Very clever scam, as I actually WAS looking for their trick... Why would they send me a bottle of this beauty cream for free, for just shipping costs at a resonable 2.95 UK pounds? The site came accross as really untrustworthy, but that just urged me to find out more. I then was thinking I found their trick, when, after ordering the free bottle, another very expensive product was advertised to me, "because you already paid for the shipping anyway". Aha, so this is what they think you will do. Order one for free, and then another expensive one. So I was convinced I did not fall into their trap.
But, I did! No, I did not read their "money back garantee" carefully, on this very "loud" website. Why should I, as I did not pay for the product I ordered, I had no money to clame back if I did not like the product.
Now, after rechecking, I know that hidden in the money back garantee there actually is an announcement they will charge you 74.95 for the product, if you do not claim in time that you do not like the product, and from then on they will send you a next bottle at 74.95 every month.
I do not think it is legal and will stand a trial in court, as this announcement is clearly on purpose hidden in a completely different statement about claiming your money back if you don't like the product (what you will not read if you did not pay money, so nothing to claim back, in the first place).
I found out when he second bottle arrived. I then checked my bank statements, to find out I paid a 74.95 twice.
I then called to cancel further shippings. They try to discourage this by long waiting times, and a phone operator at their customer services that takes ages to find your details. But I received confirmation my account is canceled and I will not be charged again. Hope this proofs to be true.
If so, then the clever thing is, that you actually CAN cancel by calling this number. They don't push it any further. So they take a 74.95, or 74.92 times two, from everyone that falls into the trap. Enough for them to get rich easily. Not enough for their victims to press charges. Really clever!
Your bank cannot help you, as this is beyond their definition of fraud, as you voluntarily gave your card details to pay for the 2.95 shipping costs.
I came accross a website to unite victims, so it will be worhtwhile claiming the money back.
