DazzleWhite review: Scam, theives, liars 383

I to was inspired by the lovely mom story and was scammed. These people immediately began sending more product and charging my credit card. I didn't even know they were charging me until Wells Fargo (WF) called after only a day or two of multiple charges to let me know they suspect fraud. WF & I ran the 3 months of charges and confirmed fraud, they closed the card and issued a new one. Then WF investigated to determine the Dazzlewhite Pro Teeth "agreement" allowed them to do this and as so it even rolled onto my new card! Now I've had to close my credit card with WF, whom I've been with for 20 years. WF says there is nothing they can do about it.

Lesson - Don't buy ANYTHING ONLINE! The crooks outnumber the good guys. If you can't go down to the local sears store (or similar) to get it like in the old days, you probably don't need it. This entire experience has $ucked.

The Ad for DazzleWhite is really a big fraud. They claim it is a trial offer but have in microscopic letters that if you do not keep it return it and they will re-imburse your money. In addition, they claim that once you sign up for the trial offer, you also sign up to get shipments at their timing automatically. In addition, you are signing up to get some kind of email from another company from Florida. I have been very wary in ordering from companies online but when I saw the ad on CNN and the rave review from a woman, I also fell for it. Three weeks after, I am $120.00 in debt over this product...which I did not want to keep.
Frauds like these should be stopped.

Shalyn R is working for some big company that is designed to dupe people into giving out credit card numbers. Whe has given over 700 responses to who knows how many different products to give a pathetic response to all of these complaints.

I wonder if she sleeps at night?

Annette Boutilier and her 'auto-text' may be working elsewhere by now!

fedupwithfraudclaims, aparently you think everybody else is stupid, and all claims are fraudulent. I am surprised that, being that you are such a bright guy (as you seem to believe), you would repeat yourself: you made this same comment a while ago, about something I wrote in another post...

If you would actually read the Terms & Conditions of the offer, you will see that you were not Ripped Off. You agreed to the Terms & Conditions without reading them (Your quote - "Hopefully I won't be so stupid next time, there better not be a next time".) How can you blame the company for that.

ClassAction.com has been taking info of those of us that have gotten scammed by these thieves. I have not thouroughly investigated this site, but if they are able to put DazzleWhite and its affiliates out of the scamming business...I applaud them.

I called my bank the moment that I saw the debit from my account and was informed that if I change my debit card number that I would not get further charges from this company and IT WORKED. Of course, I didn't get my initial $88.97 charge for the 1/32 oz. "sample" of the product refunded, even though I did cancel before the 12 days and returned the sample as requested. Since it's been over 6 months, I have chalked it up to a teaching experience. IF IT'S TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE- IT IS!

Further to my last comment I would also point out to those who may not know, the so-called 'trial' starts the moment you click the submit button and, therefore, if you live in the UK or Australia there is no chance that customers will be able to receive, try or return the goods within the specified period. Therefore, no proper 'trial' is possible so please don't bother!

@Mikey53: Make no mistake Mikey, 'turn the other cheek' is the last thing I'd recommend with these sharp-dealers. The banks and card companies can do very little to stop this type of business as, strictly speaking, it's not illegal as long as they stick to their Terms & Conditions. My belief is that the T & C are unintelligible and 'unfair' in the extreme but I'm not a lawyer.

I cancelled my credit card with all the inconvenience it caused me but the bank told me that even doing this is no guarantee they won't keep trying to extract money from me. Apparently the bank is obliged to transfer all requests for payment to the new card and even closing a bank account won't clear the 'debt' as they are also obliged to honour any such debts and then come after the debtor, namely me, to reimburse them. It's a no-win situation. However, changing the card number generally deters these people as they are fully aware that their business practice is decidedly dodgy. Fortunately, in my case they had no right to make charges as I received neither goods nor services from their organization and, therefore, no contract existed; others are not so lucky.

My bank asked me for all details of the transaction, dates and times of phone calls made and any cancellation numbers I'd been given. They also requested written confirmation that, having received none, I was unable to supply. They do know who these people are, all my dealings with them led back to a food shop on Cyprus, and they are a multi-company organization (affiliates) selling tooth-whiteners, diet, fitness and face care products. If they fail to extract payments from their unwitting 'victims' using one company name, they will use another and another - the domain names under which they operate appear to be infinite.

