Essence of Argan
reviews and complaints

They will not notify you when your free trial is finished, it won't bring them any benefits if they do. So many people were charged the full amount just because they didn't cancel the free trial.
Calling them and proving something is useless, they will throw their policies in your face and use them against you. They are very shady and sneaky, I don't recommend using them. Stay far away.

This company practises the most egregious form of misleading advertising. First they promise to forward to you trial versions of wrinkle-free cream marketed by Mark Zuckerberg's wife. This turns out to be completely false. Instead they ask you to place an order instead for a free bottle of essence of organ oil and a jar of idrotherapy wrinkle-free cream, with you paying only the shipping costs They rush you these samples within a week. However, part of their ploy is that if you do not complain about the order within a period of two weeks, they will charge you some $83 US for the small bottle of oil and a whopping $93.00 US for the small jar of cream. I have never seen misleading advertising on such a grand scale. Buyers Beware. Do not even press their button. All fraudulent! I misplaced the bottle of organ oil and now they want to charge me $93 US! This is a scam of the grossest proportions! They should cancel the charges and not require me to send the bottle back.

3/8/2017 I noticed two unusual transactions out of my account for $130 and $130, I went to the bank to find more info.
I recently lost my wallet and I'm presuming somebody has used my details for this product. I have not order this product nor have a received any products. I do not use nor can I afford this kind of product nor mistake. Please help me get my hard earnt money back. I'm flat out looking after and feeding my 3 children without this happening. I have notified The complaints team of my bank to help get MY money bank.
Please help me ASAP or I may have yo take legal action

I am usually very alert to scams but admit I was conned by this one. My (new) wife encouraged me to order a free sample (only had to pay the postage) for “Try-Arganoil, Dublin”, yes the sample arrived but so did subsequent charges to my account. They had illegally taken out amounts of around $135 and $123 (as well as the postage for the ‘free’ sample amounting to $9.53. In total I paid for three lots (including the free sample) but received only two. So I was doublably scammed. To make matters worse, this company obviously passed on my bankcard details to a fellow scammer (or the same scammer using another product and business name) whom sent and charged my account as “Idrotherapy Skin Charleville” despite never been in contact with them at all. They deducted two lots of around $150 each for a skin cream not ordered. i am only sorry I didn’t read this particular website before purchasing this ‘free sample’.
ALL THE ADVICE GIVEN ABOVE IS CORRECT – THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THIS IS TO CONTACT YOUR BANK AND LODGE A FORMAL COMPLAINT RE FRAUD. THE BANK WILL PROCESS A CLAIM FOR REFUND BUT BASICALLY RELIES ON THE HONESTY OF THE SCAMMER WHO SCAMMED to return the monies! What chances might I have? Very little. ALL WE CAN THEREFORE DO IS TO STOP FURTHER DEDUCTIONS BY CANCELLING THE CARD, WITH LITTLE CHANCE OF RECOVERING WHAT WE HAVE HAD TAKEN OUT.
The Arganoil scam is difficult to pursue criminally as they were willingly provided with my credit card details. However, the Idrotherapy Skin is FRAUDULENT (and criminal) as no communication or authorization had been given to use my credit card. Hence the physical shipping supplier (for both suppliers) is shown as Fulfillment Center, 22-24 Wonderland Drive, Eastern Creek, NSW 2766 although I suspect are separate and independent, nevertheless they are complicit in committing a fraud and should be subject to a breach of the NSW Crimes Act – an official police complaint in the NSW jurisdiction is being considered

Dear Sir/Madam,

Your Irish contact number does not work at all. My name is Sylvia Nagle, Address: Castlebar Physiotherapy Acupuncture Clinic, Knockthomas, Carlow, Ireland. Stupidly, I asked for a sample of your product online to find that you have taken unauthorised monies out of my bank account! and have been doing so for a number of months.
Please stop posting products to me that I have no interest in and do not take any further monies out of my bank account!
You can contact me at [protected]@eircom.net to inform me when you have taken me off your books.

Hoping to hear from you soon.

Regards,

from a very irate Sylvia Nagle.

I was not aware that l would be charged huge amounts from my card.
Used the products a couple of times and didnt like the smell or feel.
Was told l recieved an email regarding time limit to return product...but went and looked again..l never got that email.
I honestly thought it was for 6.00.
So l go to the supermarket to buy some groceries and guess what...l have no money its been taken right out of my account.
I do not work due to illness and this is money l cannot afford to disappear.
To say lm dissapointed would be an understatement.
Im going everywhere l can to warn people about this..
Very shifty indeed.
Also your stupid staff are rude.

Hello. I have ordered a lip care package from Essence of Argan website. It was an on sale item but they charged the regular price. I contacted their customer care service right away and they said that there was some kind of error and promised to fix everything. They said that I'll be refunded a price difference within a couple of days. Three days later I contacted them again and asked about my money and their rep said that money was transferred and suggested me to contact my bank. When I called my bank I was told that no one sent anything to my account.
I am very disappointed with Essence of Argan, that is not a good way to do business. If they would have said that they need more time I would understand! There was no need to lie! Horrible!

My mistake was that I did not spend any time reading the reviews, otherwise I would never sign up for this scam! I subscribed for a trial and it cost me $10, later they charged me $80! When I contacted customer service they said that I was supposed to cancel my subscription, but since I did not do that they automatically signed me up and took the full amount. I asked them to cancel my account and they did that but never gave my money back. Don't make the same mistake I did and avoid this scam business!

Didn't realize 75 euro taken out of my a/c on the 6th June 16 until I looked at statement of 7th June.
I phoned my bank but too late to cancel payment and get returned.
Also supposedly took up a monthly subscription and an a/c I definitely did not sign up for.
Would request refund of 65 euro and cancel of so called subscription. And cancellation of monies been taken out of my a/c monthly. Disgusted at the scam they are playing for a 9.99 small bottle of Aragon.
looking up the sight, they are telling people this is a scam that I got myself into.

I order a battle of this product for the advertised reduced price of $5, and after 2 weeks my credit card was charged $88. When I called I was told that in the fine print I was giving them permission to sign me up for a monthly subscription and to charge me the full amount for this product. Though I realize that not reading the fine print carefully was a mistake on my part, I think that it is unfair for companies to continue to take advantage of people by putting these sorts of details about the real price of the product in the fine print. I would like to worn all future customers to be ware of this company: Essence of Argan.

I ordered free trial of the skin care product from the website www.essenceofargan.com. It was horrible experience, ‘coz I paid only $3.99 as it was trial, but after 3 weeks the seller charged my card for $98.78. WTF? I really tried to contact the seller, but this jerk ignored me. I’m afraid that this jerk will charge me again. I wonder if there are people, who had the same thing. Maybe you can advise me how to stop these withdrawals. Please post your ideas and comments. Thanks.
