BEWARE "free samples"

Hi all, i just want to remind people that not all professional looking adverts offering goods are what they appear to be. I have just found out i have been scammed out of a lot of money on my credit card and when looking in to this it appears that a 14 day trial package with a $2 P&P was a complete rip off and luckily for me my credit card company phoned me while i was still on the site to tell me i had agreed to a direct debit that would take $90 a month and that they had already taken $29 this while i was still on the site. I got confirmation emails saying i had cancelled and no monies would be taken. Although When i googled the company name "Dazzle white" i was amazed to find pages and pages of consumers who have been ripped off for hundreds of dollars and are still fighting to get there money back this after they too got cancellation confirmations. Does this site look in to these adverts on behalf of the public and if so how do i get in touch with the powers that be to instigate an investigation.
Your response and advice would be welcome.
Good luck and be safe

Hi Me again, i was thinking about my issue with the advertiser on line and also looking at the amount of people who are setting up blogs with regards to this company.
Does anyone know can i name the advert that is still running on line in various sites. I would like to warn everyone who they are has they are very convincing, they even have a story from a woman who accidently came across this wonderful product, yet way down the advert it appears this is a fictional story?
Please can anyone tell me if this site will allow me to name the advert.

:eek:
i also saw one of these advertised and was soo tempted to try it - however, i did notice that it said that after the trial they would automatically enter you into a subscription and charge you monthly, however, you can call up before the 14th day and cancel it.
I decided to look for the products on ebay instead and ended up forgetting all about it.

This must be so horrifying to find out - luckily the credit card company were alert.

There is always small print though, and with anything sounding too good to be true, it usually is and we should always take the time to read the fine print before we agree to any financial transaction

im sorry about your experience =(
