Got billed 106 today. Did the trial offer on 1/27, it stated it was a 14 day trial though its only been 6 days. Will be disputing this with paypal....in the meantime my debit cards have been canceled.

kevxross

03-02-2006 12:37:04

That explains the email they sent me apologizing for the fact that my order couldn't be processed because my credit card rejected the charge. Losers.

It's been less than 7 days for me too and I've gotten NOTHING from them, not even an email, until that one. Awesome trial, I'm sold!

Oh god, if it's the same company as Cheat and Eat you're in for it.
They don't respond to emails and they don't answer their phone. I did the cheat and eat offer and 12 days later they tried to charge my paypal debit card but their wasn't any money in it. I kept trying to contact them but their telephone number would just send me to a voice mail. Finally when I called Novapoint(the company that handles their billing) they ignored the fact that they charged me too soon, and pointed to the fact that the offer is not really a trial but once you pay for the "trial" you're obligated to buy another 60 day trial, but when you read about it on their site it doesn't sound like that at all.

I called paypal and they cancel that virtual debit card and they just keep trying to charge it.

JesterxXx

05-02-2006 20:29:48

looks like it is most likely the same scammers as leanlifepm. Although the last 4 digits of the phone number Retro posted are not the same, it's close enough. (909-9303047)

Here are my two transactions with leanlifePM. First one when they charged me even though I cancelled before the end of the trial. The second when they finally charged back my card...took about a month and a half roll


08/29/2005 DIRECTDEBIT/VISA-LEAN LIFE PM 909-9303047 UT -$108.07
11/09/2005 CREDIT/VISA-LEAN LIFE PM 909-9303087 UT +$108.07


As soon as I read about these guys I contacted my bank about a chargeback and they immediately gave me a 'provisional' refund while they researched it. Then after I finally got the real chargeback from leanlife they took it back. Everyone that has been charged when they shouldn't have been should contact their bank/credit card right away to start the chargeback/complaint process.


Anyone able to get an address for the number Retro or I have? It's a local phone number for me so if we can get an address I can actually go stop by their office and start some crap lol. Maybe someone can "social engineer" them enough to get an address lol. Like pretend you want to send a check for another shipment roll. It should be in the southern California area.



I just did this offer recently and haven't been charged even the shipping yet but I am not looking forward to messing with these scammers again. OC and TRAINN really need to take these offers off!

Basically you let them know that you did not authorize the charge and believe you may have been frauded. You will most likely have to make some sort of official claim with all the needed info so they can research it and try to follow up on it. Most of the time they suggest that you "exhaust" your resources trying to fix the situation yourself through the "merchant" so if they refuse to answer emails, return your calls after you leave messages or otherwise are not being responsive then you you have done your part.

Each bank/credit card is different so you will need to call or check their FAQ to find out how they dill with unauthorized charges and chargebacks ;_.

Call your bank and have them cancel it immediately and file a complaint with the FTC and BBB in your area and theirs. For one they violated terms of the FTC's internet shipping policy they don't state the time in which the product should arrive any where on their site. Another thing that's funny is when I look up their address it doesn't come up with anything and their number doesn't have any info for it either.

For some reason, I actually GOT THROUGH to CheatAndEat/WhiteOverNite (same company) and had a talk with one of the CSRs, she was really nice but could do nothing for me so she transferred me to a higher-up's voicemail, I left a message saying that a community of "product testers" (FIG!) is upset at their false advertisement and that someone was actually considering a class-action lawsuit (Over at A4F which I browse occasionally) and for some reason they have actually stopped charging my Paypal card like a day after I left that voicemail.

The terms now state "within" so at least now they state what they will do...though still sketchy as hell.

This type of action by companies is usually a good sign that their end is near. If they owe you money, I'd do your best to get it back A.S.A.P. including chargebacks (which shouldn't be hard because CC companies are well aware of scam offers like WhiteOverNight and their respective owners).

