It’s amazing how many of these teeth whitening scams are out there. And yes, Celebrity Smile is yet another teeth whitening scam product out there. When you are reading Celebrity Smile reviews you really have to know the person who wrote the article because some of them will be making money off of people signing up to get the trial offer. I learned a long time ago not to trust anyone who is getting a commission. lol.. I know that’s not always true, but it’s a good rule of thumb.
So how does Celebrity Smile work? First they have this really cool looking website that looks professional and all, but you really have to read every word on the page to get the full picture. It’s always that small print that they don’t want you to read that you really need to read FIRST. For only $4.95 they will send you a free trial of their teeth whitening gel so you can try it out. That’s the part they want you to see. The part of the website they don’t want you to see is where they will charge your credit card $40 after only 14 days of submitting your information and they will continue to charge your credit card that amount every 30 days thereafter. They do this as a “convenience” so you don’t have to keep ordering, right? No, they do it to rip you off and hope you don’t notice all of those extra charges on your credit card.
Teeth whitening scams like this are popping up all the time. It seems all they do is slap a new label on the same teeth whitening gel and see how many credit card numbers they can collect.
You will NOT find a celebrity who uses Celebrity Smile, as much as they claim that all the VIP’s are using it, and all of those websites like CNN and USA Today and Oprah do NOT recommend you try Celebrity Smile. These are all gimmicks to get you to trust their product. But when someone tries this hard to get you to trust them, there’s a red flag going up right away. Oh, and as our friends over at TWR said, getting your teeth 5 shades whiter in an hour is IMPOSSIBLE with cheap carbamide peroxide. That stuff would have to be so strong that it would eat your gumline away.
So stay away from Celebrity smile, because they don’t exactly make it easy to cancel your orders with them. It won’t be a picnic for you. You might not get a free trial, but try a company that is reputable and has real testimonials.
This must be stopped. Dazzle Smile are nothing but thieves and con merchants.
They trick you when you order their ‘low price’ sample and charge you a)excessive postage and b)on going amounts that you supposedly signed up to and agreed.
They also trick you into believing you are getting a one time deal and get you to leave a box ticked. You think that this is for getting the sample at a real good price but infact, by not unchecking the box you automatically agree to taking on another service or product, like the World Club Fitness program. Because you were tricked to not unchecking the box they will now say that you agreed to pay another amount, in my case $26 per month.
Then, when they send you the sample they charge you the postage seperately, being a small amount. This shows on your statement and you think that it’s not so bad BUT what you don’t know is that’s just the postage. A week or so later you realise that they then debit you a much larger figure, say $80. Then, by the time you’ve realised it’s gone past the 30 day trial and they refuse to credit you back the money even if you do send it back.
Whilst you’re trying to get the credit from them they then debit you again a similar amount and you would not have even received the next item. When querying the next payment and no product they say ‘Oh don’t worry, it will be with you any day’, ‘If you’re not happy with the products just send them back and once we’ve received them we will credit your account’. That is another lie. I sent them back, by recorded delivery and they still do not want to credit my account.
Then you find out you’re being charged for the ‘unchecked’ box service, mine being some fictitious ‘World Club Fitness Program’, for which you have absolutely no knowledge and in my case never received any product, service, link to an on-line magazine or otherwise.
After kicking up a stink they promised to cancel the account with them and not debit any more from your credit card. You put down the phone and hope that all will be credited and nothing more debited. WRONG. A few days later you find that not only have they debited your credit card a 4th or 5th time using various pseudo names, they have also passed your details onto another ‘affilliated’ company who has debited your account for similar amounts.
When phoning this new company I am told that I must have ordered from both companies….for similar products?!? Do they really think you’re that stupid. Well, the truth is they do….and unfortunately we are…because we were stupid enough to believe that we were dealing with an respectable, honest and reputable company.
The truth is they are not. They are nothing but cheapscates and rogues, acting deliberately to con people out of their hard earned money. And by using the internet to sell their very unworthy products, they play their tricks and gain your money by nothing short of fraudulent practices.
For any of you who have done what I did, do yourself a favour. report your credit cards lost or stolen and gain new ones with completely different numbers. Then report this company to your bank, credit card company, the police, a wonderful web site like this and anyone else you feel might help you, us to stop companies like this from using their immoral, fraudulent practices.
Oh, one more thing you can do to get your own back is to regularly phone their toll free number, say 10 or 20 times a day when you’re sitting around enjoying a coffee or a glass of wine. It might be toll free to us, the caller but they still have to pay for those calls. If they have to pay a cent per call from one person, that’s not a lot. If we can get a couple of million to call them 20 times a day we might make a dent in their ill gained proffits.
If any of you have any other ideas as to how we can get our own back on this/these companies, lets get together, share the ideas and DO IT!
