Ok, I'm under 18 and I've been totally gyped by all these online con artists. It all started one day when I was surfing the web and I saw this promotion that I could get a free gift if I participated in this survey. When I did, they said to recieve my free gift I had to complete three offers from their sponsors and I did. The "sponsors" that I signed up for, TriClear, TLScienes (Actipril), and AdvantageLanguage made me believe that I only had shipping and handling to have a free trail of their products. Bull ****. All those bastards, except Advantage Language, are charging me for their products with out my consent. I also made sure that I didn't agree to anything other than the offer I was expecting. I haven't opened any of the products except for the actipril but you know what? They sold be a product that I am not even old enough to use. It could endanger my health. Well, I have no more room to talk can someone please give me some legal advice because I know this can't be legal at all

Hello Friend,
You learned the hard way. Did you give them a credit card or just agree to purchase?
If you did a credit card, call your company and tell them what happened, change your card number. Your card can easily be circulating.
Now, if you "agreed" in writing, which you did, you also have 3 days to send a notice and return their products.
I would suggest you give Clark Howard a call and check out his web site for this scam.
There are NO get rich or free things online. Not a one of them are valid.
You are 18 and got taken. Sorry Dude.
Tom
