It's a shame really. That looked to be an interesting and informative source.

Of course if you bear in mind what has been said and do the monthly payment by direct debit then you can cancel it with your bank, by telephone and confirmed in writing, after a month. That way they can't take any more funds from you. Any that they do manage to take without your permission would be immediately refunded under the direct debit scheme guarantee.

With sites like this who are identified as potentially being a bit dodgy with money but still useful for research I think the thing to do is dot the i's, cross the t's and make sure you print out a copy of each and every agreement you make with them and any correspondence between you.

It could well be that they're just not very good at admin but are still a useful research site.

I'd try getting a few more opinions on the site too because sometimes rumours are started which aren't necessarily true but are designed to hurt a site because of something else which someone has disagreed with.

It's funny you mention that actually. Someone over on the GWF warned me off, firstly because he reckons it's not the fella I'm after and secondly it's not a great resource in the first place. Scant enough info etc.

If they're saying it at the GWF then I would take the hint seriously. There's a lot of very clever people over there.

Yep, that's the plan now. I'll talk to my mate tomorrow and let him know.
