How To Ensure A ‘Free' Internet Service Is Really Free

How To Ensure A ‘Free' Internet Service Is Really Free
-by Johnny Lee

As the owner of ISOpersonals.com, I receive letters every day asking me if my dating service is really free. Many people simply don't believe that we provide a free service.

They're right to be suspicious! There are dozens of web sites out there that claim to be free, but actually charge a fortune. They say things like: "For just $29.99, you can use our service completely free!"

How can it be free if you have to pay?

So to help net-users make sure they're using a web site that's truly free, we've prepared these essential tips:

·    Never give out your credit card number
No truly free site needs to know your credit number. To make sure you don't find yourself paying surprise charges, never reveal your credit card number, and never give a site your real address and phone number.

Anonymity is one of the bonuses of being online. Don't give it up lightly.

·    Never reveal your Social Security number
The only time you need to give a site your Social Security number is if they're paying you or you're paying them. A truly free service isn't going to do either.

·    Never give out your bank account details online
Don't ever let an Internet company charge directly to your bank account ¾ always use your credit cards. Your bank won't give you the same protection as your credit card company. When the money is withdrawn from your bank account, it's gone. The only time you should give out your bank account number is to pay your credit card bills and loans, or to invest online.

·    Watch your phone bills
Some streamline video services may bill you not through your credit card, but through your phone bill as if it were a 1-900 number. If you are watching a movie online make sure there are no hidden costs that could run to serious charges.

·    If you've been conned, call your credit card company
If you've used a paid service you may find you're still being charged even after you've canceled your membership. Don't get angry or send nasty emails. Don't even call them and have a big fight over the phone. You're just wasting your time and energy.

There is a simple and easy way to solve this problem. Just call your credit card company and tell them that it is an unauthorized charge. They'll remove it immediately. If this problem continues, tell your credit card company to change your credit card number.

ISOpersonals.com is a completely free online dating service and is supported solely by advertising and donations. We don't ask for your address, phone number, credit card number, or your social security number. So you have no fees to worry about and you can simply relax and enjoy our free service.

Have a safe, fun and love-filled Valentines Day!
