Money Talk Matters

Posts Tagged ‘government grants’

This is post to show you that you always have to pay attention to your bank statements and anything that involves money. Tonight I was preparing to work on the accounting for my husband’s business and came across a line item that I KNOW he would not purchase.

So I began putting on my investigative hat to figure out what happened. I noticed the charge started in January and it really made me wonder. I decided to google the phone number listed and what showed up did not make any sense considering it was not something his business would use.

I thought to myself – alright I saw different names that showed up on Google as the company’s name.  I said to myself wait a minute. Let me check my old files and see if I had signed up for a trial and then they took it a step further.

Well – I found out that I signed up for a trial offer that was $1.99 for 7 days. Nothing more. The charge per month is approximately $60. Of course I am all over this and filing complaints and putting a screeching halt to this before they take out anymore.

I did some more research and look at this link:

So before you sign up for that next trial offer – think twice. That one or two dollars could end up being several hundred.
