Boy, I'm glad I didn't pull the trigger on this deal... I almost did!

I ordered from both Dentech and Dazzlewhite 3 weeks ago. Soon thereafter, I received a call from my credit card company (Target VISA) questioning me about some charges. The shipping charges were authorized, but Target Visa could see that Dazzlewhite had put in an authorization for a charge for over $58 that was to post to my account in the next two weeks. I told the caller that the $58 was not authorized, and he put a security block on my account. For the time being, I can't use the card, period. I called Dazzlewhite and told them I was returning the product. THey told me they need to have the product back within 14 days of, as I understood it, the day I received it. I'm in CA, and they are in Iowa. I told them I had a security block on my card, rendering them unable to charge it. I mailed the product back the following day. I am still afraid to take the security block off my card, which I now need to use.

I then called Dentech and told them I wanted to return the product unused and unopened. They were nicer to deal with. The kid told me to keep it, he would cancel my "membership," and my card would not be charged. I got a confirmation email of this soon thereafter. Had I not called within 15 days of my order, they would have charged my card around $80. The two weeks goes fast. People need to keep track. It was the 15th day that I called.

As I went thru the ordering process for both products, I was careful to look at small print to see what the catch was, and I saw none of this. Had Target Visa not called me, I'd have ended up with $140 in charges on my card. I will never order a "free" trial again.

Ok, all the "new members" that found FW due to this obvious scam are understandable, but I can't believe there were even senior/ancient members who fell for it!

NEVER, EVER do a "FREE" trial if the seller ask for a credit card number (responsible co.'s should be able to send a trial amount of any stuff WITHOUT asking for ANY financial info).

Another thing, a PO Box might be a good friend... If you're sent something YOU DIDN'T ASK FOR (like a billed 30 day supply, instead of the promised "free" 14 day trial amount or another stuff altogheter) and it was SENT BY US POSTAL SERVICE you're on your right to KEEP IT WITHOUT FURTHER OBLIGATION ('cause it violates US Federal laws on the matter). Most Post Offices or USPS Customer Service (1-800-ASK-USPS) can give you details on how to proceed in those cases... Of course, if it was sent by UPS or FedEx, it'd be ANOTHER STORY...

Are you people replying to spam emails or are you seeing an ad for this at Yahoo? If you are seeing an ad, the only question I have for you is why isn't the URL for the ad in your hosts list? Why would you let ads appear on your screen when you can use a hosts list? Pages load faster and no ads while you stick it to the man.

went through this also. long story short. i received the package and didn't open it. sent it back before the 21 day deadline with USPS Delivery Confirmation.

just checked my bank account today and they charged my account the $58.76 anyway. so called them and they are refunding because i have proof i sent it back and they received it. it will take 5-10 business days for the refund.

what they don't make clear is that when you sign up for dazzlewhite they automatically sign you up for another program that charged my account something like $3 and appeared on my statement at "webaccess". called the number for that and told them i was going to dispute the charges with my bank. they immediately refunded the entire amount.

hope this helps someone. i learned a painful lesson.

one more thing- within 5 minutes of ordering it i called and cancelled. they gave me a cancellation code which i promptly wrote down along with the order number- needed to return the product. the customer service person told me he could only discontinue the monthly shipments but the first one would go out because it is automated. so that is when he explained i would have to return the product within 21 days and they wouldn't charge me... they charged me anyway.
