Afternoon team

I am writing to complain about your on line ordering..

I put my name down for a "free tiral" of the Hydrolze eye cream. There was a a transaction of $2.82 that came out of my account on 29/12/15, which included foreign currency amount. Code: [protected]. I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED THIS 'FREE SAMPLE". When I was looking at my bank account this week I noticed another transaction on the 11/12/16 with the same code & HYD*TRYHROLYZE.COM for $101.20. When I saw this I rang your 1800 number & spoke to a female staff member, when I said to her that I had never received the free sample so why was your company charging me this massive amount. I DID NOT GIVE YOU PERMISSION TO TO SO! She asked me my name & address & said that she had someone with my name but not the address which I had given for the free trial to be sent to.

I was so annoyed about this. Then I noticed on the 12/02/16 the very next day another transaction had been taken out of my account once again, for $101.43 same number sequence though the name reads HYD*Bellapex.

As I have NOT agreed for you to take all this money & I have absolutey nothing to show for it I need TO CANCEL THIS & HAVE THIS MONEY PLACED BACK INTO MY ACCOUNT. OR SEND ME A CHEQUE AS I HAVE CLOSED THIS ACCOUNT DOWN NOW!

My phone number is: [protected] (Aust). I have been quite unwell over the past 6 months & have had to give up work so I desperately need to have these funds returned to my account, in order for me to pay my daily living expenses.

Hoping to hear from you with 7 days or further action will need to be taken. I can't give you an invoice number/photos as I have mentioned I didn't receive anything.

Many thanks Kate Hickey.

The company you were called from was infact not hydrolyze. It is a marketing company that Hydrolyze sold your information to in order to market you. They will tell you that "They are contracted by hydrolyze to confirm your order & insure accuracy." aka Order Confirmation Department. Basically what they do is they call your number, confirm they are talking to the person that made the purchase and proceed to go on with their marketing.

I had the same thing happen to me. I remember initially when I ordered the hydrolyze, they asked me for my credit card number multiple times (4) and I thought it was a little odd that any legitimate company would need to repeatedly ask that. I ended up sedning the product back without opening it as I was told to do and I thought everything was cool. They assured me my money would be refunded and I wouldnt be charged anymore. 4 months later I found out that not only had they not given me the money back for my inital order (22.95), they had signed me up for three additional services that i did not ask for (THIS MUST BE WHY THEY ASKED FOR THE CREDIT CARD NUMBER 4 TIMES). The unauthorized charges totaled $252.61. The names of the three services were shoppers advantage(21.95), WC savings (29.95) and great fun (19.99). I confronted Hydrolyze about this and the rep I talked to said "Oh yeah, it looks like we didn't refund the money. I'll have to check with my supervisor to see if we can still refund it. It will take 3-5 business days." "We do have third party services but the three you mentioned don't ring a bell." -Tim Ext 782 ( customer service representative/Grade A [censored]bag and a half). I had to get my credit card company to dispute the charges for me. Long story short, DONT EVER DO BUSINESS WITH THESE PEOPLE! And if you do, check your credit card statement IMMEDIATELY for additional services and/or unauthorized charges.

hydrolyze CHARGES,AFTER/PRODUST RETURNED

The product was ordered from a tv ad. the product was to be mailed but would not be charged to your account if returned before the 31of the month.I returned the product In the middle or the month all I was to pay was 7.95 to be charged to my credit card.they would not take a electronic check or a debit card only a credit card.I see now that was so they could charge for postage and the productt also they also said the would send a beauty book free.After returning the package I was charged for the product and 59.65+ 7.95 for postage 24.95 for beauty book two charges for 1.50 ea they said for beauty advice I should have been charged only for the postage. Thet ony give you a ship from address, which is where I returned the package, with a returned receipt requested.After trying to contact them by phone with no answer just music playing for three hrs.I called my cc, company and she tried to get them while I was still on the phone with the same result that I had.After hanging up my mail was delivered and they had sent anothjer package I have also returned it and informed my cc company not to take anymore charges from them.I am very angry because I am a senior citizen and have a fixed income and they have just cut down the amount of one of my checks. I think they should change the name of the company to HIDE YOUR LIES.

