BEWARE FREE SAMPLES

You are inundated with ads everywhere and the Internet is no exception.

There are hundreds of anti-aging and health supplement products being advertised

You will be asked to pay a small shiping charge - no biggy right?

But what you are receiving is not a sample but the regular size. READ THE SMALL PRINT.

There is often a note that there is a money back guarantee and if you return the product before the timeline (usually 2 weeks and barely after you receive it) there will be no charge. But you have already given your credit card number for the small shipping fee - and guess what - you won't have returned the item (usually because you thought it was a sample) and your credit card will be billed. If can be for $75 to $150 or more and in addition you will have also missed the small print which gives you an automatic shipment and bills your card on a regular basis - often monthly.

A good deal for them but a lot of work for you to undo.
