I found both Dazzle Smile Pro and SmileBrite on an ad on facebook. A Mom testimonial that recommended using both products back-to-back for best results. Free trial offers have resulted in over $180 of additional charges to my debit card that I used for payment of the $1.95 and $0.99 shipping charges on those trial offers.
After I linked the charges to the same companies that I had gotten the free trial offers from, I went back and reviewed the websites more thoroughly where I had purchased them.
My bad, I should have clicked on and reviewed their Terms & Conditions. It states in fine print exactly when and what companies have also signed me up for their product offers, when I signed up for this one. (6 product offers in all) And it indicated how to cancel everyone of them. Unfortunately, I should have done that within 10 & 14 days of receiving the trial offers, so I would not have received those $180 of charges, but I did not read the fine print.
I've never seen anything like this, and didn't even think about this type of scam. But their Terms & Conditions statements prevents me from getting out of these charges with my debit card, because I agreed to them on the order form.
It is definitely a rip-off, because the other things you're getting billed for have nothing to do with the teeth whitening products, and you don't even suspect they are one and the same, so you're left just tackling one thing at a time and trying to figure it out (health newsletter, weight loss guide, etc), then BAM, you're hit with the big charges after the trial offer is up, if you didn't cancel it.
I learned my lesson of BUYER BEWARE when buying from an internet advertisement, that's for sure. We actually have to READ those Terms & Conditons!