They use the dubious practice of location specific advertising, ie/ the "MOM" who seems to live near to everyone in the world, to mislead people into believing their untruths. The only advice I can give is to do as I did and cancel the credit/debit card used in the first instance, refuse to accept (or return at once) any further product received, write letters, keep copies and hope this will deter these unscrupulous people who will always have plenty of other unwitting victims on which they can prey.

How polite and understanding Penny I applaud your " Turn the other cheek" I on the other hand am not so forgiving or understanding. At the bottom of the trail that is this company are theives at best but more likely they are funding criminal or terrorist activities and using mugs like me and you to promote their brand of hate.

Foxy do not be fooled to think the Uk Fraud squad and the Dept are doing anything but watching and sending you and me letters. This scam has been going on for some years and is based in Cyprus because the judiciary can be bought there very easily. In Cyprus they are very worried that they do not have any true and clean legal people left in the system.

Government in Europe and the USA could stop this practice on no time at all but they choose not to and that makes no sense at all does it.

This company are scammers/terrorist/criminals = ###

The reason these people are still around and getting away with misleading advertising is that they're doing nothing illegal. We didn't read the Terms & Conditions properly. The adverts (all) clearly state the trial is free, it does not say that the same applies to the product. If the product is not returned within the time period stated then the product has to be paid for and regular supplies will be sent and charged for until cancelled. This also applies to the subscriptions to which we agreed when requesting the 'trial.' Each of these subscriptions has to be cancelled individually which is a nightmare. Fortunately my bank was on the ball and gave me a single address to which to write and demand that all subscriptions should be cancelled immediately and no further attempts should be made to extract funds from my credit card. This was, fortunately, successful and I received a full refund of all money taken. However, I was luckier than most in that I never received the initial 'trial' product - had I done so, I would have been legally liable for all costs to which I'd agreed. Please READ THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS and then don't bother ordering; my feeling is that any organization that needs to mislead potential customers will not be overly bothered about the quality of its products.

Hi I'm from the UK I traced the company to Cyprus my credit card company said the Office of Fair Trading are watching the and the Fraud Squad in England know all their details. I was lucky the credit card refunded everything it taught me a lesson never pay online via credit card you can't block any paymetns going out
Good Luck to you All

I agree that these scamming, no good, lying, thieving, fatherless, money grubbing crap heads ought to be shut down once and for all. They give honest people who do a legitimate on-line business a bad name. It really makes it difficult to do a legitimate business. I was robbed by them also and I see they are still there as strong as ever. There is absolutely no way that I will ever order anything that I "only pay shipping" on ever again. As soon as I see that statement, either on the internet or on TV or hear it on the radio, I say "SCAM" to everyone within hearing of my voice. It's true, that that is painting everyone with the same brush but think about it folks, How can you stay in business by giving away your product for the ridiculously low price of "Pay only for the shipping". Even for a "free" trial sample. I'm 71 years old and own and operate a business and have used PCs for years. I feel like a fool for falling for such a SCAM.
They aren't alone. Just when you think you have them stopped, you get another charge from their associates who have been given your account numbers. I had to close my bank account in order to get it stopped. No valid phone numbers and if you do happen to get a person they are trained to say the same thing over and over. They all use the same script and they are not smart enough to even realize they are (see sentence no. 1 above.)

Good Luck everyone ! I asked for a refund of $58.76 in August, , had to send bank records, , fought with the bank to no avail, , this is April 8 months later and still have not received a refund, , What scam artists and crooks they are, , Wish there was a wider media to stop these people from stealing from us .. DON"T ORDER THIS PRODUCT < YOU CANCEL AND GOOD LUCK GETTING YOUR REFUND BACK, , 11Should have listened to the bank, , yhey know who they are, , said I probobly wouldn't see it, , The killing part about it is, , there is no phone number, they give you a fake corporate address, , DON"T FALL FOR THIS

Dazzle white are still all over the internet in US UK and Australia, they may change their name slightly but the SCAM is the same and the fraudulent stealing from peoples credit card accounts go on everyday.

The Government agencies in each Country are not helping by closing this company down and tracking the money trail using the Anti terrorist laws available to track and seize the funds taken under this scam.

The Dazzle white scammers are funding terrorist activities worldwide.

I urge everyone to email congress or Parliament in their Countries to highlight the criminal and terrorist funding this scam is providing.

