article reports the Florida Attorney General's office reported 700 complaints regarding this particular scam.

Before you place an order for any product or service check the scams and complaint web sites on-line. Never order before you check them out! Next if a company is not listed as the manufacturer, there are no contact numbers, no addresses only hype about the products or services it is best to stop and check things out further. Haste creates crisis on-line these days. Beware of all free trial offers, read the fine, sometimes, extremely fine print. Over priced products can also be another warning of possible problems.

If you have ordered any free offer of a product like this, check you bank accounts immediately. Call your bank and stop your credit or debit card. Then order a new one and if the bank questions your concerns and fails to help you go to on-line fraud and complaint sites. Many have a long list of complaints exactly as described in this article. Several sites offer advice on how to get your money back or at the very least stop the unauthorized drafts from your account. All of the scam and fraud web sites are consumer friendly and will also direct you to places to file complaints. Here again we need to use caution, as there are reports on-line of unethical complaint sites as well. Use government sites and reputable complaint venues such as the Better Business Bureau to be safe.

By all means complain in the form of letter, calls and on-line forms. Be sure to help bring this kind of fraud to the attention of law enforcement as well. It is important that we must all remember the old phrase "Buyer Beware" as we search for bargains these days.
