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...

You can contact customer service with questions or cancel the program any time by calling customer service at 1-877-438-2819, Mon – Fri 10am to 8pm CST.

Remember, there are always hidden costs for some products sold online and buyers are advised to read the fine print, terms and conditions before ordering.

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.

White Teeth Scam: White-To-Go

Must be the time of year, but these teeth whitening scam products are popping up everywhere. Todays: White-To-Go. What sounds like a fast food restaurant, is actually a new teeth whitening product using the same old pitch as it's predecessors: Use trial samples only to get whiter teeth.

Here are the particulars..

The story is found on fake news site, "Consumer News Journalist" with lots of fake and stock photos of subjects who have nothing to do with White-To-Go.
Sarah, a "mom" who lives in your area, wanted to get whiter teeth and used free samples and trial offers. Sarah recommends White-To-Go for which she paid only a few dollars.. In her own words..

she was able to attain her new sexy smile for less than $8 using nothing but trial offers and paying just a few dollars in shipping charges.

So Sarah claims she got her white smile with only trial offers and cost less than ten dollars. But that's exactly true. The hidden terms and fine print tell a different story.


Clicking one of the many White-To-Go links, visitors are taken to a sign up form for White-To-Go. There are lots of claims, pretty pictures and plenty of white teeth. But way down at the bottom are the little terms for buyer's free trials.


First up, it is not only a trial, but a membership..


When you enroll in our membership program ("Program"), we will charge the card you provide the Five Dollars and Ninety-Five Cents ($5.95) activation fee (non-refundable) specified on the order checkout page and send you a thirty (30)-day supply of Celebrity White To-go as a gift to you for enrollment.

If buyers don't cancel in 14 days, the price for that sample goes way up..

If you do not cancel within the next fourteen (14) days of the date that you enroll in the Program, we will charge the same card you provided at enrollment the non-refundable annual membership fee of One Hundred Twenty-Seven Dollars and Eighty-Six Cents ($127.86) ("Membership Fee"). 

If you are not satisfied with White-To-Go, there is no guarantee buyers will get a refund..

We refund all cases of fraud and unauthorized transactions including shipping and handling charges. Additional refunds are issued on a case-by-case basis at the discretion of the company.

White-To-Go is another product with hidden expensive costs for unsuspecting buyers and is not a product sample,  but an obligation for a monthly membership. Buyer beware!

White Teeth Scam: Pro Whitener Plus

Yet another white teeth scam product lingering out there on the Internet. Same marketing plan; fake news site, fake testimonial, free samples with hidden charges. This time its Pro Whitener Plus!

Pro Whitener Plus is using the old "Don't Break The Bank!" slogan and features yet again, perky mom, Amy, who claims she has beaten the US recession single handedly while whitening her teeth. By using free (S&H required) samples of Pro Whitener, Amy has white teeth without the high prices charged by other products or her dentist.

Amy should read the fine print or better yet, the advertisers for Pro Whitener Plus should reveal them to potential buyers instead of hiding them in the teensy fine print.

Let's check those terms....

First, the sample is a trial offer with an alleged high price.

Start your Trial now to receive a full 30 day supply of ProWhite Plus (retail price of $450.00).

If you keep the sample, you get charged a big fat fee..

If you enjoy ProWhite Plus, simply do nothing. You will be billed the super low price of $84.73 at the end of your trial period

So the using the trials and not buying the product is not the way it really works. If you keep the sample, you get charged.

If, for ANY reason, you decide that ProWhite Plus is not for you, simply call 877-287-9760 before the end of your 10 day trial period for an RMA number and return instructions

And Pro Whitener Plus is not a sample, its a membership!

Plus, when you accept this Trial, you will also receive a membership in the ProWhite Plus VIP Program

Which means more Pro Whitener Plus is coming unless you cancel!

That means you will continue to get a fresh supply of ProWhite Plus every 30 days for the low price of $44.73  

How can you cancel Pro Whitener Plus?

simply call 877-287-9760

Pro Whitener Plus is another product with hidden expensive costs for unsuspecting buyers and is not a product sample. but an obligation for a monthly membership. Buyer beware!

Alpine White is advertised on many of the websites you visit. The ads say something like "Don't break the bank! Mom's teeth whitening trick.." and so on. The ad then takes visitors to a website featuring a perky mom and daughter both with pearly white teeth.

The subject "Amy" claims she took advantage of free trial samples of Alpine White and found the product whitened her teeth. The problem is the trial is not completely free.

White Teeth Scam: VibrantSmile

Another fake news site, another fake customer and another teeth whitening product with hidden costs. Read on about VibrantSmile.

This time the ads come from a fake news site called Vanity Reports Magazine. Again, the customer of VibrantSmile is make believe and goes by the name "Laura" and who allegedly lives in your town. Don't believe it.

Even the website has a disclaimer regarding the accuracy and validity of the ad:

this page, and any page on this website, are not to be taken literally or as a non-fiction story

How about on the VibrantSmile website? Anything there to be aware of?

Sure, clicking on any of the numerous links, visitors are taken to a sign up form for VibrantSmile. Buyers should read carefully before handing over their credit card.

The ad claims buyers will get a sample order for shipping and handling only. However read the fine print...

