THE ADULTERY WEBSITE ASHLEY MADISON WAS APPARENTLY
ENGAGING IN BEHAVIOR THAT COMES PRETTY DAMN CLOSE TO
BLACKMAIL TO ENSURE THAT THEIR CUSTOMERS KEEP ON PAYING.
EMAILS OBTAINED BY CNN FROM AN ANONYMOUS X ASHLEY MADISON
CUSTOMER SHOW CUSTOMER SERVICE REPS THREATENING TO HAVE ASHLEY
MADISON PAPERWORK SENT TO THE CUSTOMER'S HOME IF HE DISPUTED A
CHARGE ON HIS CREDIT CARD.
WE HAVE A COUPLE EMAILS TO DEMONSTRATE.
"IF YOU INITIATE A CHARGEBACK ALL RECORDS WILL BE MAILED
TO YOUR HOME.
WE DO FIGHT ALL CHARGEBACKS.
WE WILL WIN SINCE IT IS A LEGITIMIZE PURCHASE DONE BY
YOU."
THAT IS HORRIFYING, THAT IS DEFINITELY SOMEONE IN RUSSIA.
CUSTOMER SERVICE STANDARD NOTES ARE WRITTEN OUT AHEAD
OF TIME, YOU CAN ACTUALLY FIX THEM.
NOT ASKING FOR TOO MUCH.
YOU'RE SENDING IT TO EVERYONE, LET'S GET A LITTLE BIT OF
SPELLCHECK.
THIS IS A LEGITIMIZE STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE, I CHECKED.
THE BIGGER POINT IS OBVIOUSLY THE SERIOUS ONE, THESE GUYS ARE
SO SEEDY MAN.
THEY CLAIM THEY HAVE NEW MANAGEMENT AND THE OLD
MANAGEMENT OF THIS, BUT THAT WON'T MANAGEMENT WAS THE WORST.
NOT ONLY WERE THERE ALMOST NEVER ANY WOMEN THERE, ALMOST
LESS THAN 1%,
WHILE THEY WERE PRETENDING THAN NUMBER WAS MUCH HIGHER.
HE WAS ALL A SCAM TO GET YOUR MONEY, WHICH I GUESS YOU
HAD IT COMING IF YOU WERE GOING TO CHEAT ON YOUR SPOUSE ANYWAY.
YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO SCAM PEOPLE EVEN IF YOU THINK THEY
HAVE WHAT YOU WOULD CONSIDER TO BE BAD INTENTIONS.
AND ON TOP OF THAT IT TURNS OUT THE MINUTE YOU WANT TO LEAVE
THEY ARE LIKE, WE COULD SEND THE BILL TO YOUR HOME, THAT IS A
LEGITIMIZE THING WE COULD DO.
AND THEN THEY THEN FOLLOWED UP WITH MORE EMAILS MAKING
SURE THAT THIS GUY WAS GOOD AND SCARED, SAYING, "WE ARE NOT
THREATENING YOU.
WE ARE LAYING THE FAX TO YOU.
WHEN A PERSON DISPUTED CHARGE TOWARDS A COMPANY."
IT JUST STOPS THERE, YOU FILL THE REST IN WITH YOUR
IMAGINATION.
"THE CREDIT CARD COMPANY WILL MAIL TO YOUR HOME THE
DOCUMENTS NEEDED FROM THAT COMPANY IN ORDER TO
COMPLETE THE INVESTIGATION OF THE CHARGEBACK.
WE ARE SORRY."
I DON'T THINK YOU'RE THAT SORRY.
IT'S NOT ACTUALLY FROM CUSTOMER SERVICE, IT'S FROM A
COUNTRY WHERE THAT PERSON'S NAME IS CUSTOMER SERVICE.
YOU WOULD BE LEGITIMATELY SCARED, BECAUSE MAYBE THEY
JUST SEND THE DOCUMENTS IN THAT RUINS HER MARRIAGE.
OR MAYBE THEY JUST CONTACT YOUR WIFE.
IT'S THE MAFIA.
THIS IS A RULE, 95% OF THE TIME THAT SOMEBODY SAYS WE ARE
NOT THREATENING YOU, THEY ARE THREATENING YOU.
THE 5% IS WHEN A GUY IS LIKE, NO SERIOUSLY ARE NOT
THREATENING YOU I WAS JUST SAYING.
I DIDN'T MEAN IT THAT WAY.
ALL OTHER TIMES THEY ARE ABOUT TO THREATEN YOU.
AND THEY ARE WORRIED THAT YOU MAY NOT HAVE REALIZED THAT.
THIS IS THE ONLY SITUATION IN MY LIFE I'VE SEEN WHERE THE WORDS
WE ARE NOT THREATENING YOU ARE IN A CUSTOMER SERVICE LETTER.
IT SOUNDS LIKE A DEBT COLLECTOR.
THIS GUY DIDN'T WANT TO PAY HIS $40
A MONTH MEMBERSHIP OR WHATEVER SO HE DECIDED HE WOULD PAY
FOR IT AND THEY ARE TRYING TO COLLECT ON THAT DEBT.
AS CENK ALLUDED TO, NEW MANAGEMENT HAS WORKED TO MOVE
PAST THIS, AND A REPRESENTATIVE SAYS THAT PRACTICE STOPPED WHEN
THE NEW CEO AND NEW PRESIDENT TOOK THE HELM.
THIS COMPANY HAS GOT SO MANY ISSUES.
I WOULD LIKE TO IMAGINE THAT IF YOU WERE A SERIOUS ENTHUSIAST OF
ADULTERY YOU'VE ALREADY MOVED ON TO OTHER WEBSITES, BECAUSE
YOU CAN'T TRUST THESE GUYS.
AND IT'S ONE OF THE UNFORTUNATE THINGS ABOUT, ANY SORT OF
ACTIVITY OR PRACTICE OR HOBBY THAT HAS SORT OF A SEEDY THING
TO IT -- I DON'T WANT TO GO TO A STRIP CLUB BECAUSE I DON'T WANT
TO GET STABBED ñ BUT THEY HAVE A REPETITION OF YOU NOT KNOWING
WHAT'S WHAT HAPPENED WHEN YOU GET TOWARDS THE BORDER OF
ILLEGAL OR LEGAL.
NO, STRIP CLUBS ARE FINE.
LET ME BE CLEAR, I STILL GO I JUST FEEL COMFORTABLE.
A LOT OF PEOPLE FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE AT STRIP CLUBS.
BOTTOM LINE, JOHN IS RIGHT.
I LOVE THAT THEY HAVE NEW MANAGEMENT.
OKAY YES YOU'RE RIGHT, WE HAVE LESS THAN 1% WOMEN HERE, WE USED
TO THREATEN YOU SOMETIMES IN THE PAST, YOU'RE RIGHT THIS WAS A
BAD IDEA IN THE FIRST PLACE, BUT WELCOME.
THIS IS A LEGITIMIZE WEBSITE.
I FEEL BAD FOR THE MANAGEMENT AT ASHLEY MADISON, AND I WILL CHIP
IN MY THOUGHTS ON A RELATED TOPIC.
NOT EXACT TOPIC, BUT ON POLY'S.
POLYAMOROUS PEOPLE?
YES, THE GOOD FOLKS IN AMERICA WHO HAVE SEX WITH EVERYBODY.
I'M GOING TO CRITICIZE THEM, WHICH MIGHT BE SURPRISING,
IN A POSTGAME SHELF.
THE POSTGAME SHOWS ARE FOR MEMBERS ONLY, BUT MEMBERS
ALSO POWER THE WHOLE SHOW SO COME AND JOIN US.
