Warning about Experts Exchange (IT Professionals website)

[Deleted User]

Have had a nightmare with these recently. Total con artists.
They're a pretty well know subscription based forum for IT Pros.

Anyway, spoke to rep online chat last weekend. They offered me a deal for $19.95. So I signed up with credit card and the rep said ok all done for £19.95.

That was the first thing - I pointed out we'd agreed $19.95 not £19.95 and they said they thought it'd be more convenient since I was from UK. Yeh nice try its £6 or so more.

So they had to refund that and I agreed to $19.95. Checked my statement $109.95 taken. Straight back on refund again.

Latest one. Someone has used my credit card in a supermarket in California - where they're based. Too much of a co-incidenece!

Ring your bank, they should be able to sort this out.

BTW, I don't know anybody in IT that uses that forum. It's been a well known rip off for years and there are many (better) free forums and knowledge bases that you can use.

Or just learn how to use Google like most IT pros do

Thank you jpwjpw for your opinion on EE. Each to his own.

I agree its never worth the full subscription I agree but they offered me basically £2 a month.

And yes thank you I do know to use google. But for £2 a month my subscription is pretty much paid for before I take my coat off on the first monday of the month.

I'm surprised that anyone would pay for Experts Exchange.
Try Stack Overflow or any one of a number of IT & programming subreddits over at Reddit.com (e.g. /r/programming).

Yes its 'OK' and nothing more but like I said £2 a month is worth it IMHO for what I use it for.

I once visited that site for an ExpertSexChange, I was very disappointed.
