The Video Professor commercials — if you’ve ever watched TV past 11 p.m. or, you almost certainly have seen the ads — have never been quite goofy enough to rise to the level of Internet meme. But they could soon become a punchline, anyway. TechCrunch head dude Michael Arrington says the business is a scam , much like any other operation that promises you a free introductory product and then quietly (but not so quietly that they’re breaking the law) also signs you up for hundreds of dollars in subsequent products. ‘Cause that’s exactly what Video Professor does, Arrington says. While you get one free training video for the software of your choice, you’re also enrolled for as much as $290 in additional material. Unless you return it, you get billed. And lots of folks who have tried to return the videos have reported problems getting their refunds. Video Professor falls back on the old “We are members of the BBB with whom we maintain an “A” rating” defense, but doesn’t deny any of the sales tactics Arrington describes. So, yeah, I’d recommend staying away from Video Professor.
