I sent this to Forces War Records:
"Forces War record"
"Thanks for taking money from my credit card without Authorization.
The original “come-on” was “download forces war record for 99p”
After 10 days you would lose database access, if not renewed.
I did not agree to any TERMS to continue.
By default a profile was set up which included “auto renew my subscription” box.
By default this box was ticked.
Cash sums were illegally removed from my credit card.
I feel that I must warn other people of this [problem], especially Old Age Pensioners who try to find out about their war friends.
Unless you are street wise you will lose over £100 per year every year."
They make up your profile after giving them 99p for 1 download using a credit card.
Some time later you get a email saying your access will stop after 10days.
By default a box is ticked by them to say "automatic renew membership"
nearly £10 pounds is taken from your credit card every month.
By this time you have forgotten all about the site and think it's been cancelled.
Only checking Credit Card Statements reveal the deficit.
CPAs can be stopped by informing the bank, but stopping Forces Records may be a lot harder.
