I have tried 3 times now to cancel this subscription and they keep sending unwanted disks and billing my checking account $89.95 each month. They completely ignore each and every request. This is a scam, and I am going to report them to the Better Business Bureau and the FTC.

We ordered (and received) one program and they sent us another we did not order and charged our charge card $75.00. I called...they took off the order and then...sent us ANOTHER one we didn't order and charged us for that. We've been away for several months and haven't had time to do anything about that one. I don't think there have been any others since then. Don't use this company! There are instructional videos that are out there BY THE COMPANIES that create the programs..if you must learn this way instead of with the books...contact them instead. When this seemingly nice guy on the add says "buy my product"...he should add "so I can have your credit card information and rip you off as many times as I can get away with"...it really seems like you just can not trust anyone or anything you see in ads any more! I've been researching all the "work at home" infomercials that I've been seeing (forever!) on t.v. as well...they are apparently ALL scams!!! Why do we even HAVE a "Consumer Protection Agency" if these companies can keep doing what they do to the public...year after year after year and they are STILL able to keep doing it??? The channels that are running these infomercials KNOW what they are doing...don't care (they can put their "we're not responsible" tag on the beginning and end of every ad)...all they want is the money from the person running the ad and the percentage they probably make off everything they sell! This website is a BLESSING...don't even want to contemplate how many MORE people would be out a LOT of money if it weren't for it being here. THANK YOU SO VERY, VERY MUCH!

I been looking on the internet trying to find a good system to make money in. I got the system hoping it would be different from what i had tried before. They charged me the shipping fees and turned around and charged me $89.00. Then kept charging me. I had to close my bank account because of it. It was a bad decision all together. I hope there is something i can do to make extra money and not have to go through this again.

I orderd the learn e-bay for a trial, and found it contained nothing that a first time visitor to ebay would not know how to use. Then without any notice I received Online Investing and my charge card was charged $90.00 can you believe $90.00. I never opened it I sent it back immediately with return to sender and , but as of today I have not been issued a credit back on my charge account. Today I received another one photoshop, I contact the company, I sent a letter to the president of the company and had to go to my bank to stop any furture payment from this company. Iam so furrious that they would send me items and charge me for them without permission. I did not order them and do not want them. What a SCAM.

It's a shame that Video Professor uses such tactics. They have a great product but their price and marketing techniques are shameful. I dealt with them many years ago before they went to the automatic every month format. They could sell many of their products at $30-$40 without forcing other videos/cd's on people who don't need or want to bothered by them. I reviewed some of the positive comments and obviously these are submitted by AMWAY distributers because these people are just as gullable in nature. They fail to acknowledge the underhanded misleading information that is obviously obscured unless using a magnifying glass. The POWERPOINT program being offered doesn't even seem to be up to date with the times as there is no mention of incorporating videos into a presentation in the lesson plan. This product has great potential but is being usurped by it's owner/president of the company.

I too purchased the video professor for free with the "$6.95 ONLY shipping fee". Hold onto your wallets because the too stuck me with the $89.95 fee. I haven't even gotten a chance to use it yet. I hope they are happy with my money because they will never get another dime from me and I will tell as many people that I can that the Video professor is a thief.

I liked the $6.95 discs they were very informative until my checking account was overdrawn because they sent the next set for $89.95. Do you know how I can get my money back? Please e-mail me and let me know. I am very upset, because they never told me that they were going to send me more...Christina

Video Proffessor is absolutely ridiculous. I ordered the "Free" Cd and was told I only had to pay for shipping. What a lie, I was just charged $89.99 without being told about it and some other disc I never ordered was just sent to me. I want my money back!

I'll keep it short. I tried the free CD thing just for kicks. I looked all over the site for a "catch" to the two free CD's and I didn't find one. Please keep in mind my entire life at this point is paying attention to details, and I saw nothing under the free trial CD advertisement telling me the full truth of the scam. Anyway, so I receive my CD's promptly in the mail. On the cover it says I got 2 free CD's. I open the box and there are 3 CD's inside. Huh? So, I start poking around. On the back of the shipping label there is a tiny box that says the following: Video Professor Return Policy<br />
The review lesson you requested comes to you on a free 10-day trial. An additional 20-day grace period is given to allow receipt of any review lessons consumers had no intended to keep.<br />
However, because our product can be subjected to piracy, any product received after 30 days without a reasonable explanation will not be accepted. So, they DO tell you you've got to return the product if you don't want to be charged, but, its definitely hidden. In addition, nowhere did I find any notice that this was part of a subscription package! I'm sure they snuck that in there somewhere impossible to find so that they can dig themselves out of legal holes, however, I'm absolutely 100% convinced that this is a huge scam and I'd love to see them put out of business for this kind of junk. This is absolutely ridiculous. On a side note their call service providers are good, but that's not enough of a redeeming quality to nullify the extremely deceitful operation they're running.

