I view and I search. Search the internet that is after watching these get rich quick gurus. I guess the scam is - to offer you anything with precieved value. Get you to come up off your credit card, and the bilk you for more (or frequently) than the original agreed amount. My question is: whats the point? As a merchant that takes credit cards, if a customer even whispers "dispute" the transaction is frozen and I don't have access to the money. If I don't settle things, my account is debted and I am out! (plus fees for the chargeback) Point is, there is now no way to keep the "scam" cash for any true length of tiime. Whats the point!? After the chargebacks and eventual severence from the credit card processor it seems like a whole lot of nothing for just that? Am I missing anything here?

Yes. Most people do not actually go through with asking for thier money back through money back offers when there is one. And most people do not even think of 'dispute'. Especially when it is a company that you did not deal with face-to-face. And even when people do...companies can drag this out so long that people get tired of even trying such a thing...much easier to just pay the bill and write it off to experience.Proof of such is in the very exsistance of all the programs you are watching. It's like all those book clubs and CD clubs that exist. Most people just pay for books or CD's that are sent to them...even if they don't usually want them because it's usually too much of an effort to just send them back. It;s just easier to pay and get it over with than to put forth any effort. And all these companies are banking on that...and usually winning. Most people don't have the financial sense that you obviously have.

100,000 customers x $200.00 charge=$20,000,000, x4%int=$80,000yr.Pay your customers back as more $$$$ comes in,no Better Business Bureau hassles.T V time costs more,but you get the idea...be a great on-line scam,for just a web page and a credit card machine.
