I just got conned into signing up for this program that was supposed to be free for the first 14 days and then if you did not cancel it they would charge 49.95 for the first 30 days and then the same amount every 30 days thereout. I was also informed they had over 250 jobs in my 25 mile radius. This was also false. My card has already been charged 7.95 and it hasn't been 5 hours. There is maybe 15 jobs in a 50 mile radius and they only pay 5-10.00 per assignment! What a scam.....

Generally speaking, any of those sites that charge you a fee to join or a monthly membership fee are a scam. It's possible that the charge they made is just a temporary hold on your account to verify that the card you gave them was valid. I would monitor your bank account closely for the next several days. A temporary hold will usually just drop off of the account in two or three days. If it doesn't, and the charge posts to your account, you will need to contact your bank and initiate a chargeback on the transaction to get your money back. Make sure you cancel the trial membership before the 14 days are up so they do not continue charging your card.

Thanks! I did cancel and then they tried charging me another fee for some other service they offer. I had to call and cancel my card so as not to make my bills bounce or anything.

Nope I do not use these systems, now there are some legit ones but some you should not have to pay for. You will find legit ones where you will have to pay as well, but I am sure that it is not that much money. I am sorry that you got scammed that is so wrong of them to do that. I have to say though they have small print that has so much stuff in it that you cannot even read it, because it is too small. Yeah never use that again. I am sorry to here this.

Thank you very much. I will have to see if I can find any free ones but I've yet to have any luck on finding any in my area that are legit .
