Do Not Order "Free Trials"!!!

I have read many of the FREE TRIALS ads, and if you look hard enough, you find catch loops. I am to the point I don't like to use my card for anything, until I have done business with them, so I buy a (name credit co.) money card at a store or bank, and make my first purchase on it. If they turn out to be a scammer, just drain the card and toss it. After you learn them and develop a trust with them, you can put them over onto your permanent card.
Thanks for watching out for scams. Be sure to post them at sites like that one girl's list that jumps on that one boy's list for it's sloppiness.
 
Yes, those free trials are definitely scams. I had a customer that saw my newspaper ad for my electronic cigarette kit. When talking to her on the phone, she said that she had ordered a kit from a radio ad. The atomizer didn't work and when she tried to call the company to complain, she only got a voicemail and no return phone call.

Be very wary of ANY free trials. Some of the more shady ones will continue to bill you, even when you've opted out in plenty of time. Using a prepaid card is a great way to make sure you don't keep getting billed. Google is your friend, so google to find out what others are saying about something, BEFORE you buy into it.
 
Believe me ...what they say about these free trials is true. Made the mistake to order one through the internet and only after did I read the 'fine print' (Terms and Agreement) that they mentioned the charge for the Free Kit and the recurring monthly charges. Sent the whole kit back unopened and hopefully will not be charged anything else but the $10.95 Re-Stocking fee !!
Learned my lesson the hard way but did my homework on what to get and found a supplier I am happy about w/ a great Customer Service and Fast Shipping (and good prices).
