I'm pleased that you got what you wanted, but I really don't understand your "I'm alright Jack" attitude.


Why aren't you outraged when an online business to which you have given your money and credit card details does not have the common courtesy to respond to customers enquiries/complaints?


It's not 'dwelling on negativity' to complain about not receiving what you have paid for.


You must see that the site has problems even though they did not affect you. You must also see that fixing/addressing these problems are also in your own interest, after all, you may not be so lucky next time.


Try putting yourself in other peoples shoes.


There's your answer right there...he's the "talented one", so that makes everything okay. disbelief


Not at all (for those who are disgruntled)...I just don't spend my money (on anything) that I would feel slighted (in advance)...I've been a Prince fam for many years...know how he is business wise...I spend what I want to get what I want...and got it. I've been to many Prince shows...not all were the greatest but I never walked away thinking "damn that was a waste of money"...don't believe in wasting time either so this is my last response on this matter.

Peace

For fuck's sake, when the site went live one of the zip files which contained music to download was corrupt. The create account screen accepted all kinds of characters for your password, but in reality it rejected most of them -- and cut the length of your password. Etcetera etcetera.

Those are typical bugs which would have been filtered out when proper requirements were agreed upon before starting the project and/or when a proper proven backend framework would have been used.
No, I am not saying all is bad but there's certainly room for improvement.

Sent an email to the correct address asking that my membership not be renewed.

Changed my credit card details this week.

Today, I get a call from my Bank ('Fraud' section would you believe?)that $77 has been debited from my account.

I reside in the UK, so my card is protected by Visa, and if nothing changes in the near future, they can attempt to claw the money back.

But I strongly advise you check your accounts, call your providers.

Lack of understanding for anyone who subscribed. I did not because I knew from the start it would end up that way. I may buy prince cds in stores, if they are worth the effort, but I surely won't ever subscribe a membership of his "internet business".

I had the same thing happen this morning with American Express. They declined the charge and I called them and to verify that the charge should have been declined. I told them that I have been trying to get through to customer service for some time to no avail.

Also, this morning I can't even get onto the website!!!!! I looked through my old emails and found the original subscription confirmation from a year ago and there is a link to "update your profile" that is also dead. What a joke!!!!!

hey marsy... i know it is usually not allowed, but maybe a thread in M&M and GD warning people who are LF members to check their bank account would be a good idea.

a lot of fraud happens because people don't read their summaries, and a lot of people don't come to this forum or remember that it has been a year.

And yes, as of this morning there is a black screen with a jellyfish that vanishes when you click on it.

Damn it! I sent an e-maill to the correct e-mail address saying I want to cancel my membership, and they still charged me 77 bucks. Now I go to the site, and it has that blue thing, then it disappears, then nothing! I don't care what you say, 77 bucks for this past year was a RIP-OFF! My credit card information wasn't even correct. It had my old address on it, and I have moved and changed my address on my card. How the Hell can they still charge it? I want my 77 bucks back for this year, and for the joke that the website has been for the past year. I've been a fan since '81, and what he does to his loyal fans and followers is a fricking joke. Blast me if you want, don't care.

I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS!!!!!

I've cancelled my membership to Lotusflow3R months ago. I even put in a false CC# and I noticed a pending charge for $77.

Prince is a fucking thief!!!
Jamie Starr is a thief... that bitch owes me $77.00!

Hey mods I agree, people need to be warned to check their CC statements.
Can u put anything on front page or rename this one? Can't believe they have the cheek to re charge and the website is dead. This is the end Mr Nelson? Hear me?
The end?

This is so incredibly fucked up. There was no point in changing my CC info. I should not have to call my bank to challenge a damn thing. disbelief

no charge on mine. yet. my original CC# had expired and was replaced with a new one. so I'm expecting I won't get another charge. but when it comes to separating money from his fans, Prince can be pretty crafty.....

Yeah, the card I used has since been replaced (reward-earning), so it has a different account number. So far, I have not be charged. I'm thinking of calling my bank anyway to be on the safe side.

This is totally fucked up, even for Prince.
The check. The string he dropped. The Mona Lisa. The musical notes taken out of a hat. The glass. The toy shotgun painting. The things he found. Therefore, everything seen–every object, that is, plus the process of looking at it–is a Duchamp.

Scott Addison Clay was just shocked that something went according to plan. This is actually the very first time that LF did what it said it was gonna do.

By the way, what the fuck did they think was going to happen when it clearly says on the site that it would auto-renew? rolleyes

Shame on them and shame on Prince. I bet I won't fall for the bait and switch again.

All - I have a statement from Prince and Scott on its way to me now and this will be posted on here later this evening.

Please don't shoot the messenger but Prince's team have been in touch and asked me to pass on a letter to all members of LF.com

Will be in touch later - again, please don't include me in the list of who's responsible for this mess !!
