    I am angry that I was led to this site via an ad on facebook. Another poster said it was on sainsburys. Surely large companies like these should take responsibility for what they advertise on their websites? I think Martin Lewis should get on their case!!!

    They are also advertising on Google Adwords but hijacking the domain names of UK newspapers to use as the display url (when you click on the ad you go to the fake news site not the 'real' newspaper).

    For example this ad uses the Daily Mail url:

    (Have also seen ads using telegraph.co.uk and care2.com)

    But clicking the above ads takes you to this fake news website:

    I agree, it would be good to know which Banks actually helped or didn't want to know? ( which bank were you ? )
    Tesco Bank knew of the issues through lots of complaints and would only send out a form to have payments stopped once the form was returned. No refunds!

    just found this site by accident after foolishly paying 5.95 for free trial on Revitaderm. After reading what has happened to other people i'm worried they will try and take more money each month. I tried calling the number that appeared on the terms and conditions but no reply. have just cancelled my debit card in the hope they will not taken any further payments. Do any of you that have been affect3ed by this scan think this will be enough action to avoid them taking money out of my account. Its the first time have purchased anything on the internet not through PayPal and the last. What do you think?

    I fell for this back in early oct I managed to get the contract cancelled received confirmation and have not heard any more from them The thing is I have noticed today that a couple of the products have been listed on EBay. I have 3 of the products do you think it would be OK to list mine. The bidding is around £30 with a couple of days to go. Which makes me think that the product must be OK or people would not be bidding for them

    Yep, I have just got caught too... They did offer to pay back "half" of the money but I didnt realise that another £88 (€95) was on its way out of my account. My Credit Card Company are now looking into it for me. My understanding of the law is, that for a legal transaction, an "inaction" on the part of the seller, can't constitute the initiation of a contract by the seller so therefore they cannot withdraw money from your account. For a legal contract, there has to be An Offer, Acceptance and Money Transaction. In this case, They Offered a free trial that cost £2.95 and £5.95. I accepted, and paid the money. Nowhere on the face of the offer page was mention that the cost was £74.95 and £88.95. To me that is total misrepresentation and I am very angry. To have the price hidden in the T&C's has to be wrong. In order to accept their offer, the buyer should be told the cost up front and not have to go to the T&C's to find it. Has anyone any thoughts on this? Liz