On another note, I did receive my sample of this, and it was good for probably 7 or 8 uses. Which didn't really make sense because the autoship program sends you out even more of it every month...and how much teeth whitening can a single person do??

Then I had them give me the number and called them and they had their people call me 3 days later and I told them to close the account and give me my money back.

I traded with the elusive Admin a long long time ago. It was one of the worst trades I've had. P

It wasn't all Admin's fault, but the end result was a red for me.

First of all, sorry for callin you out haha. I just remembered our trade since everyone's talking about it like you're some mystical being, then laughed about it when I remembered how it turned out. In hindsight I guess it was kinda lame of me to post that lol

But since it's done and since you asked -- I did your PVPs4Free for you to do Notebooks4Free for me. Then you said you couldn't do NB4F, so you paid some other guy to do it. Fast forward a few months to when I submitted for approval and your guy turned red, which meant I had to find another person to do an OOD ?

Like I said, it wasn't entirely your fault, so I just moved on and finished that hellish beast of a site.

Although its good to see the BBB ratings for the offers as "F" be sure to also report the company behind them or they will just keep coming out with new sites to screw people. Here is a link to the company that either owns some of these sites or is in charge of billing

novapointe http//www.labbb.org/BBBWeb/Forms/Business/CompanyReportPage_Expository.aspx?CompanyID=13090536&sm="


Also, looks like they have a new offer out so watch out for it. It's called LeanLookRX and if you look at their FAQ page it has the same contact number as the whiteovernite. Bastards! (http//www.leanlookrx.com/faq.html)

Thanks a lot, missdee. I've now filed a report with BBB, and I encourage all others who've been scammed by either LeanLifePM, Cheat and Eat, or White Overnight to do the same.

For what it's worth, in my amateur legal opinion, Nova Pointe (assuming they own the aforementioned "businesses") would lose if sued on any number of legal theories. Despite the change in their T&C, I'd imagine a court might interpret the terms the way most consumers have understood them (after all, in Contract law, that's essentially what matters--it's an objective inquiry), which would be to entail a 14 day free trial before being billed for the auto-ship program. Even if a court interpreted those terms in the way Nova Pointe intends them, I would think they would be held to be legally unenforceable on grounds on unconscionability (although this one could be a tougher pull). All this to say, I really wish someone would take their asses to court and challenge their terms and conditions because I have a hard time believing a court would uphold them.

Exactly. Hell, independent of the incredibly misleading "FREE trial" garbage, their terms aren't even internally coherent. I mean, read them and tell me they make sense--they most certainly don't, but that's by design. If they wanted the consumer to know what he was "agreeing" to, they'd make their terms crystal clear and sure as all hell wouldn't call it a "FREE trial."

These jacklegs think that just because a consumer "agrees" to a set of terms and conditions, that is the end of the inquiry, when in reality it means very little in the eyes of the law. It actually means absolutely nothing insofar as the law views those terms as legally unenforceable on any number of grounds.

Best of luck to you. As a general matter, I really like your chances.

After you get your initial denial of refund from them it's best to just work with your bank/credit card and get your money that way (if you got charged).

The reason why the companies are doing this is because if you think about it, the people who are doing these offers are getting smarter by the day and the companies lose money to pay for the bounties because the "potential" customers turn out to be mostly free-loaders. So I think that's why some companies liek white out tries their best to get as much money off of their supposedly "potential" customermaids.

Yeah the terms didn't say they were going to charge you (like the new whiteovernite sneak in with confusing wording) but they just flat out charged you. Even if you emailed early to cancel on time if you didn't like it they wouldn't reply back until a day after your trial period ended.

I think after that they got sneakier with the whole confusing/sketchy terms because that is when whiteovernite came out. They probably got too many chargebacks from leanlife and figured they could screw people better if they could show the new terms to banks/credit cards.

Regardless, they don't seem worried about threats of legal action or anything like that. Odds are most people probably just write it off as a loss and forget about it so they make bank from it even if they have to ignore people for a while.
