The first was when they mistakenly tried to bill my (empty) bank account instead of my credit card. In that case, all I could get from "Customer Support" was that "The system is completely automated, and there is nothing we can do". They advised me that I should go to the bank and transfer the money from my CC to the bank account (along with the $20. |

Checking out internet dates before the date and online scam artists (Apr 20 2004 13:56 GMT) - Hoping to ensure the quality angle are upstart businesses such as LookBetterOnline.com, an 8-month-old Los Angeles company that links daters with local professional photographers. The resulting head shots, which cost $129 and aim to walk the tightrope between oddball self-portrait and soft-focus silliness, can be posted on any online dating site and are accompanied by a logo that notes the month and year the photo was shot. Gold certification (an additional $20) adds age, height and weight while platinum status ($50) includes a criminal record, marital status and bankruptcy filing review.With all the wackos out there, and seemingly too many of them with computers and internet connections, I can understand how services like this are gaining some traction and I'm very |
