I hope my posts are helpfull

My posting is about the advertisings for work from home posted as a links to all the major web sites like CNN.com, AOL.com, MSNBC.com, Yahoo, com... I assume that now a days you can find them everywhere on the Web. They have infested the Internet.

The usual scheme is that against a minimal amount $1.97 they will send you materials for work from home using the Google engine. The titles are endless but the pattern of the sites tells me that the source is one.

To subscribe you give your personal data and a Credit Card number of course.

There is very well written Disclaimer or Terms of Conditions. The developers of the scheme know that a lot of people will not read the fine prints or will not notice them or because of language barrier will not fully understand. And this is the way the scheme has been working for a very long time. My brief researach on the web shows that it has been going for at least two (2) years.

The subscriber ends up automatically subscribed to several "services" with monthly charges ranging from $7.75 to $79.95 until canceled. There is a grace period form two (2) to fourteen (14) days to cancel prior the 'contract' and the Credit card charges start.The cancellation is a painful and agrevating process. I spent half a day to individually unsubscribe all four (4) 'services' I had given permission to be enrolled.

I felt stupid but also I got 'educated' only with losses of $1.97 + $0.05 CC intrenationall transaction fee, the time I spent on the phone and whatever nerve cells I have lost.

Football tickets - I wish I had read this site 4 months ago. We ordered and paid for tickets in January to see the Liverpool/Blackburn game to be held this Saturday (11/4). The tickets were a birthday present for my son and he has been looking forward to the match and his first trip to Anfield ever since. We bought from this site as trying to get them from the Liverpool Ticket Office is a nightmare. We were promised the tickets 3-5 working days before the event - it is now 2 days before the event and there is no sign of the tickets. We have been phoning everyday - the call centre is a waste of time - no-one speaks English as their first language, they are rude and unhelpful and I have even had the phone put down on me! All they say is that the tickets will be here on Friday (which is a Bank Holiday and no post). They won't give us a tracking number and when you do call the tracking hotline it cuts you off! I will never use this site again and advise others not to.

Subpar Web/search/entertainment company - Hemoraging cash, employees, and search-market share to Google. This company has launched a series of radio and TV ads lately to combat the perception that it's not as good as google as they market the fact that they give you drop down suggestions as you type in your search. Of course, it's not at all clear that "search" is the primary function on the page anymore, as it looks more and more like an AOL smorgasbord of semi-relevant stuff to my life. And sure, there's myYahoo, but the iGoogle site is much more user friendly and customizable for my interests. The search though seems to return less relevant results still and continues to suffer with fewer users than Google. They've lost me.
