Hi everyone
I know this is something different from what you guys post in here but i thought of just giving you a friendly alert about it so that you guys avoid the rip off i 've been into. I've joined Lets Wrestle Girls ... Real Girls Submission Wrestling ... No Fake ... No Fantasy ... Only Real Action !!! and also paid a full membership to download the 5 video clips that i could see as preview (photos). When i paid however i could only download 3 videos the other two i was getting the message ' no more downloads' and i was wondering how come ? since i haven't downloaded at all these two clips. I ve send 3 messages to the owner- they have this Contact Us section but now its been one weekl and i haven't received any email or message back. Just ignorance but on the other hand since they got my money why would they bother to answer? I won't be ever visiting them again since they only care about getting our money |

Don't know what they charged you, but I have 2 checking accounts at
my bank with two different debit cards. I have my primary account for my major trustworthy activity, which is where my main funds are located, and my secondary account, which I keep from 5 cents to 99 cents, until I make an internet purchase. I then transfer the necessary funds from my primary to my secondary(internet account) and make my purchase from my secondary. In your case, what you should do is go immediately to your bank, file a report, and most of the time your bank is capable of retrieving those funds for you. Depending on the bank, you may have to change your account number, and at least wait for them to send you a new debit card. As for myself, I only keep less than $ 1.00 in my internet account anyway, and even if I do have to get another debit card on my internet (secondary) account, I still have my primary account debit card that I can use while I wait for my new secondary debit card. Inconvenience is almost thoroughly avoided. More than likely, your bank will be able to get you a full refund by you filling out a form. Two accounts give you greater flexibility and less inconvenience in such a situation. It even beats paypal.

Just checked that website and they appear to
exist and may be just a hard one on one contact. I don't see why your bank shouldn't be able to get your money back if you feel you were ripped off. The company may be a little irate or maybe not but they will probably cooperate, especially if they did send something and it's not a fake company.

Paypal looks like a happy medium between merchant and consumer but they don't really try to get your money back. Paypal is actually more beneficial to the merchant than the consumer. Your bank will generally fight harder to get your money back than paypal. Merchants love paypal because the funds are right there. Secondary debit card favors the consumer because if there is only 69 cents in the account after purchase, then no further purchases are available beyond that 69 cents. On the other hand, paypal will continue to take funds from your primary account to fit the merchants needs unless you stop them. Just because there is nothing in your paypal account doesn't mean there has to be to make a purchase. Paypal will go to your primary account, say $11,000.00 and make the purchase. They'll assume you authorized this and they are saving you the hassle of transferring funds. Unfortunately, they also assume this on recurring payments that you weren't told about by the merchant. Eek! I've since stuck to the 2 checking account 69 cent procedure and have had no problems on the internet since. I have had a paypal account for years. They keep sending me emails asking me why I don't use them to make a purchase, but I am not in that much of a hurry to see the merchant gets his money right away if my secondary debit is good. I feel perfectly willing to make internet purchases if the merchant is willing to meet me halfway. Hope I've been helpful. |

I like Dlemay9's idea of a secondary acct. I'd recommend the same particularly if you're going to join a site based overseas. Yours truly is still in the process of cleaning up from a bad attempt to hack my main checking account, most likely from info gleamed from that membership. Not to say that American based sites are necessarily better secured, but...

1. Make sure the device you are downloading to can support the memory or it's like downloading to your recycle bin. I've done that with flash drives! However! Flashdrives are also a godsend for showing videos or playing music because they are an electronic device as opposed to a mechanical device such as an external or your internal. I use my flash drives for playback and my externals for storage. Hope my external last longer than last time. Computer video really makes a hard drive work. Not streaming video, which only goes to your micro processor(an electronic device), nor video coming from a DVD, which also goes to your micro processor. Make sure you download your data to an external device other than drive C. Drive C is your workhorse of drives and is the most likely to go. If drive C fries, which is inevitable, your data fries as well. Data recovery is very expensive. Also. When I buy my externals, I buy them as a group of 4. All drives are given a copy of my data. What could happen, just check below choices. 1. I spend available money on a terra byte drive and it fries with all my data. I lose everything. 2. I spend available money on 4 drives that equal 1 terrabyte. One drive fails and I lose 1 terrabyte - 320 gig. I still have my other 3 drives and other copies of my data. Think I'll stick with option 2 because I don't have to repurchase my lady Rasslin vids! ![]() Even if your computer goes or you update with a new computer, all you have to do is connect your externals with all your music and rasslin videos to your new computer and all those religious conservatives that want all this stuff banned for religious purposes are left decimated! ![]() P. S. Just a hopefully helpful thought. Last edited by Dlemay9; 02-07-2011 at 10:34 PM. |

Redundancy is good!
Better to have multi-backups than just 1. By the by, today I got a reply from the overseas site. After I nearly had my bank acct. hacked I had to lose half a workday to go to the bank & straighten things out, call credit alert companies to put out a 90 day watch on anyone attempting to open credit lines in my name, etc. not the least of which was to deny the hacker's attempt to charge my checking acct. $2000! ![]() Well with suspicions in tow I contacted the site & told 'em to kill my membership. Unlike most sites we usually deal with, though, this is one of those sites who doesnt have its memberships handled by a company like ccbill.com. Its all in-house (a big red flag as far as I'm concerned now!) and to cancel a membership, you gotta e-mail this site. So the message from this particular site? "We'd love to cancel but since you contacted us too close to your renewal date, we were going to billl you for February...but our attempt to bill you was blocked by your bank!!!! Could you remove the block???" Mind you, I currently have a membership w/ DT (after all the DT samples posted on here, how could I not?? ) and it went thru fine! Now maybe this company's comps are compromised without their knowing so. Regardless, I don't care. I learned a VERY hard lesson from this experience. |
