Was online getting some free samples for my sister in law who is a mum to be, when the offer of a free sample of teeth whitening product came up. They were offering free postage also so my mum said go for it - they then said they wanted postage insurrance costs which was only £4.99 which we gave them my mums bank details to retrieve. This was in July - we received sample and was happy with it. Then a month later I received a larger pack - which I hadnt asked for!! £36.00 was taken from my mums bank so we phoned them and told them we would keep it but did not want want nothing further from them.
Then today 10/10/09 the fraud department of my mums bank called her and said that 2 payments were taken out this morning totaling more than £70 by this company and that they had been takeing out smaller payment over the last few months building up the amounts as they went along - trying not to be detected!! The bank said they realised because they were aware of this company and their scam.
I felt so guilty when my mum told me what was going on. Thankfully the bank will get my mums money back and stop this from happening again. Why is this company still getting away with this?
They should be stopped - I'm sure that other people have been scammed out of much more money than us by this company. We were lucky that the bank detected it happening to us before the amounts went up alot higher!!
