This company engages in deceptive practices with their free trial and takes a hard stance on cancellation and renewal policies. It is not worth any risk doing buisiness with this company. There are many other on-line sites that provide this service that are far more legitimate. I tried to cancel my subscription the day of and the day after and because it went through the day after they charged me and were completely unwilling to negotiate any kind of cancellation even when I told them I really needed that money to pay bills. They are cruel and heartless and couldn't care less about you. All they want is your money. Businesses don't have to treat customers that way and any that do should be flagged and customers warned.
I was browsing through a file on Internet, I came across vsnl.nl which asked me to sign up for 15 days free demo, for which it asked me credit card details, I signed up but could never login, after 15 days 99*euros deducted from my PayPal account for one year subscription, now again trying to login, not able to. This is a fraud
I subscribed to the trial subscription. They were supposed to grant me access to the trial subscription, to download eBooks and files, but they only sent me the access data to the trial subscription when the trial period was nearly exhausted. This prevented me from assessing or evaluating the quality of their services. Their subscription requires that automatically I be charged for a "discounted" subscriptio for a full year. The contact information requires that I make a non-toll-free phone number in the USA or Britain from Europe or another phone that does not reply. Anyone can understand that I will not make such a phone within limited working hours at USA CET which would force me to stay awake at early hours here in Italy to be told that there are too many enquiries and that I have to wait on line to have them listen to my request. Furthermore, they claim that their support email address is a NON-REPLY address.
These clowns state that they have an excellent usenet service, of which there are in fact many. These guys, however, are not.
While they may, in fact, provide some limited usenet access, it is most likely designed to prevent them from being charged with criminal fraud.
Their hook is a 14day free trial period. Problem is, they automatically sign you up for a one year period after your free trial is over, for $95.usd and there is no obvious way to cancel. More on that later.
The issue here, is the extremely limited service. What few groupd they do offer, have a maximum retention rate of 200 days. they don't mention that before hand. ALL legitimate usenet providers provide well over 2000 days retention. Worse, their servers can only be accessed by their own software.
What I did, subsequent to discovering that they were a total scam,(which occured less than 5 minutes after signing up) was to call paypal directly to ask that this company never be allowed to access any funds from my account. I also reported that they are likely fraud artists. Paypal has blocked them from accessing any funds from my account, and sent me an email to confirm.
tried the trial and was sent an e mail stating I was being charged a fee of $99.00 effective the next day. I responded the same day to cancel the trial. Only to find out I had to go to another e mail listing to cancel.
The original e mail was from a non-response server, so one day late and they are comitted to keeping my money... POOR POOR Customer service!!! Do not join or take out the trial membership!!!
