Intelius offers to provide location, phone number and other information on a person for a charge of 95 cents. Buried in the "agreement" that people rarely read is an agreement to pay $19.95 per month until one cancels his membership. The first month's charge is applied to your credit card, and you are charged almost $21 instead of 95 cents. Because I caught it quickly, I was able to get Intelius to cancel my membership and refund the first month's fee, but had I waited until the bill arrived or had I not checked my credit card bill closely, I might have incurred this charge for one or more months.
