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.

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.

Finn Law Group in my opinion is one of the elite law offices in the country, providing professional legal service. They really care about their clients needs and concerns. Finn Law Group resolved my timeshare issue providing excellent guidance and guaranteed positive results. I will be forever grateful for the stress relief they provided.

Thank you Finn Law Group and thanks again Mrs. Tammy. I would defiantly call them back if I need further assistance.

Amazingly helpful, professional, friendly, and caring. Great working with Tammy Tom, intake manager.

Anyone who has bought into a timeshare and then tried to end it knows of the frustration and stress this causes. I had two timeshares and engaged the Finn Law Group to help me get released from them. Not once, but twice, I experienced not only success in getting out of them, but a totally positive experience from beginning to end. The communication was consistent, honest, and professional. I was kept informed at all points in the process and was treated like a valued client. I would highly recommend the Finn Law Group.
