MRA/Girls Gone Wild FRAUD! *UPDATE ..download GGW for free!FOX 6 investigative reporter John Mattes first broke the story how Girls Gone Wild was marketing videos for only $9.99 consumers found the company tacking on huge fees. Thousands of consumers called it a rip-off on ripoffreport. After our story aired an attorney sued calling it deceptive advertising. Video part 1 Video part 2
The only way to take care of this problem is to file official complaints at www.ftc.gov AND www.usps.com The more reports filed the better chance of action being taken. So you ordered some porno, who cares? Don't be embarrassed just help to put these people out of business.
