White Teeth Scam: Superstar Smile

"she was able to do so for less than $4 by using free trial* offers she found online"

- Amy, school teacher on Superstar Smile, Consumer Digest Weekly

Well, Amy the school teacher from anytown USA seems to use every brand of teeth whitener sold online if you believe the ads you see everywhere. This time, Amy is a big fan of Superstar Smile and their $4 free trial for getting her teeth white. That according to Consumer Digest Weekly.

Amy is a make believe person. Consumer Digest Weekly is only an ad site. And Superstar Smile costs more than $4.

This form of advertising has been around for years and while it looks like a new story, is actually nothing more than an advertisement. The secret is to look and watch out for the hidden terms before buying anything online including Superstar Smile.

Clicking on any of the Superstar Smile links, visitors are taken to a site for SuperStar Smile and informed that Superstar is the #1 choice of dentists. There are plenty of photos of happy smiling people with white teeth and testimonials from satisfied customers. We also see that SuperStar is a teeth whitening "pen" product.

But the small print is what we are interested in. Let's check that out...

First, this is a 10 day trial for SuperStar Smile

The entire process is simple and consists of a 10 day trial (Just pay a discounted shipping amount of $4.95

If buyers do not cancel, they will be charged some big fees..

if you do not cancel during the trial it is followed by three monthly installments of $99.92 ($89.97 for the product and $9.95 shipping and handling on days 11, 41, and 71

And SuperStar Smile keeps coming..

after which time you will be able to receive teeth whitening touch up kits for only the cost of shipping and handling ($9.95) for the rest of your life

Also, if buyers cancel, they get hit with a fee when they return the product and for orders "prepped" for shipping but not yet received by the buyer..

A restocking fee of 35% will be assessed for all returned products and canceled orders that are prepping to be shipped.

Buyers of SuperStar Smile can cancel by phoning...

White Teeth Scam: Whiteblast

"she was able to do so for less than $6 by using free* trial offers she found online."
- Amy, customer of Whiteblast, Consumer News Reporter

Amy, the imaginary Mom from anytown, USA, claims she used Whiteblast free samples and got whiter teeth.

We know this is not true as this is the same ad on which Amy claimed White Smile, Denta Whites, and all the rest of the "free trials" did the same thing in days past.

The fact is that these white teeth product ads are not entirely telling the truth about the real costs of their products and those free trials. Rather, there are hidden costs and the trials are actually memberships with monthly puchase comitments.

Clicking any of the White Blast links on the ad page, visitors are taken to a sign up form for Whiteblast Teeth Whitening System which features lots of pictures of beautiful people with white teeth. However, the best part are the terms hidden at the bottom of the page.

The trial of Whiteblasts lasts 14 days and buyers will be charged only for shipping. However, after 14 days, they are automatically charged the full price..

If you have taken advantage of our FREE WhiteBlast20 offer, you WILL NOT be billed $179.00 plus $9.95 until the 14th day, you will only be charged for shipping.

There is not another monthly charge according to the Whiteblast terms..

You will then receive a WhiteBlast Maintenance Pack at a once off charge of $179 plus $9.95 shipping. You will NOT be charged each month!

However, unless buyers cancel within 48 hours of ordering. they can expect to get charged, but will not get their shipping charges refunded, even if they have not been shipped the product..

If you cancel within 48 hours of placing your order you will NOT be shipped the FREE WhiteBlast20 product and the shipping charge will NOT be refunded.

Finally, there are NO refunds after 14 days..

You may cancel at any time after the 14 day period however you WILL NOT be entitled to a refund for the $179 plus $9.95 shipping charge.

And buyers can cancel, but there is no phone number, only an email address..

Should you wish to cancel within the 14 day period, you must email your name and order reference number to support@whiteblastsmile.com before the 14 day period has concluded.

Basically, buy signing up for Whiteblast, buyers will get charged $9.95 whether they receive anything at all. And they will get charged $179.00 if they fail to follow the complex cancellation terms. White Blast Buyer beware.
