Sugar Daddy for Me?

My family and I were sitting and talking this afternoon - We got on the subject of dating and dating websites - and it brought back an unfortunate phone call that I still laugh about!

It was probably 5 years ago - or so - that my Sister in Law Jenny and myself were watching a show titled: "How Did You Get So Rich?" One of the guys on the show stated that he made his money after starting the website called "Sugar Daddy For Me" - so naturally we decided to check it out.

Well a couple years ago, after a bottle of wine, curiosity got the best of me again. I wanted to see if there were any gorgeous Sugar Daddy's in the area - who were waiting to meet me. I went back to the website and found that you can't search people - without being a member. I was in luck however, being you could have a 3 day Free Trail on the website! Winning!

I signed up - with all intensions to cancel my Free Trial before they charged me. This is where things got tricky ... I could not simply 'cancel' my account. I tried calling and emailing them multiple times, with absolutly NO luck. After googling what I should do - I found I was not the only one who was having/had this problem - and also found that the only way to 'cancel' my account would be to call the bank and have them not accept payment. Losing!

This single phone conversation was one of the most embarrassing phone conversations I have ever had. For those of you who do not know, I grew up in a small little unincorporated, you blink you miss it, town. It's the type of town where you know everyone - and their family! Well this town is also where I bank - so they know who I am.

I called into the bank and let them know I needed to cancel/stop a payment that I didn't want to come from my account.
Bank: "When is the payment supposed to come out - and how much is it for?"
Me: "It would be coming out tomorrow and it is 34.95"
Bank: "Who is the payment supposed to to go to"
Me: "Ahhh - well - it would be SD4ME.com"
Bank: "Ok and what is that company"
Me: "Ummm well - it's ah - Sugar Daddy For Me"
Bank: SILENT
Me: And ah - it's supposed to take out monthly - can you cancel any payments?
Bank: (Laughing) Ah OK Sarah, we got that taken care of for you!

I laugh at the situation now - but at the time it was rather humilitating!
