192.com - be careful

Just a warning for anyone planning to use 192.com. You might (as I did) think you buy credits to view details not available for free users, not exactly. I'll quote their own customers services:
We do not offer free searches if you have credits on your account any longer. This was changed a few weeks ago.
When you enter a name and press search the credit is deducted from your account then.
So basically if your signed in (have credits in your account) & search, a credit will be deducted despite being able to do this for nothing if you don't have an account. So if anyone's planning to use 192.com, make sure you only sign in when you're viewing details.
Also watch out for other dubious ways they deduct credits. For example on a search result it'll say search telephone numbers, & deduct a credit even if it doesn't find any!
P.S. Hope this was the right place to post (sorry if it isn't).
