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
