    They are a scam.  Offering a "7 day trial" for a few bucks, followed by piling on repeated $70 charges, is what they do.  Somewhere they may even have disclosed that that is what they would do, but many people are surprised by the larger charges, so we can assume you were never intended to see their disclosure.  The "drireg.net" is their payment processor, who takes on clients such as this.

    Immediately contact your bank to dispute the unauthorized fraudulent charges, and close the account to prevent additional fraud.  Follow up with a written dispute sent to your bank's dispute address from your statement, and make sure your bank receives it in less than 60 days from the statement date of the statement showing disputed charges to invoke your FRG Reg. E or FCBA dispute rights.

    Have they now taught you how they "make money on-line"?

    Before the Internet, there was an old mail fraud joke, but it could easily be updated:

    A guy saw an ad in the classified section of the paper (remember newspapers?).  It said:  "Make money by mail order.  Secrets disclosed.  Just send $5."  

    So he sent in $5, and a week later, he got a single page reply disclosing the secret.  It said:  "Place an ad in the classifieds saying "Make money by mail order.  Secrets disclosed.  Just send $5."  Then when people send $5, send them a copy of this letter."

    In movies, there is a plot device known as a "McGuffin".  The "teaser" CD, or whatever, is a McGuffin, with just enough existence to complete a sale with disclosure of your account information.  The main story line is about getting more of your money.
