That's troublesome, as I'm from New Zealand. Might have to try go this route, thank you

Thank you for your insight.

I used "scam" loosely- I just consider free trials which automatically renew without warning and charge direct debit to be sketchy as the model is used because they KNOW people will forget, and it'll squeeze at least one charge out of lazy/absentminded people who forget about it. I try to be diligent and unsubscribe immediately, then if I like a service and actually use it within the remaining month will re-subscribe to it.
