Last week, I was getting 3ds Max tutorial videos and files off of Fileserve and wanted to speed up the downloaded, so I clicked on premium membership and there was an option for a 1-day $4.99 membership(no word trial was used). On the next page I clicked again I was signing up for a 1-day membership with no use of the word "trial" anywhere.
When I clicked submit I was charged $4.99 and a $9.99 reoccuring monthly fee. I immediately looked in thier premium membership options, there were no options to cancel membership or anything like that. I then proceeded to send them email through thier contact information about the $9.99 charge. I waited 48 hours for a response, when none came, I opened a dispute on paypal.
I also did some research to see if anyone else had this same problem and found a ton of other people did too. Apparently fileserve does this 1-day membership scam for a couple days then edits the website when there is a dispute in paypal. When they defend the claim they say the $4.99 is part of a 2-day trial under thier "Terms of Use" and the $9.99 is the monthly fee after the trial.
Every scams story I read says that paypal always sides with Fileserve. I know it isn't much money, but is there a way to win my dispute?
