Free Trials Can Cost You! (141 hits)

Trying something out for free? It sounds great, but there may be a catch — free trials aren’t always free.You may end up on the hook for lots more products and find it tough to cancel.

That’s why the Federal Trade Commission has created a new video highlighting the costs hiding in some free trials.

Free Trial Offers (www.ftc.gov/freetrials) shows you how to check out a free trial before you sign up, and what to do if you find yourself enrolled in one without your permission: in short, getting charged for things you don’t want and didn’t order.

Be sure to watch the video on the FTC’s YouTube channel. For more on free trials, visit ftc.gov/freetrials.

You can also read about the case on the FTC's website: http://www.ftc.gov/opa/2011/04/moneymaker....
