Wordze – Scammers, fraudsters, thieves!

Well this is a lesson learned:

“Don’t assume that the products that ‘well known affiliates’ support on their page, is good” – you can quote me on that.

About a couple months ago, I was looking at ways on how I can improve keyword researching. I found that I needed help in that area so I decided to research about it. Eventually I had a couple of options and Wordze was one of them. I went through their site, read reviews about them, and found out that a extremely well known affiliate was using them as well – a “super affiliate” too.

So I thought, “Ok if this guy is using it, then it must be good!” – classic thought process by me, such an idiot. On top of their credentials, they also had a “FREE 14-day trial” in which I can try the program for 14 days and if I don’t like it, I can cancel. If, however, I don’t cancel they’ll charge me $X amount (I think it was $40 dollars). So I knew what I was getting into, but I had full intention of canceling before the 14 days was up.

I tried the program, followed their horrible, horrible videos on how to use their site and I had to check the F.A.Qs because a lot of their supposed “features” (which were proprietary features) didn’t make any sense to me. Instead of actually producing videos or instructions on how to read the information given, they focused on “our program can do this” type of approach.

Constantly I was asking myself “What am I supposed to do with this info?”, “How can this help my campaign”, and the questions just kept pouring. Mind you, this happened in a span of a week, so I actually gave it a shot. If it wasn’t for that weak endorsement on that “super affiliates” page, I wouldn’t have gave it so many efforts on trying to make it work.

Eventually I gave up. I said forget it, I’m going to cancel this before they charge me. So I search on how to cancel my subscription and luckily they had an F.A.Q about it. It clearly states:

“Go to your ‘Account Management’, and click on ‘Cancel Subscription’ “.

To my surprise, my Account Management page didn’t have a “Cancel Subscription” button. So what I did was the next best thing, or so I thought; I emailed them requesting to cancel my subscription.

A week goes by and I notice that I’ve been charged $40 from Wordze. I was livid! I emailed again, and again, and again to cancel my subscription because I still didn’t have that stupid “Cancel Subscription” button. Still no response from anyone on their support team. Also, just to make this clear, they clearly state that in order to cancel the subscription, I would have to press the “Cancel Subscription” button, even if its through paypal, because if I just cancel through paypal “it will still be charged” (that’s directly from their site).

After weeks of not receiving an email, they’ve charged me again for another month. I should have called Better Business Bureau on their ass! Charged me twice! So I said “Forget this, I’m canceling through paypal, and if they charge me again, I’ll report it!”. Now I just have to wait to see if they do, it’s coming up so I’ll keep you guys informed.

So, lesson for today kids, do your own research and don’t follow what other affiliates support – except mine of course