If your from the UK just go straight to your bank and explain how you don't have a receipt for the amount they charged you. I'm with HSBC and they sorted this out straight away and got my money back. Dazzle crap won't even try and argue with your bank as they don't have a leg to stand on as you only have a recipt for the amount of the so called 'trial' and if they have taken the money. If you tell you're bank you haven't received the product which the dazzle company have no proof that you have received it because they don't track their parcels then their terms and conditions aren't legally followed as they can't legally prove when your 14day trial has began as you haven't received the item to begin the trial.

Dazzlewhite scam is from Just Think Media Jesse Willms scam company. Here is his home address:

Jesse Willms
527, 52328 Range Road 233, Sherwood Park, Alberta, Canada

DO NOT under any circumstances order this product! It is a big scam and the product doesn't work. They send what is supposed to be a trial tube for S & H charges and then you get a full sized tube and are charged over $70 for it and then in about 3 weeks send another tube and charge another $70.00. I did get it canceled, but no money was returned when I called them. Their excuse was it was past the refunding date. Even though I sent it back within 45 days and the trial time was supposed to be 90 days. It is a BIG SCAM and they keep moving their offices. I didn't know it was now the UK! I have definitely learned my lesson not to order anything on the Internet!

I have no idea who Wayne Euber is but he is part of the scam. This company either authorizes the charges to other companies or sells it. Do not sign up for this product--there will end up being numerous charges on your charge cards that will appear each month and you will not be able to get rid of them.

These are all fraudulent charges linked to Dazzlewhite and the companies associated with that company.

I was foolish for applying free trail from only Dazzle white but there have been a few companies which still taking from my account. I called my bank to cancel them but at last i got nothing to seem helpful from them. Just have to deal with them now. If there is anyone who khows exact right contact number plz help me

I GOT SCAMMED BY THEM AS WELL
i'm 18 and i was stupid. there must be some ruled against this to get them sued but im too young i dont even know how to sue.
firstly, in ALL the pages leading up to the payment (all the pages it goes through before you get there) there (on the origional site which it changed completely) there were NO TERMS AND CONDITIONS that said it would take $80 something dollars off you if you diddnt send it back within 14 days. it diddnt say that ANYWHERE. then after buying it i was lucky (but not really lucky) enough to find that it said it on this page somewhere in small print right at the bottom (Ts & Cs) and you diddnt even get to see that page before buying it. so most people would have got conned by there but i found the page.
SECONDLY, it told me clearly, with no writing saying otherwise EVEN IN TH TERMS AND C's, that it would charge me about one dollar for the whole thing because it wasd a free trial and i only had to pay for the postage. so i went through about 3 pages of it saying "we will debit you $1. something. and so i finally, after checking all of the pages fully for any cons, foolishly clicked OK because i thought that if it says its charging you a certain amount, legally, like a receipt, it HAS to charge you that amount, but no, it charged me about 12 dollars (the equivilent because im from england)

THE LAST BUT WORST THING:
it says if you don't return it within 14 days you get charged more than $85 dollars
(which is the equivilent of £50 something pounds as i saw on my bank statement eventually.)
Anyway, so ok you have to return it within 14 days,
OF PURCHASE!
IT TAKES THEM MORE THAN 30 DAYS TO SEND YOU IT!
even if you lived in the US and it took them a week to send it you wouldnt even have a chance to use it before you sent it back and even then it probably won't get to them in that time because they take weeks to sort through the parcels.
its been about 6 months and they still havnt given me a refund and they don't plan to

they did actually take about 30 days at least to post mine and i WOULD have got my refund but i diddnt because of this (and watch out for this one aswell)
you can send it to them perfectly, with your order number written on the front and everything, and the instructions followed perfectly, but if you don't pay a fiver to get an TRACKING number attatched to it from the post office. they simply "CAN'T FIND IT for you" (bollox)

anyway i hope this is a perfect warning. also the worst thing is (which i luckily saw in the terms) was that...

IT WILL KEEP TAKING LARGE SUMS OF MONEY OUT YOUR BANK if you don't contact them and let them know you want to cancel the subscription
-as soon as you buy it they put you into this "subscription" they don't tell you about. once they have taken the money off you you can't get it back. for people who don't check theyre statements (like me) it will go on for years.

Hi my name is Maria. I’d like to talk to anyone out there who ordered up the free trial offer from this company and got dinged for charges after… did it happen to you? Did you get your money back? You can e-maile me at maria7emmanuel@gmail.com

hi were can i called dazzelwhite? do you have any customer service numbers that i can called? i was scam to by dazzelwhite and charged $ 22.57 AUD and all i want is my money back or refunded i didnt even receive any product from them.
thank you..

