The Importance of Being Upfront and Trustworthy
Recently, I discovered that I got sucked in to a free trial offer scam. How embarassing is that! After all, I'm not an online newie.
As I delved into the reason for two unauthorized credit card charges, I began to recognize the way these black hat companies operate - numerous sites using different company names for the same product, numerous phone numbers answered by some call centre somewhere, a variety of addresses, and Terms and Conditions buried so deep on the site that you would need to go searching. You can check my website for more detail about the experience and what it cost me. (https://lowellann.com/bonte-scam/)
This experience was a good reminder of how important honesty and transparency are when we are promoting our products and services on our websites. Our audiences must immediately feel that we can be trusted.

Sorry to hear you got scammed. I'm sure if we are honest, we have all been there and done that too. I hope you got it sorted soon and thank you for flagging this up as a good reminder.

I was just thinking that Gail. At least we are able to learn from our mistakes - well, most of the time.

Been there done that, it’s a crying shame that you have to have your guard up at all times, whatever happened to the days where you could trust people on what was said, that’s is why I love Wealthy Affiliate. There is no fine print buried somewhere that’s hard to find, there is no surprises, this is the place to be if you want a legitimate place to start a business. Good luck on your future endeavors.
