Subscription Traps and Deceptive Free Trials Scam Millions with Misleading Ads and Fake Celebrity Endorsements

Better Business Bureau’s (BBB’s) in-depth investigative study found that many of these free trial offers are not free. They do not just send free product samples to try. If you can locate and read the fine print on the order page, or the terms and conditions buried by a link, you’ll discover that you may have only 14 days to receive, evaluate and return the product to avoid being charged $100 or more. In addition, the same hidden information may state that by accepting the offer, you’ve also signed up for monthly shipments of the products. Those also will be charged to your credit card and become subscription traps. Many people find it difficult to contact the seller to stop recurring charges, halt shipments and get a refund.

Louise, we are delighted to have an opportunity to brag about Finn Law Group. Finn Law Group et all provided my wife and I a great deal of confidence we had contacted the right organization to help us work through our time-share-nightmare. Their frequent updates ensured us that the firm was working our case diligently and we appreciated their communication as thet continued to work for us. For anyone who reads this review please realize that resolving these issues with time-share companies is not a quick fix overnight. But, I want to assure you that you would be hard pressed to find a more qualified company to represent you. Our case was resolved to our satisfaction and as Finn Law group represented themselves. Their fee is a small price to pay for the peace of mind they provided us. I cannot recommend them strongly enough. Time share free and so thankful to the Finn Law Group.

Best wishes to all at Finn and thank you. Mike and Vickie

I contacted Finn Law Group in 2023 to get out of my timeshare. I was very pleased in how they communicated with me throughout this long and difficult process. Thank you Finn Law Group for ending my timeshare.

I found Finn Law Group in July 2019 when I couldn't find a way to get rid of my timeshare. It had been given as a gift and I realized a few years later that it was not something I should have agreed to take on. After calling the timeshare directly to have them buy back or take it back, they simply replied that they don't do such things. I searched online for timeshare attorneys and found Finn Law Group. Mr. Finn and his team put me at ease and said they would work with me to get rid of the timeshare but made sure to tell me that it would take time. With COVID hitting less than a year later, it set the timeline back considerably. Finally, I got the call from Louise in January 2026 saying that the timeshare had been taken back and I was free and clear. It was one of the best calls I’ve ever received in recent memory. After securing the group’s services in 2019, Louise stuck with me and kept me updated and protected. I cannot thank her and everybody at Finn Law Group enough for their help with this matter. I highly recommend Mr. Finn, Louise, and everyone at Finn Law Group for their services. It was a long and nerve-wracking journey, but they succeeded and I’m eternally grateful. THANK YOU!

Finn Law Group helped get me out of my timeshare. Even though my timeshare wasn't in Florida, they still assisted and finally got me out of this timeshare. I should have contacted them long ago.

Finn Law Firm successfully helped terminate my timeshare contract, and I am extremely pleased with the outcome. Stephanie Pryor was excellent—she always responded on time, kept me informed throughout the entire process, and made everything clear. The communication was consistent and professional from start to finish. Most importantly, they delivered the results they promised. I would definitely recommend Finn Law Firm to anyone needing help with a timeshare termination.

We contacted Finn Law Group about getting out of our timeshare and were so happy with the advice they gave us. Instead of charging us, they told us exactly what steps to take with our timeshare company, and it worked! In the end, we were able to get released from our contract for a fraction of what we thought it would cost. We really appreciate their honesty and guidance and would definitely recommend them.
