I was watching TV one morning when a Infomercial came on advertising a product called PAAWS, a suppliment garunteed to make your dog feel young again, they wanted $39.00 per month however for it and I wasn't sure if I wanted to take the risk of losing so much—then came the scamming part.
They then announced that while the commercial was running that you would be given a "free trial offer" to try it and see if you liked it. Immedietly I called up the toll-free number thinking that It was a good deal, if I liked it I could start paying $39.00 to help my pooch, and if i didn't I wouldn't lose any money.
After the lady took my information over the phone she then asked me how I wanted to pay, did I want to make a $39.00 payment each month or pay all the months in one payment.
Now I was confused, I told her that the infomercial which was still running had mentioned a "free trial offer" she admitted there was a free trial offer but you had to pay for the product for the first three months and then and only then would you get a month free.
I saw the rip-off in this product and company at once and asksed the lady to erase my information because I'd changed my mind. She did and I was saved loads of money and from being ripped off by PAAWS.
A free-trial offer means an experimental month before you decide wether to buy it or not-it does not mean having to pay eighty dollars to "earn" a free month before going back to monthly payments.
