Tricks: Yep... read on...

This was the most disappointing program I came across. 

When I first signed up, the $77 sounded like it would give me access to all the tools I needed.  I was learning about PPC ads at that time.  After my payment went through, I was linked to a page that I could start learning the tools I would need.  I found video tutorials- which were great-- and found the site very easy to navigate through.

At that time, there was also an offer to upgrade for $67-- which would apparently give you the world.  I didn't want that, though... I just wanted to use the basic package.

Unfortunately, I had not yet set up a Google AdWords account, so I navigated away to go do that.  And when I went to find that page I'd been on before, it was nowhere to be found.  I had to email my confirmation email to get a link to the members page.  And when I got that link... what do you know?  I got  the ad offering me the upgrade!

I could not get back into the members page I had been in before.   Ever.

The "upgrade" now came up at $77, and was listed on Clickbank as "basic" so I'm not sure if they planned on charging me for the same thing again.  I got some cryptic answer when I emailed my question to them-- and I could never return to the page I had found so helpful when I first signed up.

I turned and ran... and am trying to get my money back.

It was this site that made Wealthy Affiliate so refreshing when I joined. These kind of tactics are what give the internet a bad name. It just felt scammy to me.
