Directory Exclusive claimed to be free internet advertising for businesses and websites. It said to read the terms and conditions. Below them was a "join now" button, I clicked on it thinking I had read all terms and conditions. I then gave them my contact information and address because they were going to send me a free business card holder.
Three weeks later I received the business card holder and inside was a bill for $950. I wouldn't have been suspicious except the return address said Jerusalem, Israel, but the stamps on the envelope were from New Jersey, United States. I checked the website again (the terms and conditions page) and below the "join button" were the rest of the terms and conditions stating that there would be a free trial offer for the first week, but then there would be a $950 fee for the next two years.
