Learn To Buy Online Porn Safely This page is not intended to scare you away from buying a membeship to a porn site you find on the web. I am putting this page together, not only to encourage you to do so, but to help educate you on how to buy your membership without falling victim to the billing practices that have been used by adult site owners who feel the only way to make money is to charge your credit card for websites you never intended to join. Please continue reading if you want to learn how to buy porn site memberships without getting burned! 1. READ THE SIGN UP FORM PAGE VERY CAREFULLY Your first tactic will be to read the sign up form very carefully. Here is where they can sneak in the "bonus site" charges and if you are not paying attention, you will get slapped with site memberships to sites you never wanted to buy in the first place. This is usually done by placing the "extra charges" below the "sign up form" so it sometimes not in full view, you may have to scroll down using your browser. Otherwise, be certain to read the paragraphs and look for "pre-checked" access to other sites, as well as, "trials" which will expire and charge your credit card for over $30 per site...
2. LOOK FOR PRE-CHECKED BONUS ACCESS TO SITES This is perhaps the most important factor in not getting billed for something you didn't want. Notice both of the "bonus access" sites have been pre-checked, which means they've already been selected as what you want to buy, even though, you haven't clicked them. You can easily bypass this by unchecking them,... however, pay more attention to what the words say next to the prechecked offers. "This is a 2 day $1.00 trial, it will automatically renew at $34.97 per month until cancelled. Your credit card will be billed as..." The good news is, they at least tell you what your card will be billed as, but unfortunately, unless you really want access to that site, unless you uncheck it, you've just been tricked into a 2 day trial that will most likely not be cancelled within 2 days and you will get charged not only the $30 for the initial site, but a second $70 for the "bonus site," pushing your billed amount close to $100. Not cool. And this is why I am trying to help you get past this stuff... If I were you, I would avoid sites that use this type of practice in general, but if you really want to join the site you are viewing, I can understand the desire to push further and actually "join." However, if the site is doing sneaky things like this before you even join, how can you trust them with your credit card info after you are a full member? If you find a web site you want to join, and if you read the join page and scan it for any tricks and find none, you will be glad you viewed this page and educated yourself. Educating yourself is the first step. As I've said, there is no reason to be scared to buy online porn. Trial periods, by themselves, are not bad either! Some people want to check out a site for a couple days before buying full membership, that is ok! But when the charges are snuck in (you have to scroll down to see them) and if you don't cancel them you're hit with almost $100 of xxx memberships, it becomes not ok. As someone who has worked with adult web sites for over 10 years now, I promise you, not all xxx site owners are this way, and you can buy online porn safely without being hit with extra charges or sneaky trial cancellation methods of billing. - Fletch XXX |
