Show ..' K'J CLASSIFIED M There are people so addicted to exaggeration they can't tell the truth without lying. —Josh Billings Steering Clear Of Deceptive Online Marketing (NAPS)—When it comes to "free" online offers, it could pay for buyers to beware. Deceptive marketing associated with a "negative option feature" can dupe consumers into a cycle of recurring payment for products or services they don't want. In fact, a recent Visa survey found that 29 percent of U.S. consumers said they haye been victimized by unauthorized recurring charges on their credit or debit card each month as a result of an offer accepted online. How It Works Consumers accept an offer online, often for a "free trial or sample" and don't realize they are actually agreeing to bo billed monthly for future shipments. Often consumers are required to "unclick" or "opt out" of a prec he eked terms and condition or payment authorization box to avoid being billed a recurring monthly charge at the end of the product's trial period. With negative option features, a company taketi a consumer's failure to cancel as permission to continue billing. In some cases, the "opt out" disclosure to the consumer is buried in the fine print. Canceiling can also be complicated by merchants with poor customer service, filow response times and untimely refunds. How To Avoid It The Federal TYade Commission (FTC), Visa Inc. and Better Business Bureau (BBB) now work together to educate consumers about negative option marketing ecams. They offer these tips: •Read and understand all terms and conditions. Exercise caution when a purchase involves a free trial.
