    Contact your bank, tell them you have authorised a recurring payment, you have tried to cancel this with the merchant, but they are not responding to your request to cancel, so you want to revoke the authorisation for the recurring payment.

    ^^^ that site is fake. Try clicking on one of the tabs on it like 'world news' or 'sport' - it redirects you to a sign up page!

    Contact your bank straightaway a file a <SNIP> complaint. You might get money back

    I remember another poster making this mistake a while ago. Although the business practices may be poor, the website did clearly state in the T&Cs that they would charge a monthly fee following the initial discounted offer.

    In your case, you should immediately cancel the subscription with the retailer. Their T&Cs usually state that you can cancel within a certain timeframe. In addition, notify your card provider of the cancellation, including a copy of the cancellation email.

    In future, read the T&Cs, and remember that if something looks too good to be true, then it probably is.

    Plus Customs will most likely confiscate the Rat poison (for all you know that's what it is) when they see it and those pills don't work even if legit, destroy your liver at best like what has happened to other people.

    If you're using Firefox install this, it'll help you with finding out if a site is dodgy or not.
