Amazon

Amazon online offers a free 3-month trial of Amazon Prime which gives you free 2-day shipping and other benefits. They state, "As the 3-month free trial period ends, if you want to join Amazon Prime, do nothing. At that point, we will enroll you in a 12-month membership and charge a $79 annual fee to the credit card..."
They further state that they make it easy to cancel before the trial ends and will even send you a reminder.
The facts, they charge you the $79 immediately. You only get a refund of the $79 during your Free 3-Month Trial if you have NOT USED the service during that three months. (These stipulations are listed on another page and not stated clearly.) Very deceptive.
