Beware of beatssmart.com

Roger from Havelock North

This online retailer has a nasty wee trap for the unsuspecting shopper. My wife purchased a dress through beatsmart.com in January and then they put an additional USD$50 charge on our credit card at the end of Jan and every month since. Now I'll freely admit that I should check our credit card statements every month but clearly I haven't been but i will form now on. Anyway, it seems that purcasing one item through these ratbags, enrolls you in a club (somewhere in their terms and conditions) which entitles beatssmart.com to charge your card unless you cancel. Interestingly beatssmart never communicate with you or promote products to you as a "club member", they just take your money... and when challenged, they refuse to refund on the grounds that you have agreed to their BS scheme.
Please feel free to pass this warning on to others
