 sites that they billed me for without my knowledge I received no such confirmations, which further illustrates the deceptive nature of their business practices.
The other sites I got "signed up for" were college rules and dancing bear. I was "signed up" for these sites 5 days after I originally joined, so there is no chance in hell I missed some cross-sells before I completed my purchase.
I was completely surprised by the way bangbros does business now, I had been a member several years ago and did not encounter this nonsense.
I had no problem with the content, in fact the content is what caused me to join, however I have a huge problem with their underhanded methods of generating revenue, so if they were to suddenly announce they were going to post a video of Jessica Alba or Scarlett Johansson in a backroom facials episode, I still would never have anything to do with them again.

REPLY TO #6 - bettercallsaul :
Which CC processor did you use? Since you didn't go through TBP/PU then is it possible that it's the link you used that is at fault? My membership was activated through Epoch and they do an excellent job of sending email confirmation. Otherwise it's really hard to know what you are signed up to since you might not see that you activated a cross-sell membership by mistake.
I'd also like to add that I'm unaware of any type of full access membership to the full line of BB sites. Whenever it says access to the BB network then they only mean those sites that are under the BB banner. All their other so called BB sites are all stand alone.
P.S: I highly recommend that you always use the TBP/PU link for any future membership as this is how TBP makes it's money and they can be trusted to have updated info on most sites and when they don't then there's a good chance that PU does. It's also a lot easier reporting an error to the TBP/PU administrators so that they can verify ane report on the status of that error.

Agreed, both times that i accidentally signed up went through epoch or ccbiller and they sent me an email and that what gave me the heads up to send bangbros an email to cancel. (Epoch is the best online biller in my opinion.)
Also there is a deal for all the bangbros network plus the add-on sites but it isnt the 29.95 bettercallsaul signed up for because if it was he would of had access to dancing bear and college rules without the extra charges.
I only seen this deal once and it was when i was canceling the membership to bangbros and it had one of those wait are you sure you want to cancel? stay a member and get all the sites for 9.95 a month ads and i accepted.
Again still one of the better sites out there in my opinion

I have to say that I'm a huge fan of Epoch. There is never any bullshit with them and they are less prone to doing the Regional pricing.
