Anti aging free trial offers have been subject to a lot of scrutiny lately, and for you, the consumer, it can be either trick or treat. Learn what tricks to avoid and you can enjoy the treat of a legitimate offer.

Complaints from consumers are rife, with many insisting they have been scammed. It’s worth noting that very few of these complaints are aimed at the actual products involved, but rather at the companies who dare to bill you for what you signed up for in the first place.

The consumer who expects something for nothing.
The marketers who give misleading or incomplete information.

My sympathies do lie with the consumer because there is too much emphasis given to the word “free.” And there is also some very clever marketing tricks that make it very difficult for the customer to resist.

Let’s get one thing out of the way here and now, anti aging free trial offers are not free samples. With a free sample, you just pay shipping & handling, get your free sample and that’s the end of it.

Free trial offers mean you pay shipping & handling, you get to try the product for a specific period of time, and then you have to start paying full costs for the product thereafter.

The confusion, on the customer’s part, arises because they failed to read the terms & conditions associated with the trial.

Always, always, always, read the terms & conditions in full before ordering anything, then you’ll know exactly what to expect.

The most common trick with anti aging free trial offers is the one that appears to be a news story, with a headline that says something like …..

Very often sophistocated software is used to determine your location … so that headline would appear if YOU live in New Jersey.

And if YOU live in Orlando, the headline would read …..

Pretty clever, huh? Makes it sound more believable. Then it goes on to spin a yarn about this mom ordering TWO free trials, yes, combining TWO anti aging products and discovering the fountain of youth for just a few dollars.

Many people have fallen for this one.

They rushed in and ordered the two free trials, failed to pay heed to the terms & conditions, and then screamed SCAM from the rooftops when they received an automatic shipment of both products at the end of the trial period, and were billed accordingly.

The company haven’t done anything wrong. The terms & conditions are on their website, and the products are probably quite good. These sorry episodes could quite easily be avoided if the marketers provided more information for the customer, and the customers took the time to read the terms & conditions.
