The Guru Refund

Have you recently been nailed by a guru after a year from leaving a particular program or service? i.e. Have you been charged for the same subscription after cancelling or even charged for things you never even purchased?

It's no surprise that the "bad" guru of the Internet world will pull no stops while snagging just a few more bucks from your wallet when times have turned 180 degress from what they originally planned to receive in monies due. It's not all the gurus who will pull this type of trick... obviously; the dishonest ones.

When it comes time to fight back, you can prepare yourself with enough knowledge and head straight to the local, state, and government agencies who will back you on your claims and investigations. Especially if there is fraud performed through the United States Postal systems for cross-state transports or sales.
