Review from Taunus-Oli on HideMyAss!
WARNING: criminal activity! never sign up for a contract with that company!!!
After signing up for the 12 month summer special for $58.88 i found out that this service offering is not worth spending a single cent! Instable connections, server connections lost within short connection times… INCREDIBLE POOR compared to competitors.
I asked for a refund…. BUT…. it seems to be their business model to lock users into their pre-paid contracts. They have good reasons for not giving users a chance to test their services for free, as everything is poor and unstable. Since today their OSX application is crashing frequently as well.
My request for refund got answered pointing to their REAL refund policy. There is NO first month money back guarantee as their marketing is attracting people to sign up for their pre-paid contracts!!!
Its bound to GB transfererred – this one I was compliant to – to get eligible fo the refund… BUT…
they state it is bound to 100 connections at maximum, which i over consumed…. not because I was willing to connect so often —- BUT because their unstable service required me to re-connect so often.
Be warned, for me its another life experience: Never spend money on things or services you never tested yourself. Don´t trust test reports of magazines, they are payed from marketing of the vendors. Never pre-pay before having a chance to test.
I will engage my lawyer to fight against such companies like HIDEMYASS.COM is one of the robbing and cheating companies to make money with users trust in something which is not there.
SAVE MONEY AND GO LOOKING SOMEWHERE ELSE… this one is just robbing your money!
