Shimmering White (Scam)

I have been trying for several months to get a refund of the fees charged to my credit card. I have reported the company to the BBB and the FTC and the US Attorney General in California, where the company is based. I urge you to contact the FTC at 1-877-FTC-HELP and file a complaint. They will give you a reference number to track your complaint. Once they have enough complaints they will file action against the company. I can be reached at 860-808-4536. Please call. I have beeen battleing with this for over 6 months now I have alot of insight that will help you to get your money back. Thank you,

My husband made a GREAT suggestion...Go and buy a prepaid VISA card with $3.00 on it, get your "free" pen and then when they try to bill the card again, it won't work. If we all did this I'm sure this company wouldnt be too happy!

This is a big scam! Did anyone ever really get a refund after returning the FAKE whitening product? I returned the product a month and a half ago and I had receive a confirmation that they receive it, I called them 3 times but still did not get any refund. They are FULL OF SHIT. THEY ARE BUNCH OF LIAR.

these people are taking money out of my account which i never agreed to this is a scam

i too fell for these vermins lies, money just keeping chuging out from your card haha

if only there was a hell for them to burn in i'd wish them that

Hello, -----SCAM, ***KEEP READING***
I too was a victim of this mystery company... Ultifresh does not exist but they are a shipping/warehouse Co. they do not have a legit phone number so here's what you do... You can call CONSUMER AFFAIRS @ 800-952-5210. *****But the actual company that you unknowingly joined is called HEALTHSMILE you can contact them @ 866-825-7477. Don’t call until you return anything you may have received like that little white box that cost $87.62 go to the post office and ask for a delivery confirmation receipt and send it back. Track it @ USPS.COM and when it's received in Colorado BTW call them at the above number and track it with them on the phone then ask for a cancellation number (A must have) and you will get a credit and be done with them. Do it quick, they bill you at least a week before you receive anything. If all else fails report your card stolen and get a new one issued, they can't charge you if the account is closed ......GOOD LUCK!!

Im so angry right now i just got my credit card statment and this f....g teeth witething stuff it's taking alot of money from my account, the put me into skinny situation,just before Christmas my bills have not been paid my mobile was turned off cos they took my hard earned money.I can't earn enought to cover what the took, Im on minus on all of my accounts and over my limits, now bank is charging me each day and those f.....g company too.

Had a similar and B A D experience with these bums. Wouldn't give a credit on Credit Card, only said they it was canceled, didn't give a way to return the product, started charging for other unordered services, and to resolve this, I finally had to cancel the Credit Card after contesting the charges, as the charges kept coming. These folks are located outside the US of A.. their bank is so they can avoid the US laws governing commerce.

Avoid all teeth whiteners on the web.. they will scam you ~

Scammed in in trhe USA and this appears to be a world wide SCAM

Indeed this is a tricky one. I had this problem with 2 products from shimmrering white and unauthorised access to my accounts. BUT READ ON -THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU DO: This is what you do:

Firstly email returns@shimmeringwhite.com and ask for a cancellation code. This will automatically stop you from receiving further products.
Secondly, return the product immediately to this addresss with the return number printed on the returning package:
5300 Ontario Mills Pkway, Unit 400, Ontario CA 91764 -
this address is not easily available. *Register the package if you can afford to - I did not.
Third and finally, use the email above (returns@shimmeringwhite.com) to keep checking when they have received the product in the warehouse. Once they have, like me, they will refund your money as long as it is not over 30 days from you receiving the product.
Good Luck - Dont Give Up x

Not much to say, but this place is a rip off.

Free Trial - I should have known nothing in this life is for free- Shimmering White and Dazzle White are the biggest CONS about. If you get to speak to Crystal then good luck to you. They just take money off your account every month and rip you right off!!! You keep getting these useless pens through the post and watch your credit balance expire. Eventually got through to the bizzare Crystal but she just gets you more angry with every second and has the audacity to say Have a FINE DAY at the end of the call. Please don't get caught with this massive con. I saw it at first on what i thought was a legite newspaper website article. Dont Be FOOLED. major SCAM

After being well shafted for just over £400 quid i am fuming,i have just closed my bank account to stop these vile peole and there piggy backing companys taking anymore cash out of it.I tried everything i possibly could to cancel but its like chasing a ghost,phone calls dont work e-mails dont work no return address AHHHHH! and when i did cancel money still came out of my bank account UNDER DIFFERENT COMPANY NAMES i know all these horrible little companys are the same one but with different names and can you find them can you f**k. I spent 2 weeks at home trying to sort this mess out i advise anyone else who has done this to close your bank account down and open a new one, i know its a hassle but it will save you money,dont just cancel your card as they still hve access to your bank account details. i have just been onto the sun website to post a story, at least if they print something about it i will have saved more people being screwed over by what is the biggest internet SCAM ever.My bank have been no bloody use at all as they couldnt stop the payments only when i said i would take my money to a rival bank did they listen.The bank fraud investigation team know all about it but they are pretty powerless to stop it.Cheers for f***ing my christmas over you scumbags!