From another sucker (one of whom is born everyday!) I thought I had cancelled all of the teeth whitening products on the phone and of course made the extra mistake of not keeping cancellation records, when our credit card company notified us of another 88.97 charge. I called the number provided by the credit card co and let the poor person on the other end have it! I'm usually such a nice person.

She said I could return each unopened package by a certain date and be credited the full charges. She would email me instructions but all I received was an acknowledgement that I'd cancelled. I called the number provided [protected]) and was told to:

Mail each product separately to:

Premium Whjite
22100 E. 26th Ave
Suite 11
Aurora CO
80019

Write the assigned order number you will receive from your phone call on each product and mail separately, insure each and obtain tracking numbers.

I HOPE this is the end of it!

I too have been stung - but due to travels have just found this out. Who do I need to contact to firstly stop the payments and then I will try for the money back next?

This "Lisa Beseler" comment above has been posted on a number of forums.

It's a lie.

Check out the site below, you will see it there amongst the scores of complaints about this product.

http://www.ozripoff.com/

They name this exercise "the worst scam of 2009".

Companies are not allowed to operate in this manner in Australia i.e. using deceptive conduct and signing you up for other products and services unassociated with the original product - it is in fact, illegal.

Given the number of complaints that can be found on the internet, why are the U.S. government allowing the people behind this scam to continue trading?

Why are the banks and credit cards companies allowing people's accounts to be continually pillaged by these "shonks"? They all know of the complaints by consumers.

I'm going down this line here in Australia.

For example, Australia Post, the national mail carrier - they are very much aware of the scam as Just Think Media use their facilities for the alleged returns process.

My question to them is "why are you permitting fraud on taxpayers premises?"

It has them running.

National current affairs programs are also on to this scam over here - hopefully you Americans and other nationalities caught up in this can get the same sort of exposure.

Personally, I won't stop until the people behind this scam are brought to justice, including the employees who know full well what is going on as we have all made the phone calls, sent emails, chatted "online" etc - and when that happens, we can all have the last laugh!

Can someone explain how the company gets your new credit card number? I just cancelled my current card due to this scam. And someone is stating that's still not enough! Where's the end to all of this MADNESS?

I think I've come across a similar scam. I saw an advert on Sheffield (UK) gumtree asking for product testers for a teeth whitening product. I don't have much money at the moment and looked into it because I figured I could maybe treat myself to a beauty treatment and make a little extra cash for Christmas.

They sent me this email:

"Important: Please Read

I was suspicious of:

1. The S&H charge which the original ad didn't mention.

2. The fee of 1200 which seemed excessive if there's minimal risk.

3. The warning not to contact the manafacturers of the product because they wouldn't know about the trial!

4. The address given, I googled it and only found somewhere that rents meeting rooms, no mention of the company! Googling the company name got nothing, which would fit with them changing it to avoid suspicion. I googled teeth whitening trials and found this, which seems familiar, especially since the scammers were traced to a UK address.

Now I'm concerned these people have my contact details, but thankfully not my card details!

I think it's important people know these scammers are also advertising on job websites.

Their website links to idol white so I've posted on a complaint about them but I'm also posting here because this has more people and the scam sounds very similar.

the commonwealth bank of australia has been inundated with calls from customers re this credit card scam for Dazzle White Pro and Acai Burn ... the bank told me this when i rang them.

Not Found

The requested document was not found on this server.

PLEASE PUT THEM OUT OF BUSINESS!
This is nothing more than a Ripoff... I've been billed Four (4) additional times for $79.28 even after I sent the product back within the 2 week trial... They claim to have a 60-day money back guarantee... Not before they rape your bank account first!

They need to be shut DOWN!

i have a friend who used to work at one of their call centers ..she said the only way you can get a refund is to get your bank to call them and let your bank (not you) request a refund. they will transfer you to someone else but you might be able to get a refund this way. also if you are calling yourself dont get mad at the operators...they actually dont have a refund button so they cant give you a refund so it does no good to argue with them it just wastes your time and theirs all they can do is read from a script...dont bother asking for a supervisor either. just have your bank call them and request a refund for you.

