Hey Guys,

I'm not talking about offers that include additional product
bonuses and services that can be charged to your credit card
at your request.  I'm talking about a company offer with a trial
offer price for example $1.00 and the offer terms say something
like after trial period of 7 days, you will be charged $39.99  but
instead of charging you the $1.00, the company charges upfront the
one dollar amount and the $39.99.

Does  Fusion Cash punish  these companies for doing that?

I doubt it. 

The most they could do, if they received enough complaints from the membership, is to take the advertiser off its offer list.

Make sure  you read the fine print of any offers you are considering. If you see that they retain the right to charge your credit card for X dollars if you don't cancel within 7 days (or 30 days) be wary.  Even if you try to cancel within the time limit, you might find that you won't be able to get through to cancel on the phone number they give you.

It's also possible that the 7 day cancellation period begins the day you initiate the offer -- not the day you received the sample.  So by the time the sample gets to you the 7 day trial period has already expired.

If you have a problem getting through to the advertiser to cancel, ask your credit card company to stop any additional charges from the firm and file a protest over the charges already made with the credit card company.  They may not be able to reverse the 2nd charge, but at least they will stop additional charges going forward.
