It seems like I am seeing these $1 offers more and more often in my inbox. The latest was the Matt Bacak one. Which I might add, JP Schoffel sent out an email strongly advising against signing up for the offer. Kudos to JP. Are these gurus out of good ideas that they have the succumb to these low ball tactics? Why would they work so hard to build up their name and brand only to tarnish it with a stupid force continuity scam like this. I signed up for the Ewen Chia launch super afiiliates launch this year. I cancelled one week before the first month was up. They confirmed my cancellation. But them they charged me anyway. And I see this kind of b.s. over and over again in the IM arena. Great post.

I was told it's completely free to try it for one month. However I made the mistake of not reading the fine prints which had said that after one month they would debit my credit card unless I gave explicit instructions to cancel my membership. Thank God I checked and I got a refund back. I guess we should be careful about such offers, especially for new marketers. I was a victim of such trial sign-ups too although slightly different.

So you also need to remember to hit that "unsubscribe link" in your email!

I've been there as well. We all love a great deal and we all love trials. After all, we want to know if (whatever we are trying out) is really of benefit to us. It would be nice if there was an email alerting us that the trial is about to end and that our credit card will be charged. However, it's all about the money in the first place... So, who's dreaming? :) Great post! I'll bookmark your site to come back for more. Have a successful day! Yep, me too. I’ve been there as well. We all love a great deal and we all love trials.
