I was blind-robbed by a German company because of that. I paid a full year, was never given access,I "opened" a ticket and they answered a full week later asking me to fill 2 forms with lots PIID+ national ID card + Credit card, I told them to get lost. For being a supposedly modern, democratic society Germany seems very backward regarding online things, it is not surprised that for a economy of its size and influence the number of truly innovative "modern" online companies is rather low.

BTW, if someone knows of an HONEST company that provides online fax US numbers (Damn you IRS) I am all ears.

Was it PamFax? I used them for my one-time personal use over 10 years ago...

Yes, see what they wrote after fully charging me and refusing a charge back:

Merchants can't just refuse a chargeback. The entire point of a chargeback is that it's clawing money back from an unwilling merchant.
