The "very large cancellation fee" is "3 months of the subscription fee", ie. 30 euros, if I got it right.


Where we live, EUR 30 buys dinner for two in a good (not 'posh' but good) restaurant, including drinks and tips. If you get no bang for your buck, as is the case with GeoWorkz, EUR 30 is a lot.

The fee is also kind of deceptive. You buy a monthly subscription that is not really monthly because there is no way you can pay for just a month or two.

I find that the entire concept of having to pay to get jobs and that of job bidding completely twisted. It's like new-age meat auctioning.

... where the meat offers price for itself to get sold?:)
What about paying for proz membership?


On proz you pay the intermediary, not the client. It is competely different.

TOPIC STARTER
account cancellation Jan 11

Hi all,

thank you a lot for your response. I got an answer from someone from GeoWorkz saying they had cancelled my account but I see it's still there. I assume they cannot charge my credit card without having its number... anyway, I'll prepare a written letter today.

Thanks again!

Anna
