Forced continuity refers to signing up for something that is supposedly free, but if you don't cancel in time, you have to pay. It entails giving your credit card information in order to get free access to something, and then you get slammed into paying for something you don't want just because you forgot to cancel.
It's the highest form of low lifeness, but its what many of these scam artists do in order to support their business and gambling habits. They make you sign up to high priced services (where you can get a car for the money you are paying) or low priced newsletters and such so that they slip under the radar and you dont notice the charges. This has paid for more houses on country clubs, sushi, and private schools than you can imagine, and its just plain wrong.
Recurring billing is not an issue, as many people feel subscriptions keep things running smoothly with no interruption in service, but offering a free trial and then slamming you into a program is downright scummy.
Did you expect anything else from these people?
REFUSE TO BE SCAMMED! if you feel you are being put into a forced continuity program, contact the FTC immediately and they will help you resolve any complaints and put these scum out of business.
