Public announcement, beware of free trial offers..
Recently had two friends scammed by falling for what were supposedly free trial offers, just pay shipping.. Ya right..
Both ended up being scammed out of $100.00 in one case and $200.00 in the other. What they do is not tell you that you have to cancel the automatic order that happens when you sign up for the free trial. 15 or so days after receiving what you thought was a free sample for $5.00 you find a $100.00 charge on your CC from the same company.
Problem is if you contest the charge with your bank the company tells your bank you received the merchandise and were well aware of the terms that went with the sale. You are screwed because you can't get your money back.
Beware, nothing in this world is FREE..
