The websites are deliberately and deceptively constructed to hide disclosure of repeated monthly charges, behind links, buried in legaleze text, at the bottom of long html pages, through use of poor contrast fonts, etc. FTC has examples of various such deceptive websites, and the Senate Commerce Committee has held hearings on similar "negative option" charge cramming scams.
Dispute unauthorized charges through your bank, and block the card number or close the account due to fraud to prevent additional fraudulent charges. Follow up with a written dispute or fraud affidavit sent toyour bank's dispute address.
Do NOT waste your time trying to get your money back from any scam through the scammer. Always immediately file a bank dispute, as that is usually the only way you will ever get your money back. If you leave your account or card number active, you can expect additional monthly charges, probably around $58 to $150, until you get wise and shut it down. The "$1.95", or whatever, was just a teaser to get your account number.
The game they will play is to try to delay your bank dispute past the 60 day FRB Reg. E or FCBA dispute period, after which your bank will be unlikely to be able to get your money back. To do this they will use various excuses, like "mailing an information packet" that never comes, "cancelling your membership" but they lose the "cancellation" so monthly charges continue, requiring you to get, and send in, a "refund request" that never has any effect, having to call a "refund number" that is ignored, or the cancellation "lost", etc...
File fraud complaints with FTC, your state AG, and at www.ic3.gov
