I was sooooo pissed at him!! so you would think that he learned a valuable lesson yes? NO i asked him to check our bank statement online today and there is a 69.95 charge from paypal on there. i was like WTf? we have not ordered anything through paypal lately. so he signs in on paypal and is looking at things. this was charged to a one time use set up credit card through paypal. he then admits to me he had seen one of those advertisements for getting information on getting grants. he ordered thier started packet for 1.98 and said no to the monthly subscription. well guess what? yeah, they charged him for the monthly. so we are now out 69.95 until i can argue, cuss, and get our money back. and he is sitting here saying i have NO REASON to be angry with him. :hectic1: my husband is a very smart guy but an IDIOT online. and he HID THIS FROM ME. he never told me about the grant website or ordering the cd or anything. i would have said NO its a SCAM. what am i going to do with this man? killing him is not legal!!

I feel your pain. I had problems w/ my hubby when he ordered the Nascar track pass free trial and then "cancelled" it (or so he thought) 3 months in arow they took money out and we had to fight to have it put back.
Then, he ordered some "free trial" thing and we had similar problems as you did.
He also, was like "what's the big deal?" we got it fixed.....ummm...and what if I'd have bounced a check because of this?
This is why I handle the money. UGH!
So, yeah, I know exactly where you're coming from.

hubby is having a hard time understanding why this is a big deal. he has some spending cash that is not counted in to our bank account so he is saying if we dont get it back he will pay it in to the house account out of "his" money. ARGHHHH he really doesnt get it but swears to never do it again!

You are the third person I have read about getting stuck with this bill, the others were fuming!

My DH can be stupidly naive too LOL!

Sometimes I wonder how it is that men came to rule the world?

Our neighbors tried to get us in on that scheme (the acai' berry or whatever it is). Dh went to a meeting with them (just to apease them, we had no intention of joining) and he said it was like some kind of cult meeting! LOL!

I am so glad things will get straightened out. Kind of makes me think of my dog (sorry). He will do something so dumb, I just have to wonder what is going through his brain! Did he witness all the crap you had to go through? If so, hopefully he truely has learnt his lesson.
