White Teeth Scam: Free Dazzle White?


I found this ad on MSNBC while reading the news today. The website went by the name, "American Derma Society" which sure made it sound official. The only problem is "derma" refers to skin, not teeth. I guess the American Dental Society website was already taken. Oh well, close enough.

When I reached the website, it was not done up as an official medical website, but instead was something called "News9, World News 9, Your News Online". The old news site trick. Works well, thats why the keep doig it.

The ad claims that the cost to whiten teeh at a dentist is $400-500.00. While the cost to whiten teeth at home: 0?.

This is misleading because it infers that whitening teeth at home may cost nothing, when nothing is further from the truth.

The ad goes on to claim that DazzleWhite was temporarily offering a month's supply for free. Hmmm..

"Jamie Harlee", a character depicted in the ad, who is addicted to cigarettes and coffee and has the teeth to prove it. There is a picture on the website.

Jamie claims excellent results from DazzleWhite and claims that we can try DazzleWhite for free. So let's check out the product!

First, I checked the Terms of Service with DazzleWhite. The product is not free. If you sign up for the trial period, you have to pay shipping and handling.

A few days later, your credit card will be hit for three separate monthly fees:
$58.76, 3.24 and 7.14. That is a very expensive "FREE" product.

Again, if you choose to use DazzleWhite and don't mind paying these costs, that is your right. However, if you are considering purchasing from one of these websites, please be aware of the high costs, carefully located in the Terms of Service.
