The thing that I find madding is, after starting this post, I have visited a large number of sponsor sites. It seems to be the industry norm to offer free trials for one amount of time...ie...5 days...then in the small print Terms and Conditions say that the cancellation of the trial must occur 1 or 2 days before the end of the trial, or else full subscription fees will be in effect.

This is what I meant by fraudelent practices. A 5 day trial that needs to be cancelled in 3 or 4 days is not a 5 day trial...it is a 3 or 4 day trial...this is an obvious attempt to mislead the consumer...this should be ILLEGAL...how can anyone not agree that this is simply theft!

And no, the fact that SOME consumers will try to chargeback legitimate purchases does not justify "screwing" the consumer.