By Clicking “Order” you agree to be enrolled in the 18 day trial for $5.95

And then...

after the trial expires, you agree that your card will be charged $79.95 per month until you cancel

Uh oh. And then what happens?

it does NOT mean that you will not be charged for the products you receive during the trial period

Nothing free there. Buyers will get charged some time for everything they receive.

Sunday

White Teeth Scam: Everbrite

Everbrite, also advertised as Everbrite Smile, is the latest teeth whitening scam on the internet buyers should be aware of. Who does not want whiter teeth? But don't fall for those "free trials"! There are hidden costs with Everbrite. Read on..

Everbrite is another teeth whitening product using fake news sites and blogs to promote their products. As usual, they feature a "mom" who found that by using only "free trial samples" she was able to make her teeth whiter.

The problem is those "free samples" are not completely free. And what's more, is buyers are automatically signed up for a membership which sends them monthly shipments of more Everbrite. Often, buyers are not aware of this when they sign up for the sample.

The fine print for Everbrite has more. Here are the highlights..

Buyers trial period begins when they order, not when they receive their Everbrite..

Beginning on the day that you place an order for a product (“Product”) from the Website, Your ten (10) day *Trial period begins

Buyers Everbrite orders will be shipped 3-5 days after they order..

You will be shipped a thirty (30) day supply of the Product You ordered. Generally, Your Product is shipped 3 to 5 days after placing your order.

Which means the ten day trial may be up before the Everbrite arrives.

Buyers will be shipped more Everbrite each month and will be charged for the sample..


If you are satisfied with the Product and wish to continue to receive the Product on a monthly basis, you need do nothing else. Upon the expiration of the *Trial Period, Your credit card will be billed for the full cost of the Product that you ordered (i.e., a thirty day supply).

There is a charge for the Everbrite sample to cover shipping..

Upon signing up for the 10 day trial membership you will be charged up to $3.97 depending on various shipping

But then the full price kicks in and the recurring monthly charges..

If not cancelled, you will be charged $89.97 upon completion of the 10 day trial period. Monthly thereafter or 30 days from the original order date, the charge will reoccur monthly at a total of $89.97 until cancelled.

The cost of Everbrite is not completely revealed in the ad pages and the charges are significanly higher than claimed. Buyers are advised to read the fine print carefully before purchasing Everbrite or any other product online.

Wednesday

White Teeth Scam: Celebrity White Teeth

Consumer News Reporter has the story of Amy, a Boston school teacher who made her teeth whiter with free trial samples of Celebrity White Teeth and save money. However the truth is another story. Read the fine print first!

The Consumer News Reporter is an advertisement site with ad links on several major web sites. They advertise with quotes like "Mom get whites teeth without going broke!" or something similar.

The link tells a story about Amy, an average mother who needed whiter teeth but did not want to spend a great deal of money. So she used free trial samples of Celebrity White Teeth to make her teeth white.

However, the fine print on the ads have another story. Celebrity White Teeth costs much more than the free trial ad implies. Here are the real costs from the ordering website.

The free trial is actually for a monthly membership program..

The 14 day trial offer for includes enrollment in our auto delivery program

The 14 day trial starts three days after the buyers order..

The 14-day trial period starts 3 days from the date you place your order

That trial sample will actually be charged to your credit card after the trial ends..

If you do not cancel, and your trial order included a one-month supply of the product, we will charge $54.95 on the day after your trial period ends

Celebrity White Teeth then keeps coming every month..


your trial period ends to the card you provided at checkout and you will continue with the auto delivery program.

And buyers will still be charged every month..

about 30 days after we charge you for the first month’s supply, we will charge $54.95 (the cost for the month’s supply) to the card you provided at checkout.

Buyers can cancel Celebrity White Teeth by calling the following number..


866-202-0846.


But will be charged for used portions of the product.

Buyers of any product online, including Celebrity Teeth White, should be aware of the fine print and liability of purchasing this product online. There are high monthly costs.

White Teeth Scam: White Ice

Have you seen the latest ads for "mom's trick to white teeth! Don't break the bank!"? The latest is for White Ice.

Again, another "mom" from somewhere is claiming that free trials of a certain teeth whitener made her teeth white for pennies day. Again, she used free White Ice trials samples only to get whiter teeth.

The story I read was on "The Brady Report" which was an ad link seen on a major news site. Amy, a teacher from Boston, wanted white teeth, but did not want spend a fortune. So she tried a free sample of White Ice and combined it with another product to get whiter teeth.

Again, Amy claimed she only used free White Ice samples. I say this repeatedly, because the fine print on these ads has another story all together.

When buyers sign up for White Ice, they agree to a month to month program for the product in which they are automatically enrolled. Reading the fine print, we see the following for White Ice...

The White Ice samples are a trial membership..

If you have taken advantage of our 14 day trial

Which has a higher monthly price which kicks in on the last day of the trial..

you will not be billed $89.00 until the 14th day, you will only be charged for postage and handling.

And the product keeps coming until canceled..

You will then recieve the WhiteICE Smile Pack every 30 days at the continued low rate of $89.00 plus $9.95 postage and handling.

Buyers can cancel by calling the following cancellation number for White Ice..
1-877-778-5730

But buyers must cancel before the next shipment and return any unopened product for full refund.

Amy and the Brady Report ad do not share these fine print facts with potential buyers. Read the fine print on all products before buying online.
