Charged a years subscription for a three day free trial.

I just agreed to a 3 day free trial. It stated clearly it was a free trial and after the 3 days I’d be charged 44.99€ for the year. The moment I accepted the “free” trial I was charged to my credit card. Under the App Store the “trial” now shows as a full years subscription expiring next year with no mention of a trial!!!! Calling my credit card company tomorrow.

All I was pointing out is that the use a report function has a drop-down of boxes. And I was basically forced to choose “ I bought by accident” rather than “the company lied about it being a free trial”. This lack of feedback will mean others fall victim to. Anyway thanks for your help guys. I did get my money back so I am happy from a selfish perspective. Was just mentioning this to try to help protect others.
