I got so excited, and researched the product Resveratrol. It seemed like a good product. And it would really help me. So I signed up for the thirty day trial. It was free as long aqs i payed for shipping. I recived this email right before I got the product in the mail:
Hello,
Thank you for your interest, you are indeed one of the first 50 people to contact me, so you could certainty reserve the spot.
As stated in the weight loss advert, we need 50 participates that are willing to take a popular diet pill on a daily basis for thirty days. Everyday we will be recording any differences, and finish the study at the 30th day. If you don't want your name used publicly in the study, then please say so. At the same time, we will compensate you $1600 for your participation. This will be paid in check, on last day.
We will meet a total of four times, and the times will depend on your availability time. Meeting places will be at a local gym of your choice.
The popular diet pill that you will be taking is called Resvie. This weight loss product has been used by several famous people, like Ophra Winfrey. We were lucky enough to have them offer a free trial for us.

3) Once you received the free trial, we will set up a personal meeting with you, discuss further details, and answer any questions you may have. At this point our study will begin also.

So I emailed her back saying that my boyfriend and I have recieved the product and we are ready to start the study. I have never recieved an email back. And now my boyfriend and I are each $186-$200 in the hole with our bank because we keep getting charged for the product when they told us it was canceled. And it was all because of this one posting and email.
