Dating Website Scam: Silent Endless Billing

Post by **danchatka** » April 21, 2013, 10:59 am

Some dating web sites use silent recurring billing to extract as much money as possible from customers. ThaiFriendly.com does this. They mention their recurring billing only when you first sign up. After that, you will never see any mention of it on your account management page. They also, never send an email when they bill you.

Businesses like this, that try hide their endless billing (whether or not you continue to use their site) should be avoided.

I tried ThaiFriendly and found their site so difficult to navigate and use, that I quit using it. But they kept billing me for a year anyway. Reputable dating web sites, like ThaiLoveLinks.com, do not do recurring billing.

If you ever used ThaiFriendly, you may want to check your credit card statements to make sure they're not still billing you. They bill quarterly.

Whenever I buy anything on the net, I use one-time-cardnumbers so they cannot be rebilled. Check with your bank if they have that possibility for your card.

Well Date in Asia is free, or was when i last used it sometime ago (unless you want the deluxe service). You just need to tailor your profile to cut back the number of non-thais contacting you. Just ignore the rest. Then sift, sift, the contacts to get some good ones

I've got insurance on my VISA card. If money has been transferred from my account which I don't know anything about, and I notice and mention it to the credit card company within three weeks, I will get my money back (free of charge).

Yes this would be normal..............If you young Jack the lad.
Most of us are old buggers.Although easy chat up a young bird here, Its Just not so easy when, if you walk down the street in farangland, and smile at a young bird, and she looks at you like your some kind of pervert!
Case of losing ones confidence.
Baring in mind, when a Thai female smiles at you in Thailand,Dont necessary mean they fancy you.
They just think Ahh! Farang can take care me.
Dating Agency same same.............money
