Ok, I know that was the stupidest thing to do, but I did it. You know how those sites promise you stuff if you sign up for some offers and sh*t?

Well, I read that this guy (a real guy) got his xbox 360 in like 4 months after signing up for one of these things. He was like I just signed up for 4 offers which cost me like $12 and then I got my 360. He posted pics and the thing was believable. So I was like why not, I could do the same and wait a couple of months after canceling all this junk after the first month...well I was WRONG!!

I created a new email address and went to this SCAM site (supposedly it's legit, but may it burn in ****!):mad:

So yeah it all was ok and on the first page it said to pick one offer. I picked netflix since I've used it before and had no problems. Then on the next page, it said to pick 2 offers. So I picked the BMG music club thing which didn't seem that bad <------------- I really regret choosing that one, I regret the whole thing.

Stupidly I also picked the BMG dvd club which is the same crap.

Then I had to pick two more on the next page. All the offers were mainly web hosting sites, so you had to buy one of the yearly plans (for which I have no use) So in total it would've been like $150 just for one of them. And everything else was at least $50 and useless.

At this point I wanted to kill the computer I was using (not mine).
Then I immediately closed every page. Regretting my actions I decided to cancel everything. I know netflix is ok, I will cancel after a month (I picked the 9.99 plan it isn't so bad).
For the BMG crap I just learned that once you are in, there is no way out.

I'm so stupid!:mad:

SO FOR ALL OF YOU:

DO NOT EVER GO TO ANY OF THESE SITES. IT'S NOT WORTH IT.
DON'T BE AN IDIOT LIKE ME.
NO MATTER HOW GOOD IT LOOKS, WELL IT ISN'T!

sure theres no way out of the BMG stuff?

[ncjimn]

There probably is a way, it's just a pain in the ***.
And i think you can only cancel after a year!

here is some of the stuff i found, there are many more stories if you follow the link.

Tonya of Jacksonville, FL (8/4/05):
I signed up for BMG service last year and I have bought the required purchases to fulfill the contract. But when I tried to cancel the membership (by e-mail), they tell me I opened two accounts at the same time. Two accounts with the same address, same email, and the same name, so now they said I have two contracts to fulfill.

I had not heard from them since my inquiry about this bogus second account, but when I tried to sign onto my account using my screen name and password I am blocked. Now they have cut off my only means of communication with them.

Today another featured selection was sent to me automatically and I can�t sign on to reject it. I need to cancel this membership but can�t find a way to do it.

Yeah, a lot of the sites out there are either impossible to complete or a rip off to do.

- But there are a few that aren't. Me and PZERFOGH are pretty involved with one site where we've made a lot of money.