How well it works - BEST - for the scammers who pinch your hard earned cash!
Agreeability - WORST - for those of us who are scammed!
Affordability - WORST - it costs you £££ money - Loads of time cancelling cards, Stress, etc etc.
Consistency - BEST - Consistently RIP you off EVERYTIME if you try to buy!!!
Convenience - WORST - No credit card, No credit rating, no white teeth !!!

bewarned and stay well away from these scammers,... even the credit card companies say they have no contact details for them!!!!! but they still pay the money out and charge individuals who have been scammed!!!!

Shiimmering White , aka Purlywhite or anything similar is another one of those teeth whiting rip off sites. This one in particular has made it exceptionally hard to try contact them to cancel and if you are oversea’s it virtually impossible. They pull the same scam that that Dazzlesmile pulls (There are already numerous reports on them)

Anyway this is how it works big flashy site promising the world in terms of whiting your teeth with all the usual tons of testimonials, the popup dentist telling you how good this is and how “RISK FREE” the trial is with all the bells and whistles blowing about their satisfaction guarantee excellent service and so on …. The tell tale signs of a scam site are all there and I was dumb enough to fall for It. The $2.95 for the trial, I thought what the hell, if it a scam I don’t care about losing $2.95. I think many people think this and that’s where the catch is because all they want is your credit card details so they can bill you $82.40 per month for every month plus you will have also unlocked your twenty-one-day Wellbeing Tips Comprehensive eBook package for just $9.80 a month thereafter or some fitness site for $20.40 a month.

I’m quite sure the crap they send you is just that crap if their product had any value and is worth something then people would want it and pay a fair price for it not have to join some club and receive monthly shipments.

Back to my experience.. the Alarm bells went off when I completed the order and it now said that I was going to be billed $5.95 instead of the $2.95 plus a site address with a username and password.

Ok so I go back and search the site to why I’ve been billed more and WTF are those two websites that I’m now members of…Well finally in the terms and conditions which is obscurely hidden away I find the following:

“Offer Details: When you order today you'll be signed up as a member of our exclusive preferred customer club. You will be billed $4.95 for the shipping of your 14-day day trial, then once you choose to continue whitening with the Shimmering White System the low member price of only $82.40 per month for every month. And remember, there's never any obligation - you can cancel your membership at anytime by calling 800-856-8676. You have also unlocked your twenty-one-day Wellbeing Tips Comprehensive eBook package for just $9.80 a month thereafter (shows "Wellbeing"), should you choose not to cancel. Prior charges for bonuses are non-refundable but subscription can be cancelled and future charges stopped at any time. To cancel, call toll-free 888-204-5299 for Wellbeing Tips. Orders outside of US pay an additional $9.95 for shipping. No obligation, CANCEL ANYTIME!”

I then do go and start at the beginning of the site to see how the F**K I got scammed… well the landing page is all full of promise and testimonials and a call to action offering the risk free trail at the $2.95 – click on there and you end up at the pace requesting your credit card details. Note that the page lands so that the page is scrolled down a little and the banners look like you are at the top but clearly hiding the small print which says they are about to screw you .. They don’t want you to read this they hide it at the top and ensure that the background and text are similar in color and very small. I missed that the first time around and I’m sure many others did to. At this point I realize I’ve been scamed.

The only thing now is to get out of it .. thank god I did this over the weekend on Sunday and I live in Australia so I’m ahead of time to these F**kers so my bank is open and doing business while they still sleeping.

First thing I do is contact the bank and report that my credit card details has fallen into fraudulent hands and everything need to be blocked from now and for evermore into the future. Well they cancel the card which effectively means that any transaction that tries to go through will be blocked. I’ll get a new credit card in about a week somewhat of an inconvenience but I guess that’s the price I’ve got to pay for been an idiot.

Now it’s almost 11pm Monday night and I’m waiting for it to be 9:00am MNT time so I can call try call these F**Kers and cancel everything … I’m not expecting much success and I also don’t trust them. Regardless I want to do everything to ensure no attempt to get any money from me is made.

In Conclusion .. I’m usually one who stays away from anything that looks like a scam and I usually can recognize one a mile away, and I did with this but because the initial offer was so low I was prepared to take a chance and wasn’t worried about losing $2.95 … I learnt my lesson now the small amount is just the bait the tip of the ice berg, the lower and less significant the offering is the bigger the sting is.

The rules are simple … it’s a scam site if the offering is too good to be true, if blogs and articles sites recommend these site, they are just affiliate marketing. If there is no contact details or difficult to find on the site and the address is a P.O.Box No phone numbers. And most importantly always read the terms and conditions of any site before you hand over any financial details.

don't expect too much from the credit card company, i too was scammed and told credit card company which they placed under investigation. Had letter this morning saying that because i didn't cancel it with the company i can kiss my money goodbye. But with no address for the company and a phoney phone number.....how the hell are you supposed to cancel it!! So now lost £57 and have nothing to show for it!

