Today I got a call from someone connected with EasyLife, a firm I have bought from.
He talked about a £50 voucher they would send me and said that, with it, I would also get information about a 'wellbeing scheme' costing £70 a year, which would give me instant access to medical consultations (phone or online).
If I decided I didn't want to be part of this scheme, after the 7-day trial period, I could cancel.
So the fact is, they would sign me up to this scheme before I knew anything about it and the onus would then be on me to cancel if I didn't want it.
I told him it was fine to send info for me to decide about but if they were going to sign me up automatically, I didn't want it.
Of course, the hope is that people won't catch on that they are signed up to this thing until after some money has been taken and/or that they won't bother to cancel.
So, not exactly a scam but.....
