Hello,
Stamps.com would like to thank you for your comment and apologize for any misunderstanding regarding our promotional scale offered at registration. This scale is free (only Shipping and Handling Fee is required) for our customers to keep regardless of when/if they cancel their service and there is no additional monthly fee to use the scale.
We offer a four week no-risk trial so that you may use our online postage service and determine if the service fits your mailing and shipping needs. Please note that we do not offer a "free trial" -- our trial is labeled as "no risk trial." If you do not like the Stamps.com service, you may cancel at any time during the four week trial period and you will not be charged any subscription fee for using the service. However if you do not cancel the Stamps.com service and go past your four week trial period, you will be charged $15.99 for using the service during that first "trial" month. After you pass the four week trial period and become a regular customer, you will be charged $15.99 each month moving forward.
During the registration process for Stamps.com and before a customer's account has been created, (on the page called Postage Account Credit Card Authentication) all prospective customers will see the following text:
Why do you need my credit card information? Your credit card is required by the USPS to set up your USPS postage account. Your credit card will not be charged unless you buy additional postage or Stamps.com products, or if you continue past the NO-RISK 4-week trial period.
We provide and disclose terms that we do expect all potential customers to read, review, and agree to before they create their accounts. Accounts cannot be created without customers indicating that they have read the terms by clicking on the I Agree box.
We apologize for any misunderstanding and would be happy to further review your account. Could you e-mail us your full name and phone number to [email protected]?
Thanks!

You did report this "stealing" to local law enforcement, didn't you? No, I DON'T work for Stamps.com and never have.
