Hi everyone. I too fell for this scam. The advert was on the web page of a local newsletter in Anglesey and sounded absolutely genuine. I sent off for a 10 day trial of an Everbrite tooth whitening product - the ad was about using two products at the same time but when I tried for the second product it said the offer was no longer valid. I left it at that then about three weeks later when I hadn't received anything from Everbrite I googled it and it came up with this forum. I spent hours reading everyone's horrror stories and like most people became extremely concerned. Having read about them not answering phone calls or emails I did send two emails to them to cancel - which both came back undelivered - but decided not to waste my time or money in trying to phone them. I read one piece of advice frome someone on this site (sorry can't remember the name) who said don't cancel your card - phone your bank and tell them it's been lost. If you cancel your card it can still remain open for a few months in case there was anything else to come out. If you say it's lost they close the card immediately. In my case, I phoned HSBC and told them I'd lost my card. They gave me a new number within 20 minutes of my phone call and I thought that was the end of it. However, the following day I checked my bank account on line and, would you believe it, a withdrawal from I Build Wealth. I was horrified - phoned HSBC and all I said was - there's a fraudulent withdrawal from my account from someone called I Build Wealth. I wasn't asked any further questions - the withdrawal was then debited in full back to my account. I had a strong feeling that the bank had already heard of these scam artists. That was two weeks ago and nothing's been taken from my account since then so I hope it's finished with. Try doing what I did - and I hope it works for you as I know that I felt sick to my stomach after reading all these complaints.By the way, I never did receive anything from them. Good luck to you all.
