who are they and what do they want?

PLEASE CLOSE YOUR ACCOUNT NOW. THEY WILL CONTINUE TO BILL UR ACCOUNT AFTER CANCELATIONS. CALL YOUR CONGRESSMEN AND ATTORNEY GENRAL ABOUT THESE PEOPLE. TELL UR CREDIT CARD COMPANY THEY YOU PAY THE BILL AND IF THEY DONT DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. YOU WILL CALL ON THEM TOO.   CLOSE YOUR ACCOUNT NOW... BIG TIME RIP OFF.

thank goodness for all this info!  I too had this charged and when i called the # they cancaled my account and said they would reimberse my $9.21.  I just did it now so we will see if i get it back.  Thanks for the help though!

Beware the Google Libray Kit advertised to help you statrt making money online!!!  ... my wife tried to sign up here using my credit card as it is for $1.97, then after 2 days i look my credit card details found out that they billed me $77.83 for something we didn't even buy, then there is another bill from 'DIRECT INVESTOR NEWS L 888-674-6805' which i do not have an idea what is about?

Unknown Direct Business News Charge:  Beware the Google Libray Kit advertised to help you statrt making money online!!!  ...it comes with exta hidden charges from Direct Business News.  Thanks for the earlier comments you folks posted.  It was very helpful in determining what happened to me with a mysterious $9.21 charge. Your comments about them being polite helped set the tone of my conversation and i was able to politely decline their service.  Their Customer Service Number is listed above.  Give them a call and request more info about your charge and politely ask them to remove it.  You may want to kill the Google Library Kit as well... They sneak charges in on folks so you probably don't want to do busuiness with them.

WHY WE LET THIS HAPPENED TO EVERY BODY?
WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
THEY JUST CHARGE ME ON MY CREDIT CARD ACCOUNT FOR THE AMOUNT OF
$14.95 ON 12/03/09 FOR NO REASON.
EVEN YOU CALL THE BANK, THEY DOESN'T CARE. THEY JUST GIVE YOU THE NUMBER TO CALL TO FIND OUT WHY THEY CHARGE YOU.

WE MUST BRING THIS TO JUSTICE!

The same thing happend to me, I did everything i was suppose to, and my bank refuse to go any further

I just noticed that I was being charged for the last 6 months, I havent gotten anything in the mail regarding "Investment or realestate" magazines. Talked with Jake and he politely will refund my money.  Did you get your refund???

OMG, i got into the same SCAM, were you able to get your money back?

BE CAREFULL FOLKS!!!!!!! DON'T ORDER ANYTHING BY THE INTERNET JUST TO BE SAFE.

This is an add on to sites such as AOL Real Estate.  When you sign up they are tag alongs that you pay $1 for a free trial.  After the trial period is over they charge you.  When I called they said it was from Jan 27, 2008.  That's right 2008!!  The manager "Alisha" said that after the free trial I would get billed.  I asked "your free trial" is a year and two months?  She said no, that they are usually six months.  Hmmm, I asked then why haven't I been billed in the months of Jan, Feb, or Mar of this year?  No answer, but they said they "cancelled" my account and I should expect a refund in 5-10 business days.  Don't get me wrong they were polite and understood why I was upset and she said that is why they are lenient with refunds.  Basically I have to say "READ THE FINE PRINT!!"  They are tricky.