Just got off the phone with my credit card company....must have had the most annoying man on the phone today, wasn't listening to me at all!! Kept telling me to write to shimmering teeth to cancel!! ARGGGGGGHHHHH!! If i had an address i would!!! Anyway...............after asking to be put through to somebody that would actually listen....they put me through to the fraud department, who will send more forms but HOPEFULLY get my money back (fingers crossed)

So don't give up people, go straight through to the fraud department of your credit card company and try that way.......i'll keep you posted if it works out for me.

Well where do we start,no doubt you thieving twats are reading these messages cos youre inconsiderate,thieveing little twats and i hope you rot in hell.Im a one parent and thought id treat myself to some whitener and you just rob me and my son of our money and his christmas money for his bike.You obviously have no moral.

I too fell for this one and only realised when I opened my credit card statement today.
They have taken a grand total of £229.16 not including the free trial postage fees.
This was all taken over a period of 14 days and to 4 different companies; Shimmering Teeth, Ultifreshwell, Wellbeing tips and Improve health.

My first step was to get straight on the phone to my credit card company as I had not authorised these transactions. They were absolutely amazing! I was advised that they had already received over 200 calls just in one morning about these companies. The credit card company are sending me cancellation letters for these subscriptions which I have to sign, date and return. Once received, they will do the rest - cancel the subscriptions and have my money refunded. They advised that these collective companies are acting fraudulently and formal investigations are going on.

I hope it does all end well, like the card company have promised. However, I really feel for others who have paid by bank account :-(

It's amazing that this has been allowed to go on for so long. I work hard for a living and find it disgusting that someone is obviously making HUGE amounts of money by being devious and deceptive.
I wish everyone all the best in their battles with these companies and would dearly like to warn others not to go near them with a bargepole - but naturally, we don't come across these types of review sites until it is too late. :-(

These people are a scam, never give them you bank details !!!
They advertised a whitewhiting sample product which was to only bill be around £4.00, since then they have taken a total of £307.97 form my acount since the 16th of Sept till date. the wordt thing is they never sent the so called product or stick.
I must get mt money back, theis must not go quietly. see my bank charges break down below.

1. 16th Sept – ECS* Total White – USD - $11.90 - £7.38
2. 17 Sept - healthsmile CYPUS $11.90 - £7.42 - I have no idea who they are
3. 6th Oct www.LAGONISSOLUTI £5.95 - no idea on this
4. 8th Oct ultifresh CYPUS £51.16 – no idea
5. 13th Oct TOTAL WHITE PRO $86.77 - £56.09 –
6. 19th Oct www.LAGONISSOLUTI £69.95 - no idea
7. 28th Oct ECS* Total White - $86.77 - £54.68 - no idea
8. 10th Nov ultifresh CYPUS $87.62. - £54.34– no idea

Total = £306.97

SCAM! It's even more frustrating that if you find the website , it keeps routing you to a different website. They are stealing a lot of money from people. They do not have just one website and this just proves that they are a bunch of liar.

DONT FALL FOR IT, STAY WELL AWAY FROM TEETH WHITENING PENS THEY OR ALL THE SAME COMPANY USING DIFFERENT NAMES TO RAID YOUR ACCOUNT THING IS THEY ARE GETTING AWAY WITH AND THEY TAKE £50 AFTER £50 OUT YOUR BANK AND DONT EVEN SEND PRODUCTS OUT. WHICH BY THE WAY DONT WORK. IF THE HOW WELL IT WORKS AND THE OTHERS HAD A -5 HAD CLICK THEM BUT GUESS AL HAVE TO CLICK 1

I cant believe I have been taken for this scam as usually am so careful. Howerer I was in a rush and doing it for a friend and never read any of the small print. My biggest mistake was thinking that MSN would not post a scam advert on their home page. HA, I cant believe I was that naive.

I have been take for 180 dollars and am sure no way of getting that back but my god what I would give to get my hands on them. Does anyone know where they are based. I would love to give them a little visit. I do travel a lot and really would love to go see their little cretin of a manager.

What a scam. Woman from Bolton discovers a combination of 2 different products really whiten your teeth!
I too thought it was a FREE offer with just under $2 postage. No mention of signing up to anything or them sending anything else in the future. It stated that they would send you a FREE trial and all they wanted in return was you to fill in a questionaire on line as to how well it worked. Simple? Free? NO problem? Thought it was worth a go.
Suddenly well over a £130 had disappeared on beauty product companies (4 different ones) from my bank account within a week of sending for the FREE offer. Thank goodness the fraud section of my bank were on the ball and rang me to ask if I had made these payments. My bank refunded the payments prior to investigation.
Watch out for these free offers. I can't believe I fell for it and the product doesn't work.

I was stupid enough to follow this link:
http://myteethtrick.com/my-white-teeth.php?t202id=55083&t202kw=PN
It recommends these two products:

1)Smile Whites
https://www.smilewhitespro.com/?partner=LCM_promo&referenceid=377549860
2)Denta White
http://white-smiles.com/?S=0008&P=401599&X=377569790&css=dental.2

This is huge scam, they sign you up for 1 year plan and charge you every month without any notification. I also noticed that they change the return address so that you will not be able to return their trial stuff back in time.
