This matches "Ripoff Report 375925." Mine also involved a $1.97 expenditure. I used my debit card on the evening of September 29th that I approved for an S&H (shipping and handling) fee for a free marketing kit that triggered an off-screen monthly $49.95 membership purchase made impossible to timely cancel by the devices provided.

Clicking to a fine print' screen revealed my S&H expenditure triggered an off-screen purchase that was over 25 times greater ($49.95) on a monthly basis for which no possible means was made available to cancel before its initial value was electronically transferred from my account.

THIS IS CLASSICAL BAIT-AND-SWITCH FRAUD. I.e., the normal, traditional, and customary purpose of fine print' is to set forth terms and conditions directly related to the cost of the primary purchase for which it is merely adjunctive. (Even minor and incidental expenses and charges are required to be revealed simultaneously within the four corners of the contact that includes the primary outlay.)

Fine print is not for use to tack on an expenditure wholly unrelated tolet alone being many times greater thanthe approved expenditure found on a totally different document that in no way alludes to the unrelated charge separately revealed and extracted without approval.

I contacted my bank (Well Fargo Bank) within hours, it issued a stop payment order on my behalf for this $49.95 amount that was PENDING in my account by my bank for about four days before it yet allowed the funds to be withdrawn a day or two prior to the 10-day period this perpetrator stated it would wait before withdrawal.

My bank (Well Fargo Bank) said, since I provided the perpetrator with my account information, it could not have legally prevented the funds transfer, and that the best I could do is hope the cancellation form that I downloaded, printed, filled out, signed, had to mail first class postage prepaid in a #10 envelope (done by September 30th) would be honored by this perpetrator. Sounds to me like my bank 'dropped the ball.' Internet commerce has not been promoted with my bank's lethargic ways.
