Is Canceling Your MySpace Account Impossible?



Like you needed any more reasons to hate MySpace: Consumerist reader Julian couldn't for the life of him figure out how to cancel his MySpace account. Here's how it went:

I have tried 5-6 times in the last 3 days to cancel my MySpace account, and they don't appear to be allowing me to do so. Are they that worried about losing people to Facebook?

On their website, I was able to go through the "cancel account" rigmarole, only to be told that they would send me an email in which I there would be a URL I had to click on, in order to confirm my desire to cancel. I have not received any such emails from them, despite repeated attempts -- not in my In Box, not in my Spam folder, nowhere.

I have sent two messages to customer service; the first one I got back an automated message telling me to follow the steps on their website that I had already done, and the second time I got an automated message saying someone would get back to me. That was a couple days ago.

Apparently, the same thing happened to the folks at The Consumerist. Their roundabout solution? To upload porn to their account, which accomplished the desired goal. If only we could use the same technique to stop our credit card companies from bothering us.
