=======================

www.tickle.com

Previously known as emode.com?

I made the mistake of taking and paying for an IQ test a while back. I paid 
$15 or $20 for a detailed report and thought that was that. But from May 
2004 through Feb 2005 my credit card has been billed for a subscription 
service that I never subscribed to, with total fees charged $129.50

This is a scam, nothing less. Now known as 'Tickle.com' this is a classic 
case of hidden charges. I bought and paid for the test results, nothing more.

I called customer service and spoke with a person who was 'authorized to 
refund 3 months of subscription fees' so I have now been refunded $38.50, a 
reasonable start but certainly not a full correction to the problem. My 
problem has been 'escalated to the Finance Dept' and supposedly they will 
call me to follow up.

If I am refunded all but the agreed-upon fee for the test results I will be 
satisfied. Anything less is unacceptable.

========================

Presumably Craig wasn't smart enough to do the cancel jig everyone else is 
talking about, but this is all a tad... dubious... no?
