How to cure your bank account!

Free Trial:

Plastered all over the internet is a beautiful girl’s testimony telling about Skin Perfection’s free trial and how great the product works – with before and after pictures to prove it!

Oh wow!

Who can resist a free trial?  Not me – I quickly signed up to receive my 30 day supply for only $4.95 shipping.

Ordering:

Should you change your mind while on the order page and hit the corner X, a pop up window will appear offering you an even better deal ($2.95 shipping).  At this time, I suggest you XXX outta there as fast as you can!  Unfortunately, I didn’t .

Spam:

Here are a few things you might like to know before ordering:

1) Your email address will be given out to third parties.

Even if you don’t complete the final payment step,  your email address is added to their data bank.

2) Your phone number will be given out to third parties.

Within 6 days of placing my order, I received three phone calls from a third party company to confirm my address and email on behalf of my recent order.  Included were offers to win free travel tickets, $100 gas vouchers, and free stuff from other companies. It may sound like a good opportunity but from past experience, I know that these offers just mean more spam.

The Real Deal:

On the 15th day from placing your order, your credit card will be charged $79.90 (us funds) for the supply of Skin Perfection which was supposed to be a free trial.  It’s not free, it’s only free to try for 14 days!

If you do not want to pay, you must return the product by the 15th day, which could be tricky if you haven’t received it yet.

Cancelling:

To cancel further shipments of Skin Perfection, the telephone number is 866-897-0664.

Here’s what happens when you try to cancel within 14 days of placing your order:

You will be offered a “Special Deal!”

Rather than be charged $79.90 for the “free” trial, they will waive that fee if you agree to accept another 30 day supply at half price.  After that, each 30 day supply is $39.95 for as long as you continue to use the product.

or:

You can keep the “free” trial and be charged $79.90

Conclusion

I am marking my calendar for December 20th to phone and cancel.   In the meantime, I look forward to sampling Skin Perfection for 60 days to see if the product is worth the headache or is just as bogus as their tactics.

Hmmmm….they also sell Skin Perfection Lift SP.  Whattaya think?  Should I order a free trial of anti-wrinkle cream?
Update:  I first ordered the “free” trial of Skin Perfection MD on November 15th.  As of December 20th, I have not received anything.  When I phoned them, they seemed surprised but did not offer to send a replacement.  They did however agree to cancel all future shipments.  sigh….live and learn.
