I've posted this same post in several areas of this site...(mods, please forgive my inexperience in this site...I'm just trying to help a few people out!)
I was able to get a full refund from the "rip off" site...here's a copy of my chat...maybe this will help someone...please note my conversation was very "matter of fact"...and I wasn't about to settle for anything less than a full refund...
It's important to remain "on course", and as frustrating as it is, you have to keep in mind that the person you're speaking to is simply doing a job that he/her hates anyway...so I'd strongy advise to not get angry or abusive with that person

ME - I'd like to cancel my 7 day free trial please
mena - what is the problem you are having?
ME - i wasn't impressed with the service
mena - why is that?
ME - well, to be honest, I was told I've been overcharged, and it's a free service...and I thought that before I proceeded with a dispute with my cc company, I'd just have you folks honor the 7 day no risk trial as advertised on the web site
mena - what were you looking for when you signed up?
ME - what information do you need from to cancel the charges?
ME - a reliable p2p download site
mena - that is what this is
ME - what information do you need from me to cancel...???
menabut that is what this is...
ME - I'm not here to argue, or debate...please, what information do you need from me to cancel...???
mena - but why would you want to cancel a service when it is what you are looking for?
ME - ...I'm asking that my cc NOT be charged
mena - Really! I apologize if you are not entirely satisfied with our services. What can I do today to be able to keep you as a customer?
ME - like I said, I'm not here to either debate, argue, answer any questions...other than what information do you need from me in order to cancel...???
ME - there's nothing you can do...although I appreciate the offer...now...what information do you need for me to have this canceled...???

ME - nope...
ME - I was charged $47
mena - There is a 9.95$ fee for the processing and handling that is not refundable.
ME - that wasn't information provided to me at the time of the charge...I've got the printed terms & conditions right here in front of me
ME - 47.29 $ USD...was charged...
mena - it was clearly stated in the terms and details and also in the details of the satisfaction guarantee, one which can be found in step 2 of the sign up process, the other in step 3
ME - and there's no mention on the terms and conditions ...I'm sitting here with all 3 pages I printed off at the time of the charge
mena - go back and see
ME - I don't have to...I've got it right here
