Default O/T I feel very annoyed re this scam!

Welsh Witch typed


I have for the last few days been watching an advertisement on TV from
"Friendsreunited" They say "free to search" elsewhere they say "free to
register"
.. I registered and duly wrote down various details which wws free.....
Then I tried to get to other places accessed by buttons. None of these
worked. Then up comes a notice that I must "upgrade" my membership by
paying £7-50 per half year. That is a very small sum of money...feeling
slightly miffed I did send my cc number as I had seen my first boyfriend's
name on the list....(NO I am not looking for another male partner!!) just
nosey thinking I'd like to know what had happened to everyone. I have just
seen the ad on again.Free to search...free to register it said! I would
have been quite happy if they had said "only £15 per year to register and
search"...quite happy but I feel this is deceitful just another to add to
the list of modern scams!

IMO the real scam is that they have sneakily upped their subs from £7.50
per year to £7.50 per half year.

This means it has trebled since I joined in 2002.
