480199 2006-08-23 01:51:00 A month or so ago I signed up for a free trial with Real com. for their "Real Player"

I cancelled my "Free" trial after three days. My account with them shows it was cancelled.

Today I get my credit card bill and find out they have charged me for two months subscription. And they have charged me for something that I did not order. "Realgamepass" Never even heard of it.

I've been in touch with Mastercard and they are chasing it up

We'll see what happens.

I deliberatly avoid Ram files beacuase I hated to have it on my machine.

480202 2006-08-23 02:47:00 Yep, there is 'Realplayer alternative' that has none of the 'spyware'. I tried Real player once a long time ago and from memory it was a nasty piece of work :( Shortcircuit (1666)

How did they know your credit card number? Do you have to give them the card number before you can download their products?

480207 2006-08-23 07:25:00 last time I checked (a couple of years ago) they made it really hard to find the free version. They did however, make it really easy to find the free trial of the non-free version that required your credit card number to download. Greven (91)
480208 2006-08-23 07:45:00 why didn't you just call them about it? Slugger Elizabeth (11030)
