The first 30 days was supposed to be a free trial and then monthly charges of five bucks AFTER I try it out but it charged me the fee as soon as I set it up. Why?

Hello there, @mickeymouse468.

It's possible that you'd click the Buy now button instead of the Try it free button. Clicking the Buy now button will bypass the free (30) thirty days trial.