@Ruairi: The various companies involved claim we all agreed to the Terms & Conditions clearly laid down when we placed our orders. The product I agreed to 'Trial' has now disappeared from the 'Net along with it's webpage and Terms & Conditions. This makes it tricky for them to maintain I agreed to anything as it will be very simple for them to alter anything they wish to suit the situation. I've written to my bank today, supplying as much information about the various 'names' involved and asking that any further unauthorized withdrawals be subjected to a chargeback. Thank you for the information you provided.

@Honest hard-working American: So sorry you've fallen foul of these people. Please don't let it drop, report them to every agency you can and post on every forum of which you're a member. Perhaps we can save some other poor soul from becoming entangled in this mess. There's no need to feel foolish at all, these people thrive on people who are trusting and are very good at what they do. I've bought hundreds of items from the 'Net over the years and this is the first time I've been cheated. I'm fortunate that no goods arrived, therefore, the company was in breach of its contract with me. I maintain that because of this they have no right to pass on my personal information to other parties. It would appear that the goods and services offered are a by-product and the main aim is to acquire a healthy list of credit card numbers. Always check that the principal players in these Trial offers are of previous good character. Searching for such information can be quite an eye-opener.

Before putting anything in one's mouth or on one's face it's prudent to check that the product has been fully tested to the correct standards otherwise the results could be disastrous.

All these 'trial' products appear to be charged at the same price - how odd. No proper trial can be given to any product when the 14 day trial begins the moment the order is placed and the goods have to be returned before the end of the period. International customers have no chance of complying unless they turn the goods around on arrival.

Delivery of the product I wanted to 'trial' was between 4 to 7 days - 4 days from the US to the UK is very unlikely to happen and for those in Australia and New Zealing its a non starter even though some say their product was dispatched from within those countries. Fortunately my goods never arrived and I cancelled immediately. Two 'names' attempted to take over £50 from my account on the same day but my vigilant bank's fraud department blocked them both; they were known to them apparently. Even though no contract existed between myself and the original company from whom I ordered, others completely unknown to me have withdrawn money for what I have no idea. I've received no goods or services neither have I received any form of contact from anyone and, therefore, am unable to cancel. My original product is now no longer available and the advertisement/website has been removed so any further attempt to check the devious terms and conditions is futile. Unfair trading - certainly! I've reported the companies concerned to every agency I can find and all monies withdrawn from my account are currently the subject of 'dispute.'

If you get hit with all of the charges call your bank and have them suspend your card so that you dont get any further charges and then you will have to go to the bank and get a temporary card. But dont let time pass you by.

Yea well this stupid company (if you can call them that) took my money. NOw they dont want to give me my money back. I had to block my bank account because they kept charging it and I have no idea what it was. And yes now I have to pay for this crap that was a "free" trial and pay out of my pocket to send it back. This really suckes because they take people's rent money for their enjoyment with their stupid false advertisement.

@ FantasticFreck: Thank you for the www.fraud.org info, I shall report the Clear Lift Ultra deception to them as they are all owned by the same organization that thinks its perfectly reasonable to cancel a contract (issuing a cancellation number) but still to pass on personal information to third parties. One might think the only reason for the so-called 'Free Trials' is to gain access to card numbers/addresses but, of course, that can't possibly be the case can it? I've already lodged a complaint with the Office of Fair Trading (UK), Fraudwatch International, econsumer.gov a Cross-border Agency that deals with such unfair trading and several more interested parties. The more people who draw attention to these sharp practices the better. I'm posting warnings on every forum I can and hopefully between us all we can save others from the worry we've been caused. I'm being leeched upon for no good reason at all - I have no contract with any of these people - a contract is agreed between parties for the payment of goods and/or services received - I've received nothing at all. It will be a very long time before I let this one go.

I just came back from UPS to ship the package back to Cleanwhite. It cost almost $10! I didn't even try and sent back. Here I have a question. I cancelled both Cleanwhite and Dazzlewhite on the phone and Dazzlewhite gave me a cancellation #. I haven't received the Dazzlewhite package yet but the shipping fee is pending on my credit card.

Please anybody advice. What else do I need to do from here? Both shipping fee has been somehow pending on my credit card and no other charge so far (my order was 11/23 and today is 12/1). Dazzlewhite, they sent me an email about my address was incomplete and I replied the proper address but that email seemed to be undelivered because it returned to me. I explained it to the customer service when I get the cancellation #.

Am I charged for anything else next by next like other people on this thread mentioned? Where am I supposed to call to cancel what?
