Spotted a good offer on one of those ever changing ads on Metcheck.com advertising a free trial of Argan Oil.
I ordered Essence of Argan (name of the product) online with a free trial for £3.99 for shipping - I realised too late that I was letting myself into a contract (having stupidly given my debit card details) of purchasing more oil
£99/month indefinitely until I cancel the contract. After checking on line I realise now that the company is known online for cheating people and not refunding your money. I will call tomorrow to cancel my contract and contact my bank to stop the payments and hopefully I will have stopped everything on time. I think it's outrageous that people are allowed to advertise in such a disguised way.
Here is the link to their website with the free trial offer:

The ad on the Metcheck website was even more misleading. (can't trace it though)
Although I haven't lost any money yet, I have wasted hours already trying to find the details of the company and find out the best way to prevent this sort of scam and also save myself from losing the money.
