Unsolicited and untruthful claim - taken to "Ziinga" site -
Now we’ve all seen this page before, it’s a standard payment page that you would see on any e-commerce site., this time to buy an Iphone for $10
Normally at this point you would simply put in your details, there can’t be anything too risky in the Terms and Conditions right? There was nothing on that front page about any membership fee, or subscription charges!
If you stop for a moment and scroll down the page (presumably designed so that people who just want to get that amazing deal on a new phone or tablet will just click through without hesitation!) you will notice a little asterisk with the following:
“Included with this payment is a 7-day free Platinum membership. Once the free days expire, normal monthly fee of £ 59.99 applies. The membership is only binding for 3 months.”
