Basically, I signed up for a free credit report, which I may access for 30 days. If I fail to cancel, my charge card would be charged the annual membership fee of $79.95. I attempted to cancel through the 1-800 number, which was practically impossible therefor; I opted to use the email cancellation process you mention on the recording. I did cancel within the 30 days, July 18th to be exact. However, the company deliberately processed my cancellation notice 9 days later, which was after the 30-day trial period.
Here is a copy of my email:

They sent me a reply on 7/26 telling me they were processing it. 8 days after I had notified them. I called my bank and my account had been charged the previous night.
A HUGE SCAM!