hydrolyze Overcharged & entered into a program

On 1/30/2011 I ordered the risk free trial of Hydrolyze. I was supposed to be charged $7.95 for shipping. When I received my package I was surprised to find 3 bottles of Hydrolyze and an invoice for $138.85. I checked my credit card and they not only overcharged me for the trial but also billed me for $1.50 twice for YourBeautyAdvisor. I had no idea who they were. I called and explained to them what had happened and they said I had ordered the 3 bottles and also joined the program of YourBeautyAdvisor. This is a Hydroxatone program also. I told her I only ordered the trial and never joined the program and that I had never heard of it until it showed up on my credit card. She said she would cancel and credit the 2 $1.50 charges but would have to have products back before she could refund my money. DO NOT TRUST THESE PEOPLE!

hydrolyze payment

I ordered the free trial and was charged 132.00 the very same day. I fixed my problem of refund because they illegally took money not autorized. They gave me a refund withinn 5 days.

When you call you must tell them that if they do not refund your money you will get a lawyer and charge them for credit card fruad because that is what it is.
trh this and you will get your money back.

don't send the product until you recieve your refund and give them a deadline of 5 days.

good luck and never give in to thier scheme of things, keep control, after all it is your money.

I am going see a lawyer tomorrow. and i will report them to anyone and everyone i possibly can! And the product DOES NOT WORK! AT ALL! I wish i would have read this before i did the free trial!

hydrolyze unfair practices

Purchased product back in November or 2010 cancelled in December of 2010. the representive did not inform me that the products had to be returned. Then in January I was hit for 69.95. After calling them about this deduction from account, i was informed my money would not be returned. I was informed by representive to return the product. Hydrolyze feel they have no responsibility to inform their customers when they call to cancel to return the product. Second there is no way to use up to two bottles of this stuff in 30 days, and they know that. This is how they get their customers. This company is a total rip off and they are not customer friendly. BEWARE OF THIS COMPANY AND THEIR UNFAIR BUSINESS PRACTICES. THEY FEEL ITS OKAY TO TAKE YOUR MONEY

hydrolyze ripoff

What a ripoff and a hugely expensive one at that. The so-called "free" trial is not free at all as they ship two containers of the product and then bill you a month later, even after you have repeatedly canceled future shipments. An affiliate company, Urban Nutrition, sends coupons in the order for "free" samples (NO BILLING) and I made the mistake of ordering "Venacura" andthe invoice enclosed with the order indicated $0.00 due. However, two months later, a charge shows up on my credit card. I contacted the company five times by email, and finally received a ridiculous response (and I quote):
"...If you did not receive it, contact the USPS, maybe someone took the package, tampering with the U.S. Mail is a federal offense. I strongly advise you follow up with them. "
Notice they did not respond as to why I was billed for a FREE sample, no future orders shipped or received.
Of course, after more corresondence, someone finally advised that they have "no record of any free item" - how convenient when it came from THEIR catalog! Oh and Hydrolyze absolutely does NOTHING to improve dark circles, wrinkles, etc. - wonder how much the people who give (fake) testimonials are paid.

hydrolyze It is not free! 2 containers @ 69.95 ea

I responded to an ad in May 2010 which was for a free Hydrolyze, under eye treatment from Hydroxatone. They sent two containers, not one. I was billed today 8/4/2010 for the two containters @ 69.95 ea. The person I spoke to from this company was also very rude. Please let everyone know that nothing is free; you will get charged! The small print is you have 30 days to return or you will have to pay which I didn't catch. I learned an expensive lesson.

hydrolyze Doesn't work

I ordered the TRIAL of Hydrolyze then received three jars of the product in the mail, and my account was charged for $147+. I have used one whole jar of Hydrolyze, and still have dark circles under my eyes. I think Johnson's Baby Cream, or Mary Kay Hand Cream does more than Hydrolyze. I need a refund of my purchase. Please locate the transaction on your records and issue a refund. Thank You.

hydrolyze Unable to cancel, aggressive marketing tequnics

One: I have ordered it after hearing the ad on a radio and made a compulsive call(slap on a head), while ordering a trial, the sales rep was pushing a ton of other "goodness", including a "premium fast" handling and shipping. Of course as I tried to get the details, she was talking over my head with her sales mambo jumbo, and I actually repeatedly told her to stop with no noticeable effect. So anyway I decided to proceed to the end to try to make sure I haven't got all the extras.

