I am also an IL resident and have traced this back to Pro Flowers.com order. There is a box on there web site that if you don't remove the check mark while you are ordering the flowers you are enrolled in this trial marketing offer for 1.95 the first month. After that, you are billed 14.95 a month. Pro Flowers spams you to death, but they claim they sent me an e-mail explaining my membership and that if you don't opt out you are enrolled!! This is deceptive marketing at its best using the latest weapton (internet). What disgust me most is that a reputable company like Pro Flowers is involved!! When I went to file a Better Business Bureau complaint against Encore Marketing it came up against Pro Flowers.com My suspicion is they own this company and created it as a way to sell more products and deceive many consumers in the process. The sad thing is I've used Pro Flowers before and recall this happening to me about a year ago, but we caught it the first month. This time we paid 7 months. Does anyone know a lawyer willing to file a class action lawsuit against Encore Marketing or Pro Flowers? That is the only real way to stop them. I have filed a complaint with the FTC as was suggested by another poster and they also advised me to contact the IL State Consumer Protection Agency at 1-800-243-0607.
