“Baby, baby, baby, you’re out of time….” The Rolling Stones.

So many scams start with offering you a free sample or CDs. DVDs or something. When you ask for the free sample the charge you a shipping and handling and then they put you on an autoship program.

Autoship is where every month you are shipped something and are charged for it. The non-scam programs give you plenty of time to cancel.

Here’s the scam: And, I’ll mention at least one company’s product. A freind ordered some acai berry pills which were supposed to be for weight loss. She had fourteen days before the autoship was to start but the test pills did not arrive until the thirteenth day.

My friend was wise enough to cancel in time but this ploy often works in you getting at least one months of the product at a great price. I was recently caught by this when I did not realize what I had ordered.

As I have written elsewhere always read the contract. But in some cases I did not read and the out of time ploy got me.

The ultimate out of time ploy is when you have three days to cancel and the password does not arrive in time for you to cancel. Anyway it would take you way longer to test the software.
