Need White Teeth Scam: Karens Teeth


Seems everywhere you look these days there are one or two ads on each website promoting white teeth. Ads like "Mom discovers clever trick to whiten teeth for less than $10!". Sound promising, right?

I checked out one for "Karen's Teeth". The link took me to a website which looked like a news site but is really just a sales page. It was called "Consumer News Weekly" but the entire site was about Karen and her teeth!

Karen outlined a problem found on all of these sites. She loved coffee and red wine and previously had been a smoker. Net result was dingy and stained teeth. The other problem was that Karen had limited funds. She could not get expensive treatments at her dentist.

A friend suggested she try two teeth whitening products which she reviews on Karen's Teeth - Dazzle White and Easy White. After trying a "trial period" product, she found neither really did the job. But at her son's advice, she tried them together and had great success.

What's more is Karen revealed that using the trial samples only cost a few dollars.

I checked out the two product links on Karens Teeth, Dazzle White and Easy White.

Dazzle White had a very nice website with plenty of pictures of pretty people and smiles. However, what interested me were the Terms of Service at the bottom of the page.

Hidden in small type was the link, which reveals the real cost of Dazzle White. There I found out the following..

a pre-authorized pending payment of Fifty-Eight Dollars and Seventy-Six Cents ($58.76) does apply for the trial offer for your initial fourteen (14) day trial membership

and

your Active Credit Card will be charged the monthly Insider Access Package fee of Three Dollars and Twenty-Four Cents ($3.24) ("IAP Monthly Fee").

and

your eBook Access Pass during your twenty-eight (28) day trial period, then your Active Credit Card will be charged the monthly Insider Access Package fee of Seven Dollars and Fourteen Cents ($7.14)

Whoa. I thought Dazzle White was only a few dollars for trial period.

How about Easy White?

The Easy White website was not as pretty, but instead, very medical looking. The Terms were easy to find, but the prices were located in another page called "How it works".

The price for Easy White was straightforward and just as expensive. $6.99 for shipping and handling. $78.23 a month automatically billed after the trial period. And the monthly charges will be for three months at a time.

Let's add up the total cost for Karen's Teeth.

Dazzle White
$58.76
$3.24
$7.14
Easy White
$6.99
$78.23
Total for one month
$154.36


Wow. that is alot more than the "couple of dollars" the ad claimed.

if you can afford $154.36 for Dazzle White and Easy White, good for you. But I wonder if a dentist might be cheaper?
