BEWARE of Mydeo scam
Posted by www.Queensbridge.us on April 5th, 2008


BestBuy is offering, in inside back cover of current flier
"try it FREE for 1 year, visit
http://BestBuy.com/videosharing
this will redirect you to
http://bestbuy.mydeo.com/
which states:
Upload videos up to 90 minutes long each
Share your videos knowing they will never be surrounded by ads, only
the message and video content you intended
Upload and stream videos at any resolution
Great service, from real people

UPDATE: Scam:
Attempted 8 minute video and got:
"The video you have uploaded exceeds the duration limit of your
current plan. Upgrade here."

The free plan only allows 5 minute video, LESS THEN YouTube

So you really thought at a place where they charge you $7/month for 30
minutes, you would get 90 min in a free plan? :-)
I hope Europeans won't use this one, as their exchange rates to GBP and
Euro, are not really current (meaning, Europeans are grossly overcharged).

yes I did

When 1&1 was rolling out in USA they gave out multi-year plans for
free that normally were $29.95 a month.
AND I got one.

Bice. However, I would think if mydeo didn't specifically advertise this
"90 min of video on free accounts", to draw lots of new customers, then you
won't get it. But again, my way of thinking, which does not necessarily
have to be the same as your's ;-)
Maybe you would be better off finding a webhost and create your own
webpage. They seem to be very liberal with data-allowance nowadays.

The video I wanted to test on Mydeo is only 8 minutes and it has been
on YouTube
without problems since c. February 28.

I had asked in my Email to BestBuy that their legal department get in
touch with me.

Now I see, that in the past BestBuy has gotten into legal trouble for
scamming and that
THEIR LAWYERS got into trouble for improper redacting.

See
http://www.techdirt.com/articles/200...shtml#comments

At this point I am willing to make myself available for media
interviews regarding BesyBuy/Mydeo scam {bait and switch, deceptive
trade practices etc]

I have forwarded my concern to FTC and am available to testify in DOJ
EDNY or DOJ SDNY courts.
