I paid to join ea/pogo last year. After I joined I could never play chess, either I could not get into a room or it would stop working during a game. The whole thing might freeze up. I would ask for help and never receive an answer. I think for $39.99 a year one should get service for what you pay for. I quit trying to play on their web site and went else where. I completely forgot about pogo until I received my credit card bill today Aug, 2008 and there was another charge for $39.99. I never signed up for recurring charges and never left my card on their web site. The card was expired so should never have been used. I am going to turn them into the FTA and CA Attorney General s office unless I get my money back.
