This thread is a good example of why I never enter into subscriptions or continuity programs unless I am able to quickly cancel if the need arises.

This means I never accept a merchant's card processing facility. Almost always I choose Paypal for subscription payments as they have an easy system that allows me to immediately cancel if I wish to do so. There is no need to send begging letters to the merchant in the hope he will receive and act on a cancellation request. If the merchant does not accept payment by Paypal, no matter how attractive the offer seems, I pass it up.

Yes, I know that I will from time to time miss out on some fine, legitimate products. I'm also spared a lot of time-consuming, stressful aggravation and the need to pursue money that was wasted on products and services that were worthless or of little value.

Without those distractions, I'm free to focus on projects that have shown to be more worthwhile. I prefer to quickly discard those things that don't work so I can pay more attention to the things that do.

Yah, hidden costs can definately be expected with most products. I just wished people would keep it at a decent price and not excalate the backend product cost so freakin high. This would give a lot of newbies starting out on the web a chance to launch off on their own and not be broke before even getting started.

SFS Cancellation Reasons/History

Note to SFS Support on 12/17

I want to cancel my membership ASAP. I request a confirmation indicating
that I will not be billed again for the Basic Membership and The Silver Package.

My reasons are as follows:

No valid response to Ticket ID: SEQ-493429. From my original membership
I had 2 Basic packages and 2 10K lead packages that were never broadcast.
If they had ever been broadcast where are the results?
For 40,000 leads I must have got a few hits.

My new membership was signed on 11/27 and my purchase of a Silver Package
was on 11/30. I have tracked the results of both packages and “hits” from
the Basic has averaged 2 per day and the Silver Package had averaged
26 per day but has dwindled to 13 per day.
There has been 4 trial signups, but I have no indication
which package generated the signups.

I received no response from Support, and toward the end of December
I sent a note requesting answers to all questions, but have never
received a response.

At the end of December I had accumulated 8 so-called trial members out of
about 700 clicks. By using a trick or two (signing up using another computer
and new ID), I determined that there are no such category as trial members
anymore, and that the 700 click total is actually exposures,
and the trial member total are actually clicks and not signups.
This in one month I got ZERO signups.

At December end I was billed again for the Basic Package.
The next day I cancelled my Credit card with the Card company,
and as a result SFS was not able to bill me again for the Silver Package.

My Credit Card company will soon be in the process of trying to
recover as much money as possible from SFS .
