I was looking for a friend's address to send a sympathy card and found half their address online. it was 192.com so I registered (as you do on any website or forum). They didn't ask for any payment or bank details so I assumed it was ok. I now cannot close the account so am I locked in ? I have sent them a message explaining that I don't want a paid subscription.
