So let me ask you guys this.
Say a person has a network of sites
person 1 signs up for a website within this network of sites, site A which is 24.95 a month. With an automatic checkedbox for a "trail membership" to website b for an additional 39.99 a month recurring 39.99 a month their after. Therefor paying a total of 65.00 a month
person 2 signs up for website A for 24.95 a month and website b (separately) for 24.95 a month, spending a total of 50.00 a month on the same 2 sites.
Person 1 and person 2 end up talking and realize the difference. Is it fraud?? Is it a charge back (through ccbill) waiting to happen? or is it just shit happens?  |
What you're talking about is a cross sale offer... this isn't the same thing. But to answer your question, if the xsale offer isn't spelled out, it's fraud. I think most people feel that's fraud.
What we're talking about is a trial membership that offers a very limited amount of content in the members area because it's a trial, they then upsell the member to the same site, for the full monthly rate.
