Today, I fell for a website scam that offered cheap samples for anti-aging cream. Signing up for the sample automatically signs you up for a $200 monthly subscription. When I called the company, the woman on the other end started crying. FML

OP here. So yeah, it was a cheap sample and they said they needed my credit card information to make sure I only got one. Also, I followed a people website article that said the star of the show flip or flop worked on it. Well that turned out to be a fake version of the website, and the woman is suing the company. Anyway, I told my bank and they've settled it now. I felt bad for the woman crying, because I heard her crying to one of her coworkers that it was a terrible day and she was ready to quit. Was it worth it to have a FML published? Probably not...

Don't feel too bad OP. Lesson learnt for her that she shouldn't work for a company that scams people. Glad you've settled with your bank

First of all, it's not your fault she was having a bad day. You shouldn't feel guilty over that. And second, you deserve it for falling for a website scam.

Your profile states that you're 18, so why did you need anti-aging cream in the first place? Furthermore, if a website asks for a credit card to receive a 'free' sample, then 99% of the time it's a scam.

One would think, but a totally legit skincare company recently offered me free samples, and then said it would cost me $8. I told the lady she was crazy, and she told me their sample pack is worth $30. She said that she would send it for free, but it's been a few weeks so I think it's not coming. They used to carry their products at Ulta.
