    Hello everyone. I would like to let everyone in on a little secret. www.getflics.com is the worst Internet company on the planet. First, they secretly billed my credit card $59.40 after I canceled my 3-day free trial membership on the same exact day I signed up. Three days after I canceled, they decided to bill me $59.40 anyway. They then sent me a CD-ROM in the mail with their Getflics logo on it. The disc had nothing but freeware file-sharing software on it: iMesh, KazaA Lite, etc. I tried contacting Getflics' customer service department, through e-mail, because they don't have a phone number on their website. Shadey, huh? No one responded to me yet. This happened on Sunday, Feb. 8, 2004. I'm still trying to get my money back. It's a nightmare. On their website, it clearly states, in plain English, "Your credit card will not be billed a single penny if you cancel within the 3 days of the trial membership. What a crock. They said, on their website, your credit card number is required for "Age Verification" only. This is an evil Internet company and they must be stopped! I don't recommend signing up with these guys. I've already sent e-mails to every freeware file-sharing companies on the disc, and they're all furious. I've contacted the BBB, the Attorney General's Office, my local news stations, CNN and CNBC. On the Getflics CD-ROM, it states that they were on television, CNN and CNBC. Hmm? Last time I checked, freeware means FREE. If anyone has had experiences with www.getflics.com please respond! Thank you.

    I've just had a look at the Getflicks site, and any website that offers "Find & download ANY & EVERY Movie with Getflics exclusive Software!" has got to be a bit dodgy.
    Especialy if they class Divx with Vcd as the next best thing to Dvd.
    If you click on the search bar you are taken directly to the sign up page, stay well clear.
    Good luck getting you' money back.

    Thanks, man. I don't just want my money back. It's not about the money anymore. I want a simple apology for this nightmare I've been going through. Fraud. I asked them in an e-mail if they were men or boys. You see, a real MAN would admit he's done wrong by taking money from another MAN without him knowing. A BOY would be too damn scared to admit his wrong doings. These people are acting like kids and want to play this childish game. I don't play well with others. They will get what they deserve. I will see to that.
