I canceled my "trial" subscription after about a week and a half, at least 2 weeks before the trial had ended. I received nothing from them ever! They continued to charge me each month, even though I canceled. When I called them, they said that I never canceled and refused to refund the money that they had charged. The guy I talked to said that were getting hits on my profile, so they were going to charge me. I told them that I would just deal with my bank and dispute the charges. He said that would wind up costing me more money. After a couple of weeks, I received e-mails from them stating that my profile had been viewed. He was supposed to have canceled the "subscription" effective the date we talked on the phone. I continued to get these e-mails, so I emailed him back and once again advised them to cancel the subscription. The bank blocked him from charging my credit card further, so today I received a letter from them demanding $259.96 because the bank refused to allow him to charge more fees. These people are CROOKED and they are not legitimate... do not use!
