Video Blocks Deceptive Practices Reston, Virginia

This company has assembled stock media assets that are clearly low cost leftovers from legitimate companies. They offer 7 Days of Free Downloads to entice you, stating that it is "Completely FREE with NO OBLIGATION to pay anything" (Their exact wording). However, if you don't cancel after 7 days you will be billed $79/mo. If you decide to cancel early, the bill is not pro-rated. They will not send you an invoice because this would remind you that you're paying for something that you aren't using. If you call customer support they are unapologetic and remind you of the fine print that you should have read. Beware of this scam!

I also had a very bad experience with them and the company creativecow.net is also promoting this company, it is a sad thing when we are not protected from these alleged vultures, and alleged scams such as this, I tried out the trial and was unable to download anything, the server they used was really slow, I tried to download a 300 mb file, (got 700K of a 300MB file) then gave up cancelled the download and when I asked for a refund, they said, well you attempted to download a file so we have to charge you 39 dollars for that attempt, I am like really that is the kind of business your doing here. Stay away from these people they are allegedly a scam designed to prolong a users ability to download files, (thus limiting you from ever getting any real delivery of a product (allegedly) Report this company to the FTC, for deceptive practices, report them to the BBB, report them to the Attorney general of Virginia.
