Alta White (Scam)

Was a mug and fell for the free trial offer. Sent for Alta White and dazzlesmile as a free trial. I was initially charged more than expected for P&P.
I have not even received the trial for altawhite and have tried, unsuccessfully (SURPRISE SURPRISE!!!!!) to contact them by email and phone. Both companies have now stung me for £190 before I realised and cancelled my card. An expensive lesson to learn!!!!!!!
DONT FALL FOR IT, IF I STOP ONE PERSON FROM BEING SCAMMED I WILL FEEL A LITTLE BETTER.

i have retuned the product as requested on the9/11 09 by recorded delivery you have taken £80.57 from my account you stated if it was retuned unopened/unused within 7 days i would not be charged this was done so i await my refund as soon as possible yours

Tommy I am sooo angry right now! I too was duped by MSN and have today been charged £50.34 two weeks ago £80.38..I feel to scream!!!!!!!!!!! I have alta white and dazzle smile both taking the mick out of me, Alta white have said I ned to return the product for a refund..what product havent received nothing!!!! Im so angry and I have a newborn baby so basically I feel like a fool for letting this happen to me. Absolutely baffled as to what to do

This is a scam, do not touch it. To get out of it send an email to support@healthbuy.com. Tell them to cancel your membership and ask for a cancellation ID number. If any further money is taken from your account, this is your proof that it has been cancelled.

Guys You have the right for upto 180 days if you feel you have been fraudulently charged or are unhappy with the product this is law and if anyone says any different then they are breaking the law themselves, this works for only Visa debit or credit card so dont let some stupid card controllor lie and blag you remember they are there to minimise costs to themselves and the merchant, they will blag away and make you feel stupid like its your fault and plead deniability dont let them threaten them with lawyers or close the account they wont like either, then might start to be helpful, first things first though cancel you card and get a new one this will stop any extra charges so the COn artists can sign you up and up too as many products as they like all they'll get is invalid invalid invalid, just make sure the bank closes the active card because they generally dont stop the old card for thirty days after unless it was stolen!!!! just a tip found out today at the bank. if you need proof of chargeback which the consumer magazine has nice section about it on this link http://www.which.co.uk/advice/your-rights-when-paying-by-credit-card/chargeback-on-credit-and-visa-debit-cards/index.jsp

seriously give it a gander and get your money back dont let the B******s
win and seriously add your story to the guy in the link in my previous post and hopefully we'll get them shut down once and forall

Good luck

Hi everyone,

I too have been scammed by these theives. I have been trying for days to get a phone number someone will either answer or has not been disconnected. What I just found out was this company and it's partner company also automatically sign you up to other products! I have been signed up to a world club fitness and a diet plan. Both will take further money from your account. These are another £80 each so they will take at least £340 per month from you account! AVOID!!!!

I have just noticed an £80+ payment being debited from my account from this company. I was convinced by the reviews that had been left on a Consumer Review website detailed on MSN! I am so frustrated that I have been scammed by this company. I have NOT contacted the company as of yet (only noticed debit today) and don't feel confident in getting a hold of them after reading the reviews. However, I have cancelled my debit card with my bank and was advised to contact them if I have no luck with the actual company. I would be interested to hear if the company will cancel the subscription if you are outwith the 14 days. I DO NOT want to receive more of the products as decided NOT to even use the free trial.

SCAM SCAM SCAM SCAM SCAM SCAM SCAM SCAM SCAM SCAM SCAM SCAM

At no time throughtout the buying process was it mentioned to me that I would be automatically enrolled into a lifetime membership of £80 every 30 days. This is hidden at the bottom of the T&C's this is Fraud It is not plainly stated please follow this link to find out if like me you were duped http://www.killphishing.com/scam.htm They also dont tell you about the international handling fee!!!!!! This put me over my overdraft limit and now I have to pay my bank £50 for the privelage What a con and to believe this product was advertised on MSN homepage!!!!!!!! shame on MSN

this product is so crap, it is completely rubish, and i mean rubbbish i tried it, there is absolutley no difference and it may even have made my teeth look worse. do not be tricked by their adverisements because this product is not what it says on the packaging. i hope you read this before you buy it because it is a waste of your money. good luck, don't let these idiots trick you. it doesn't work well at all but you have to tick it because it is compulsary

Today is my 14th day so last chance to unsubscribe ,I called the office -no problem, and I just asked if it definatley is ONLY one payment of $99.95, and next time I order I will only pay for shipping and handling. And yes that is what it is, also I was told that if I decide to stay with them they will refund me half of the price. So in my opinion $45 and next $10 for next order is worth it. It really works I used it 4 times and my teeth looks great already ! :) Plus you can make some money on it... u can sell it to other people who do not want to subscribe... I am staying in , I am really happy with the product so much easier then trays and gel...

I 'bought' the free trial and have been unable to cancel my 'membership'. I have spent hours on the internet and on the phone (it is never answered).
What must I do? Anybody got any ideas.
The product is lying unused in my bathroom as it looks like rubbish!! Instructions read blah blah ....smile for 15 minutes!!! Sorry but I don't have the time or the energy!!

i cancelled the trial offer pretty quickly, so i wont be charged any more, thank god, did not see results as i have to send back the open pack, so i paid £11.99 shipping and now i have to post it back,£5, you getting nothing free in this free trial, learned my lesson

I received the 14 day trial offer for Dazzle Smile & Alta White. The only thing you NEED to make sure you do is cancell the contract after taking the offer and there will be no problems. Product works reasonably well, but, hey, what do you expect for a cheap home product! Very Practable and easy to use. The only down side is that i had to pay (@ around 5 brittish squid) shipping cost. good job ive been working those extra shifts on da corner!

ALTA WHITE, DAZZLE WHITE, CELEBRITY SMILE, and all the rest are all SCAMS... HUNDREDS of them--- all part of the same organization.

Read the investigation report at www.killphishing.com/scam.htm

I got the trial and had no problem canceling...They have a link to click on called "Cancel Free Trial" right at the bottom of the page. You just put in your order ID and you are all set.

I'm trying to get Alta White's fax number at least their phone number. Fax would be best

It's a scam. Avoid. It's just peroxide.

I don't think this product is a scam. I must say, it IS a bit expensive, but let's face it...they state exactly how and when they are going to charge you.

As for results. I have had pretty good results with their teeth whitening stuff. Anything else would have costed me an arm and a leg! I think it's worth it.

But that's just my opinion. Blatantly stating a product is a scam is a bit harsh. I'm a consumer and don't like to be scammed, but I think this was a straight shooter for me.

We ALMOST bought this product, then had the sense to read the 'Satisfaction Guarantee' which really is more of a 'Terms & Conditions'!! Check out the following statement.....

At the end of your RISK FREE TRIAL, you will be enrolled into our Lifetime Membership Program for just $99.95, non refundable. As a lifetime member, every 30 days for the rest of your life you can request a FREE 30 DAY SUPPLY of Alta White Trial and only pay shipping and handling ($9.95 each time)

Hmmm... for a product that you should only use a few times through your life, a 'lifetime membership' is quite worthless, and expensive. Buyer Beware!

I have used Alta White 'teeth whitening tips' a few times now, ever since the free trial offer has been running.. and I have to say it does work better than just using colgate whitening toothpaste on its own.
For $6.95 you can't really go wrong.. I have noticed some good results with this product.
