"Free" Internet Service Offers- are they really free?

This article just talks about how many people get misled by the ads for "free" Internet service trial periods. These ads are misleading because they get you to start the Internet service and then they don't let you know when the trial is over and you automatically without knowing get signed up. When your trial is over and you haven't been informed you end up getting charged for it and next thing you know your getting charged for a Internet service you didn't even know you signed up for. This article also tells you some ways to cancel the service before you get misled, and they tell you to contact the Federal Trade Commission if you think you have been misled. There is a phone number you can also call if you have been misled or need some help with something. you can find this article at this site http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/alerts/freeispalrt.shtm .