A few months ago I purchased a program from Video Professor. Now I am being sent a new program (at $80 a throw) every month. That company's policy is to automatically sign its costumers up to receive a monthly program without informing them. This policy defies logic and common sense.

I purchased Front Page from Video Professor which I thought I paid too much. Now about 6 weeks later I get another set of cd'c I nevcer requested. This is a huge scam, and I wish we could educate people to it.

My mother in law received 4 DVDs in the mail today, and has been charged 79.95 for the second month in a row, for VP products that she has never ordered. Her computer has been out of order for months, and she has not had internet access. We have no idea how they obtained her personal info. When she called the phone company, they had no number listed in Denver, CO for VP. She is, as we speak, calling the phone numbers listed here (we couldn't find them anywhere else), cancelling any further payments to her credit card, and trying to get back her money. As a senior citizen on a fixed income, she cannot afford this scam and after reading all these web pages, I don't understand why these people aren't shut down for fraud. It's an outrage.

I used to work for a telemarketing company for about a year. During the course of that year I was moved to the Spanish speaking Video Professor department. Basically when costumers would call for anything and I mean anything for AOL they would redirect them to us, where we would offer them this product. The pitch was that they paid shipping and handling for 3 Cd's and they would keep two send one back and would be charged only shipping and handling. If they decided to keep them they would be charged 89.99 and receive a free digital camera. First of all they gave us the camera one time as a example of what our customers would receive and the thing was a piece of crap. I think it had somewhere along the lines of 300 x300 pixel resolution. It felt and looked like it was made in China for about 2 dollars. Secondly, most Spanish speaking customers were really friendly and naive, I would say because of their culture, perfect victims for the predators that Video Professor is, so they would hardly deny the offer. Included in the package was the instructions to send back the CD, but first they needed a "confirmation number" for receipt purposes I'm guessing. But here was the problem Video Professor didn't even have a Spanish speaking costumer service just a bogus answer machine asking them to leave their name and number where a "representative" would get back to them. Of course they would never receive a call back and I would hear about customers actually taking the day off from work to call them back all day to try to get through to someone. I couldn't believe that this could be actually happening and one day I decided to call them and find out for myself... I did so for a week straight and of course never got a reply. I eventually quit that job one day from feeling ashamed that I had helped scam all these poor people of hundreds of dollars. VP is a scam and on top of that the CD's are worthless most of them wouldn't even work and were blank they just had a semi-fancy cover imprinted on them. I hope that guy goes to jail and gets what he deserves one day.

Some things never change... Over 10 years ago, I was in the same situation that "10/5/2007 - John" was in (VHS tapes at that time). I ended up mailing the Better Business Bureau, and believe it or not, they helped me resolve the issue. VP sent me a letter of apology and refunded my credit card. Video Professor is not to be trusted, IMHO.

I called for the "free" Video Professor's Adobe Photoshop" training video, and agreed to pay shipping charges (ONLY!) of $6.95. I did not authorize ANY other charge to my credit card other than the $6.95 for shipping & handling. Actually, I was told the shipping/handling charges would be $6.95 or less. I specifically asked the woman who took my order if I would be charged ANYTHING above the $6.95, and was told "absolutely not". Nevertheless, less than 4 days later, I was charged $86.90. No explanations, and not even any references to WHAT I was charged the $86.90 for! Additrionally, I have received NOTHING for the $6.95 I also paid for the "free" program. Totally: $93.85 - And to this day, they have refused to refund this sum, despite my numerous requests. Now, over 4 months have elapsed, and I have received NOTHING from Video Professor whatsoever...even the "free" training CD or whatever it is I am supposed to receive. My emails, telephone calls, etc. are ignored. I have heard not one word from Video Professor. I should mention that I am a volunteer Consumer Mediator with the Maine Attorney General's Consumer Information & Protection Division.

At the first of the year I ordered one of their software for $1.00. They stated that I would not be charged any additional charges because I asked before I ordered the software. I used my debit card. The next month and three months after that I kept getting overdrawn. I called Video Professor numerous times but to no avail. I finally had to go my bank, close my account, get a new Debit card and file a Unauthorized Transaction for each charge of $75 and up dollars for software that I did not order or get. Nor did I want any additonal. They are the scum of the earth, crawling vermon. I hope and pray that they get all that is coming to them. None of which is good.

If you read the "Defenses" of Video Professor you'll see that there a total of 21. Of those 21, 15 are posted by representatives of this company. Not only does the VP resort to SPAM, but it appears that it's desperate.

I sent for vido proefessor's free disk, and after it was delivered I was told that I was on automatic delivery of a variety of cds I did not need or want and said they would charge my credit card accordingly. I had to talk myself blue in the face to get them to agree not to send me anyhthing or charge my card for more purchases I did not make. I have since learned how to protect myself from this rape of my credit cards. []

I will NEVER recommend this product to anyone! Buy something in the store to learn about computers! My account has gone into the negative because of this scam. They keep on deducting from my account WITHOUT authorization! This company should be put out of business! And by the way, the professor is an asshole
