Roomster Corp.

[redacted] is using [redacted] to post ads for rooms as if an individual is posting the ad. If you reply to the room ad, a response asking you to sign up for a paid website is generated. Ads should specify that this is a link to a roommate referral system. It is deceptive to post an ad as if an individual posted the ad with the intent to solicit business for a paid website.

customer complaint letter from [redacted].   Customer canceled the subscription after scheduled renewal took place. Had she canceled her subscription anytime BEFORE Friday, July **, 2017 as we state this on the Receipt and the Helpdesk message, all billing would have ended. [redacted]

[redacted]   We consider this matter is closed.

a refund was issued for the last subscription payment, which was authorized by the card holder. As a courtesy to you, we have refunded the last transaction of $29.95, even though you canceled your premium membership after the scheduled renewal took place. Thank you.

Revdex.com:
I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# [redacted], and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:

[redacted] and [redacted] are two usernames that I have encountered.[redacted]Please delete their accounts promptly. Doing this does not solve the problem though. There are cases in Texas, California, Chicago, and New York in addition to DC. There is not a small amount of postings either in these states. Claims of up to half of all the listings in mentioned areas have been roomster affiliates [1]. Most of my inquires in DC have been to roomster affiliates.Regarding the blame of affiliate actions, you take on that responsibility when you accept them as an affiliate. Simply stating that this is not your responsibility because it is your affiliates actions, not your own, and that you gave them a warning not to do it is incorrect. Your affiliates are an extension of your product and brand. Due to there being massive amounts of very detailed postings that are almost impossible to determine as fake on [redacted] locations across the United States, you are obviously not doing a good enough job enforcing your affiliate program's rules. A solution to this would be to 1) adopt and enforce a preventative policy against [redacted] posting rather than the current, ineffective, reactive one and 2) clean up the existing roomster postings that are currently on [redacted].[redacted]

There is a link to manage your subscription right on this page.” We have warned you on 3 different accessions but you still didn’t cancel your subscription on time. Had you canceled your subscription before Tuesday, July **, 2016 all future payments would have ended.

We would not send your information to a collection agency.

Sneaky membership renewal... no way to do business!!

I placed an ad on craigslist looking for housing. Immediately I got two email responses that directed me to a link for details of what they were offering. Both of these links took me to Roomster, which I could not get any information from apparently without signing up for a subscription even though there's supposedly a 72-hour free period. This was a waste of time. The responses did not even sound like they were offers appropriate for the situation sought in my add. I have actually had a roomster account before and did not get any benefit from it. I think they are somehow screening craigslist and trying to suck in CL users in a bait and switch.

Revdex.com:
I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# [redacted], and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:

My authorization for charges was limited to a 3-day period. The automatic renewal (which was billed as "3 Day Trial", and the lack of PayPal notifications about the charges (as other vendors do), is disingenuous.
