BEWARE! Not technically a scam,, BUT YOU WILL LOSE YOUR MONEY
I purchased NuVega Lash serum thinking it was a one time purchase. My bank put a hold on my card because a charge for $99.99 seemed suspicious. I called the bank and they confirmed they DECLINED the charge but told me I was enrolled in a MONTHLY program because of my purchase and had to call the company first or they could keep charging me. I read these things carefully and didn't see anything about a monthly program. I called the number 800.949.6405 for the company Advanced Lash and was on hold for 45 minutes. Finally, someone came on the line, offered me a 50% discount if I stayed on their program, which I declined, and confirmed that I was canceled out of all recurring and current charges. We will see.
Result:
I burned over 1 hour and 40 minutes of time on the phone this morning resolving this.
I THANK BANK OF AMERICA for their fraud and consumer protection program.
I will NEVER buy cosmetics from other than Amazon or a reputable retailer again.
Posting this so you don't fall into the same trap.Not everyone is so lucky - they lose the first $99. So this company is getting a TON of money from unsuspecting consumers.
Think - why sell under one company name, charge under a different company name, then call a different company name? Why is it necessary to put people on hold for 45 minutes? Think they will get tired, give up, forget to call at another time? Most people don't get their first $99 back - lost to a scam.
Somehow got enrolled in trial program by a company called Advance Lash beauty . They charged my Santander Bank debit card in two incident 124.00 and 119.99 in two consecutive months. I got panicked and called my bank as soon as I noticed the charges . I then blocked the card a reapplied for a replacement and opened a claim of fraudgilant activity. Told the bank the story And got issued a provincial credit. After couple of days I received a letter from bank saying that after investigating this with the Beauty company they determined that the merchant is correct therefore the claim got denied and charges got reversed and debited from my account again . I visited the branch twise and spend over one hour every time and discussion back and forth involving Beauty company nothing has changed and problem hadn't been solved. I'm extremely disappointed with outcome!I got scammed by beauty company and faced with unfairness from bank. I'm going to close my account and I'm done with them .