Two: After the call, with an already a bad feeling, I went online to figure this one out, and stumbled across the complaints board. Immediately I tried to cancel, the product rep(a higher echelon of sales people -- all claim they use the product themselves, yeah right) told me my order wasn't in the system yet. Ok, and so I waited, a week later I got an order confirmation call, I tried to cancel as well, no luck, apparently the order confirmation people can not cancel orders, aha. Called another product rep, no way the order can be canceled, since it's already confirmed, and en route.

Finally: Went online to check my online banking, surely enough there was a temporary merchant confirmation, luckily no amount was charged yet. Called the bank, canceled the card, got a new number. Done

P.S. watch out fellow consumers, this one is tricky.

I ordered the so called free trial and ended up with 2 jars of eye cream. I had already cancelled my card having seen this site just after falling for their trap. I had to wait over a month for the stuff to arrive, they sent it to New Zealand instead of Australia. So I started the trial late, they wanted to charge me for cancelling late but I said no I'm not paying for any of it. I don't see why I have to return their stuff at my expense when I didn't order two months worth. I've a mind to send it back COD! My advice be firm, don't give in to pressure, if you have to, cancel your card. IT IS NOT A FREE TRIAL!

Ordered the " free sample" about 3 months ago. I was charged right away for " shipping" fees, etc.
I know I was hoping it might actually work & might actually be free... except for shipping, You get my drift.
Never received the product & cannot find any resource to get this rectified.
After reading all the online reviews, maybe I dodged a bullet!

I had purchased hydrolyze to see if it would help with the puffiness of my eyes. After 2 weeks there weren't any satisfactory results. However, a side effect from the product caused 2 small cysts under my left eye, & 1 small cyst under my right eye. I am now in the process of trying to get the cyst taken care of.

I had no idea who they were and why they were billing me. I called Hydroxatone and they claimed I had ordered the 3 bottles and joined the YourBeautyAdvisor when I called for free trial. I told them to immediately cancel the YourBeautyAdvisor, and I was returning the Hydrolyze. She claimed to have cancelled the YourBeauty Advisor and when receives Hydrolyze will credit my account.

hydrolyze Cannot Cancel

I tried the product for 26 days as it says on it's ad to return before 30 days. The product did not work removing my dark circles. So when I called, the first person said he had to transfer me to customer service. The second person said that he had to transfer me to customer service. I said that I thought he was customer service. He said "Oh No, I'm not" and really quickly gave me another phone number and hung up on me. When I called that number, it was for Verizon Wireless. Then about a couple of days later, they charged me $69.95 which I cannot afford and is way overpriced for that little bit of cream.

Hydrolyze! Wow, I just ordered this product last night (08/22/10. I didn't have a good feeling about this company since all they due after they receive your credit card is offer you other products and then more products. You don't even speak with a live rep. It's all automated. I went online to get info on the company. Not good. I then tried to cancel the order that's not even 24 hours after ordering. I got a big run-around. I cancelled my bank card. If I'm going to lose any money, $7.95 is a small fee for a lesson learned. They can mail me a check! I'll sit a wait for that one! LOL

Hydrolyze is all hype -- I used it for 4 weeks and did NOT see ANY change what-so-ever. Also, there is barely enough cream in the container to make it a true 30 day supply -- the container itself is huge compared to how much product is inside. I'm TRYING to cancel future orders but not really getting any where. I would hate to cancel my credit card just so I don't get charged any more, but I'm about ready to go that route. I understand those who produce this stuff think it's great -- at least a great money making marketing product -- but they really should have expected people to see the product for what it really is, and make it a LOT easier to cancel when they see it does NOT work.

hydrolyze Billing & Customer Service

I called several days before I returned the product that I tried. The same month and the month after that I got billed for the products. I called them and asked them why they were still billing me and they said that they did not get the products back but I did return it. The sales rep instead of being helpful seemed really impatient and was not being very helpful as to how I could get my money back. The product was not cheap. The next sales rep told me he was doing me a favor when I asked for my money back when he said he can give me some refund but not all.

They also keep sending me products that I did not order. I might as well change my card since this company is so persistent in billing me even after I called to cancel.

This is a lesson learned. I will never ever try any products that has the catch line "try it for free."

