Free Trials and Cross Sells = 20 Years In Federal Prison

http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/news/51...-mail.html.csp

The alleged scheme, according to the complaint, involved customers purchasing a trial-free ?core? product from iWorks for a nominal shipping and handling fee. Because of the purchase, customers were often automatically enrolled in membership programs that resulted in recurring charges on their credit cards or them being sent additional products they were charged for without their consent.

Free trials done legally and non-shady do amazing.

have a clear statement letting them know they are auto-enrolling and have an easy one click unsubscribe system and you will avoid any and all issues

Now with that said - anyone looking for herbal trials? Penis/Detox available

no adwords - opt-in mailing is fine but i wont handle ANY heat
