I am just another unfortunate victim that has been scammed by the Wild Tangent company. I was lead to believe that I was only buying a month’s worth of “Wild Coins” for my son, who likes to play the online games offered by Wild Tangent. But that, as it turned out, was not the case.

I has lectured my son about buying things on the internet, taught him to be wary and avoid and commitments to buy a 6 month or 12 month supply of something, etc, etc. Yet here we are, certain we were only buying one month’s worth of product when it turns out we had been signed up for a whole year!

I didn’t find this out until the following month when I was charged again for another batch of “Wild Coins”. I called the company immediately and tried to cancel, and they told me I had a remaining balance of $69.99 for 11 more months! I was outraged.

Since Wild Tangent wont do anything about this, I filed for dispute with my bank and reported my credit card as stolen. The whole thing was totally ridiculous. Someday someone is going to give scamming companies like Wild Tangent the punishment they deserve.

Same thing happened to me - and I am generally pretty savvy about terms and conditions. I though I was purchasing a single game, but somehow ended up on a monthly contract with them as well. I had to file official disputes as well in order to get it canceled because they claimed I would owe them additional cancellation fees.
