We LOVE FREE STUFF! But savvy purchasers know that this is ONLY a HOOK! It is designed to get you interested, make you sign up for something and then hit you with their real terms and conditions plus additionally needed products and services!
Examples:
- Download a FREE Video Game through one of the App Stores - HOOK - To move forward and get points you must either listen to endless commercials or buy the points to continue playing!
- Online, you find a product that says FREE just pay for the Shipping & Handling - HOOK! Once you pay the S&H with your credit card, the small, undisclosed print that is hidden somewhere, says they can now charge you monthly for the same product until you CANCEL! But you never signed up!!! It was suppose to be FREE!
As you can see there are plenty of FREE OFFERS but they ALL have stipulations that you need to know BEFORE you Sign-Up!
