Just for the record:
At TBP you get that warning "underlined" in red:
"Trial: $1.12 Limited Access (1 day, recurs $39.94/mo.)"

Hi,
Just so you know, I'm not complaining at all about the way the trial was described at TBP. I am complaining about the way it was abused by the site. TBP was told the trial included three partial videos. OK, the site lied. I was charged the upcharge upon the third CLICK on the site. I saw one girl, returned to main, clicked on another. BAM! No warning or explanation of any kind! I was on the site for less than 45 seconds before they hit my credit card for $39.95! That's what I consider inexcusable... Would you accept that kind of crap from Amazon? What about Met Art? Would you tolerate a live chat site that didn't delineate between free and pay links and arbitrarily charged your card for browsing? No? Of course you would not. No reputable web site of any kind would rip off a customer like that if they EVER cared about that customer enough to want to see them again. Well, they will never see ME again! OK, I'm done.
You set this PU site up so people could give their honest opinion about the sites visited. This is my honest opinion.

It's been a long time since I've signed up for a trial membership, and this reminds me of why. I've been through the same thing. The trial (the bait) costs a buck, but the membership would pay for a family breakfast at Denny's.
It never gives me a positive impression when I see a site setting up such an arrangement. It makes me wonder about the rest of the site experience, 'cause it almost shouts, "We just want to make money. Thank you for having a libido with a credit card sticking out of it."
Thanks for the post, skippy. It would be best to discourage such practices altogether.

Yep, that's why I always give trials a misss. Same for sites with pre checked cross sells. If it looks like a site that is likely to try and trick you out of your money, it's best to give it a miss.

I am sorry you were caught out by these underhand practices.
It is wise to avoid any trial sub IMO & just take a one month option, if you want to give it a go.
At least with that you will have plenty of opportunity to cancel prior to a renewal charge.
