From “sign up” to “can’t delete” to “Payment disputed” in under 24 hrs
in the market for data about remote work and travel. came across this site late one evening that was promoting a 1-time membership fee of $200, that was amazingly discounted at 50% off! Signed up, went to sleep. By this afternoon, I have over 50 emails from the NL AI bot (i guess) - every hour on the hour, an assessment that my profile photo was “too blurry” and i need to update it. went to use the site, changes settings, etc, and experienced interface issues and broken links and a never ending loop of being sent back to my profile page after clicking any of the links. i suspect this is because i didn’t set up the 3rd party software for messaging (which apparently won’t work for NL on the web specifically? suspicious) i could find NO information about refunds except one sentence in the FAQ i skimmed through- essentially saying that because the account was not subject to a 14 day trial period on their end, the user would NEVER be entitled to a refund! the rest of the language was wildly problematic in my opinion - ALL essentially stating that they take NO liability and that they can use anything posted to the site in perpetuity? There was also no phone number, no support email to contact and while there is one option buried in the FAQs to “delete account,” THE BUTTON IS BROKEN. the account cannot be deleted? at least not on the user end? I supposedly should not be able to access the account anymore, but was rerouted directly to my profile page every time i clicked “delete account”. i’ve disputed the transaction with my bank, and made the account as much of a “Nomad List is a Scam” billboard as i possibly could. The AI bots asked me to change the new language LOL
