I recently had a bad experience with on line promotion.

I responded to an announcement that I had won a free meal for two at a restaurant to be selected from a list provided. All I had to do was try a product from another list provided.

I chose Video Professor. Sure enough the video arrived, after my credit card was charged with the shipping and handling. Fair enough. However the next week my account was charged $79.95 by Video Professor. I immediately returned the video, which I had not opened and eventually received a credit of $79.95.

A few weeks later another video arrived from Video Professor and I was again charged shipping and handling. This time my bank wanted to cancel by debit card and issue a new one (what a hassle). I told them to forget it.

Net result - I paid approx. $10. and never did get the free dinners.

Morals - 1. there are no free lunches - or free dinners either.

2. Never respond to an offer on line from an unknown source.

Try my product. Always wondered what his hook was. Now I know.
