We're a journalistic website and aim to provide the best MoneySaving guides, tips, tools and techniques, but can't guarantee to be perfect, so do note you use the information at your own risk and we can't accept liability if things go wrong.\n\n- This info does not constitute financial advice, always do your own research on top to ensure it's right for your specific circumstances and remember we focus on rates not service.\n- We don't as a general policy investigate the solvency of companies mentioned (how likely they are to go bust), but there is a risk any company can struggle and it's rarely made public until it's too late (see the Section 75 guide for protection tips).\n- We often link to other websites, but we can't be responsible for their content.\n- Do note, while we always aim to give you accurate product info at the point of publication, unfortunately price and terms of products and deals can always be changed by the provider afterwards, so double check first.\n- Always remember anyone can post on the MSE forums, so it can be very different from our opinion.\n\n[MoneySavingExpert.com](https:\/\/www.moneysavingexpert.com\/) is part of the MONY Group (formerly called the MoneySupermarket Group), but is entirely editorially independent.

Meta Title	Youtube Premium free trial scam — MoneySavingExpert Forum
Meta Description	I was offered a 2 month free trial for Premium when I signed in to my account (I have had this last year for a free ad free month which worked fine) I gave my credit card details which is a standard procedure only to get a confirmation email from Google Play and Youtube thanking me for purchasing a month's worth which will automatically renew in a month.

We're a journalistic website and aim to provide the best MoneySaving guides, tips, tools and techniques, but can't guarantee to be perfect, so do note you use the information at your own risk and we can't accept liability if things go wrong. - This info does not constitute financial advice, always do your own research on top to ensure it's right for your specific circumstances and remember we focus on rates not service. - We don't as a general policy investigate the solvency of companies mentioned (how likely they are to go bust), but there is a risk any company can struggle and it's rarely made public until it's too late (see the Section 75 guide for protection tips). - We often link to other websites, but we can't be responsible for their content. - Do note, while we always aim to give you accurate product info at the point of publication, unfortunately price and terms of products and deals can always be changed by the provider afterwards, so double check first. - Always remember anyone can post on the MSE forums, so it can be very different from our opinion.