The same thing happened to me. I received the product at my post office box and I did not want it. I brought it to the counter and asked them how to return it. She told me to write Refused on the package and I did, I never even opened it. A few weeks later I called Hydrolyze to see if they had received it, they said no. A few weeks later, NO! ANd so it goes. They told me to go to the post office and ask what happened to the package. I did, they told me Hydrolyze only pays for one scan so they don't scan it on the return. This company is a total rip off. The product is no better than anything you can buy at Walmart, and this "not receiving it and blaming it on the post office" is a total scam! DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!

hydrolyze Did not receive product

This company is running a scam! I ordered my product and did not receive it. They claimed (lied) that I put the wrong address. I offered to fax them my copy to show the correct address that I entered from the internet.. they put on a 'phony manager" who said they could not help me. I too was given a tracking number- the post office showed they had sent the product back to the company...so not only did they recieve my money they got back their product. SHAME ON HYDROLYZE FOR RUNNING A SCAM-BUSINESS IN AMERICA--OR MAYBE IN SOME THIRD WORLD COUNTRY. I want my money back for the SO-CALLED FREE TRIAL (cost $8.84.) Do not buy this product from this company. Very rude and unhelpful customer service on top of everthing else.

Now the Hydrolyze Company is trying to be real slick. They have a computer answer the phone and get all of your info. Its not til almost at the very end of the call that they inform you of the $7.95 s/h fee. So before ending the call a live person came on and I informed her to cancel my order and that I didn't want to proceed. She said ok and thanked me anyway. 2 days later I saw a charge on my bank account for $7.95. That very night I received a phone call from a representative Thanking me for my purchase. I informed her that I had cancelled that order before the original phone call had ended. She told me I'd have to call a different number for help and that the office was closed for the day. I called the next day and supposedly spoke with a manager (Dimario#537). I explained my situation to him. He said it was too late because the product was already in route. He gave me the return address and said he was refunding my $7.95 so that I could send back the box when it arrived. He never mentioned me needing a RMA#. I decided to google "Hydrolyze Complaints" today and found several ppl with my same complaint. One of them said her returned product was supposedky lost because she didn't have a RMA#. So I called customer service again. This time I spoke w/ Kay(#570). She gave me a RMA# to put on the package. So, I'm on my way to the post office in and hour to return this unopened box. Hhmmm wonder if I'll really receive my $7.95 back. I pln to notify my Credit Union not to accept any charges from that company. What a unnecesarry headache!

I got burned by a similar scam last year with some vitamins. Please, keep all of your proof s from orders and immedietly contact your State's Attorney general, You can find them on the internet. Also contact the Attorney General in the State that they are doing business from. You should ask for a full refund. It won't hurt to mention to the Hydrolyze company that you are going to do this. They usually don't want to be investigated and give you a refund. Follow through it takes about 6 weeks but works every time!

The crooks won't get another dime out of me because I used a prepaid credit card and I think there's only about a dollar left on the card, and I'm sure they don't want just one dollar lol. This company should be investigated by the law, they even have the nerve to want you to return the "free" jars even if you don't like the product, and then pay another S&H charge! They must be out of their ever lasting minds! What do they plan on doing with empty jars anyway? Gonna reuse them?! Get out of here with that!

Folks, as others have said, you can avoid ripoffs like this by obeying one very simple rule: NEVER give your credit card number out for any product unless you KNOW what the final charges will be ahead of time. This is how these companies make millions of dollars from sales of obviously inferior products. Once they have your credit information, you are screwed. They know you aren't going to sue them for $100.00. Think of it this way: Would you go to a department store and buy a new pair of shoes if the total price wasn't marked on the shoes? Would you buy them if you asked the clerk the total price and he/she said, "First, give me your credit card and then I'll tell you the price>" ? PLEASE just use your common sense. Most of the products you see on TV can be purchased at Wal-Mart or other stores with NO postage and handling, usually much, much cheaper than on TV. It's just a shame that people continue to be scammed this way. Will we ever learn?

This is the same company that has been going for years and still successfully ripping of people. They change the name of the product on a regular basis. I got caught 3 years ago. Make sure you check your credit card for any other strange transactions that are occurring. They are only small but will add up in time. I had to cancel my credit card. I am sad that there are still these types of vultures out there.

