If you decide you like the stuff and want more, check with Ebay. That's a good way of getting around those hidden charges you get when buying from the company.

Sorry this happened to you! Darn crooks out there!

You got that right, Connie.

This is an example of one of the worst types of marketing --- sale by small print.

There are variations but generally the catch is that accepting a free offer now obligates you to pay later.

Be aware.
