OFT issues anti-wrinkle cream warning

Fri, 20 Jan 2012

The Isle of Man Office of Fair Trading is warning of websites offering free trials of anti-wrinkle cream which then take large sums of cash from the customer.

The OFT says it's been contacted by consumers who've used a credit or debit card to pay for the postage for the free samples, only to find over £70 leaving their account.

By signing up to the free trial, the customers had also unknowingly agreed to a subscription, some of which are over £70 per month.

The organisation advises that anyone interested in such a product should read the terms and conditions carefully, and to research the company before handing over financial details.