Someone said that you have to check customers reviews on the product.
Well, I know for a fact, that companies hire others( world wide) to post reviews for their products, hotels, restaurants, clothing, any products out there, that are so positive, seems encouraging, and authentic sounding, that you believe the comments...when in fact, those are lies being made up to sell the products and services. Be ware!

Terrible invasion of privacy. Dishonest scam. Scary too.
They con you into joining by e mailing and pretending someone (a name, age and town) is searching for you. Repeating this, they send countless e mails "Someone is searching for YOU" - so my curiosity was peeked, I joined "mylife.com". Monthly membership.
I have tried endless times to cancel. But, they recharge my account with a new web name.
As, horror of horrors - somehow you inadvertently join all their sub species ...(MANY) so when you try to cancel the automatic payment you somehow are now a member of "mylifesingles" or some other site filled with "bottom feeders" - who have all your information at their fingertips.
Of course - NO ONE was looking for me, that is the lure and when I complained and told them it was a "SCAM" they said "No. Someone was looking for a person with your name." I explained that they had e mailed me PERSONALLY telling me that "Someone was searching for ME!" Not that, "Someone was searching for a person with my name".
Far worse, it automatically gets into all your social networks, so my Facebook etc was on line for any one who went into "Mylife" or any of it's many unstoppable tentacles.
The photo's of the men who had "searched" for me (or as they say "shown interest") and facilitated my Facebook etc were so scary that they came out of central casting "REALLY FREAKY OLD MEN, who have not shaved for 4 years" (thank goodness it was not a "Scratch and Sniff") and I seemed unable to remove my details.
They also kept sending me very personal details about other people I knew - far
too much information - addresses, phone numbers, ex husbands whereabouts etc.
So I changed - with ease (a worry?) my name and age and town.
Finally when I got a human to answer their phone - they said it would take up to 10 days for the whole thing to evaporate. The man I spoke to really tried to argue with me and defend their actions! I am suspicious though, as I think when you cancel "www.mylife" (you are told you are now paying for something like "www.datesingles") the next web name - just takes over. I was never looking to date - just find an old friend.
It is very nasty - dishonest and invasive. Has far too much info on people and should be called "Mystalker.com".
STAY AWAY.

I have just been bullied by a computer for half an hour - while simply attempting to get my "Free Trial".
Then, they put me through to a magazine ordering scam and the woman I spoke to was not only RUDE but had no idea what the face cream was, I started with, and tried to sell me 3 "Free" magazines. She did not know why I had been transferred to her. Kept saying
"As I am trying to explain to you, but you are interrupting."
I repeatedly requested to speak to a manager - such a person does not exist.
NEVER EVER call them.
It is a crazy, unknown amount (once handling, shipping etc - however many times you say "NO") and never ceasing diatribe of "offers" which I am sure rack up and you can never escape.
Parent Company is www.programstock.com and Russian!
I have contacted bank and stopped payment.

I ordered the Product after hearing a radio ad and thought I'd try the "free" sample... This was on a Sunday 2/6/2011. It is now Tuesday 2/8/2011 and I read all of the complaints. I called customer service and canceled EVERYTHING! I asked for confirmation of cancellation in writing and "Noel" the guy I spoke with asked me how he was supposed to send it to me. I told him email and he said okay that I would recieve it by the end of the day. Again, today is Tuesday 2/8/2011. I am in the process of buying a house and dont know what to do to ensure they not charge me anything. Please help!

Thank you all for this information. I was thisclose to purchasing this item after seeing a television ad that they were celebrating their 'millionth jar giveaway' by giving out risk-free trials. But buyers also beware, immediately after the commercial was a similar tv ad for Caltryxa (may be spelled incorrectly), another risk free trial designed for removing stretch marks; after calling the number I was told that you need to pay a $7.95 fee. But again, thank you all, I am truly happy that I wasn't duped by these companies and their scamming tactics.

This company is a total scam! I have no recourse save paying for a product I thought was a 'free trial" Their CS department are quite adept at dealing with angry suckers like me, "Just read the fine print once you follow the yellow brick road to it and you will see that you agreed to all the terms. Thank you and go to hell!" Is there any class action talk regarding their unethical practices? I'd dearly love to be involved.
