Free-trial scams that seem intriguing

Enticements for free-trial offers are getting more sophisticated by the day. Fake celebrity endorsements. Familiar logos. Convincing professional websites. These are deceptively good tactics for offering a near-perfect deal for beauty products, medicines or weight loss without commitment, but scams may be hidden within. Learn how to proceed with caution before signing up.
