The Internet Auto Renew Scam

You type a search either in Google or Yahoo - which spits out thousands of possibles for you to decide where to go.

It could be vitamins, music, cd's or anything. You click on the website - and wow! It's "ON-SALE" - 20% or 30% off!

You must have it - so you click on the add to cart. Your excited - it's consider shopping - even though it's online. You hurry to click on Check-Out! You see your total and the SUBMIT Button, not glancing at the fine print and the (Checked or UnChecked) box toward the bottom.

You push it aside as though it was another trick for you to purchase something else - so you don't read it entirely. "Big Mistake"

Because you hit the submit button so quickly - you now see the Total as you thought it should be - this settles you down - knowing that you are not being charged for anything else. (The bait has been set - and you're the sucker).

You type in Credit Card Number - Information - Shipping - and submit for payment. Wala! You're package is on it's way!

Now - depending on whether you check your Credit Card or Check Card Regularly - sometime within the next one to two weeks you will see a charge on your account for $39.99 or $39.95 etc...

Where did that come from. You pick up the phone - call the number for the Charges. You quickly state that you didn't purchase this item. But did you?

The SCAM you didn't read when you made your order:

The Unchecked Box - (check this box if you don't want to be added to our 7 free day trial for xyz company subscription. )

The fine print: You will be automatically be billed for our services each and every month etc...)

Or

The Checked BOX - (uncheck this box if you don't want to be added to our 7 free day trial for xyz company subscription).

The fine print: You will be automatically be billed for our services each and every month etc...)

Identify these companys and tell all your friends never ever order from them or the company that has the subscriptions. Shame on them for scamming hard working people out of their money while they are shopping on their site! Report them to the BBB and other agencies.

Put them on the bad listing network! (Sorry - but I won't explan). However, if this was done - they would be getting email from just about every source of garbage on the internet - when I got done with them! The're scammers!

Fight this with your credit card company or bank. Attempt to do everything but pay. State with every breath - It wasn't me. I didn't oder it. I want my money back. The odds of getting it back depends who controls your credit card.

When purchasing on the Internet - READ READ READ EVERYTHING!!!
Check every checkbox - the meaning of each and every one!
Don't let them steal your hard-earned money!
