Beauty Porduct - Anti ageing SCAM - Perfect Radiance.

I had a look on the Perfect Radiance web site, just to have a look at their claim about reducing the ageing process.  What a joke!  How can someone look five years younger in three months?  Wish I knew.Today I had a phone call from a Kristen Smith with one hell of a sales pitch all the way from Connecticut U.S.A. and on my mobile.  Do you use any other beauty products, if so, which.Our product has been tested and recommended by the worlds leading dermatologists etc etc.  For just £2:99 p&p we will send you a free sample, then came the punch line, we will debit your bank account or credit card every month for just under £80.This is just a SCAM.  I'm not interested, but, you have entered a contract.  How, I haven't signed anything, I have not authorized payment, how can I have a contract?  Then the sales pitch became very aggressive, talk about determination but she still did not manage to close.  Maybe I should have asked her about certain toys as she was clearly frustrated after 20 minutes of getting nowhere.

How did this woman get your phone number if you only 'looked' at the website ?

Ellie Rose ● 5371d

And if she hasn't got your credit card/bank details, she can whistle.Hope you didnt actually sign up to anything

I had been making a John Lewis purchase on line, so can only assume that I was picked up when I logged on to the other site.The JL purchase wasWeb Ref Title Quantity Each Total231444299 Lanc and ocirc;me Absolue BX Duo 1 £109.00 230649721 Lancôme Génifique Youth Activator Cream, 50ml 1 £77.00 Total Payable £186.00

SaraHave not signed up to anything, or given card details but, will alert the bank just in case.  If they try to take money, they will find out, what they are dealing with.  (What is the true me?)

Nicola Howard ● 5371d

Nicola. I Googled 'Perfect Radiance Scam' (which it certainly is) and it seems the only way you can get drawn in is buy signing up to the free trial product.It may be worth getting in touch with the John Lewis website techies to see if this company have in some way worked their way into the JL website.I was amazed 2 days ago when looking at the KLM website for prices of flights to the USA for February that when I next logged onto my computer, lo and behold on my homepage was an advert for KLM and prices for flights to Portland.....The exact destination I was searching for the night before.....We are being watched !!!

The use of cookies to target advertising. I don't mind that so much as long as you are aware of it.I think if you disable cookies, you dont get as much - but it is a hassle and may not be worth it.

£186 for face creams?  No wonder these scams exist....

Sarah Harris ● 5370d

It's called vanity, or just can't grow old gracefully.  At least Lancome is a reliable product.

Nicola Howard ● 5370d

Yes I know that feeling Nicola! However, I do think that avoiding wrinkles is 50% healthy diet and 50% luck with your genes.  If women are so bothered about wrinkles and skin issues I think it's much more cost-effective to save all the money you'd have spent on creams until you have enough for a facelift as that will certainly get rid of the wrinkles.  I just get annoyed at being treated like a mug by these beauty companies.I don't believe that Lamcambe or Clinique is any better or worse than Nivea or Boots own brand.  If the creams did work, the industry wouldn't be so lucrative and face lifts wouldn't exist!

There was also a big piece last weekend - either Guardian Saturday or Observer Sunday i think.Sounded dreadful

Sara Nathan ● 5318d

Daily Mail once again.No wonder women fall for these type of scams when the Daily Mail also runs thinly disguised promotions, intended to look like news items.-  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  'The skin maintains its young, fresh appearance with the serum penetrating into deepest layers of the skin forming an invisible film on the surface so hydrating and targeting the topical layers of stratum corneum and reducing environmental damage.'   Swisscode Hyaluron costs £45 and is available internationally from swisscode.co.uk 

Fred Bray ● 5318d

Just shows how easy it is to get duped.Just hope that these scamming web sites get closed down and prosecuted.Cosmetic surgeons hate us, anyone who puts a plastic bag or cling film over their face to remove wrinkles, needs their brain cells tested  Once the skin has gone, that's it.  Viterderm, Perfect Radience and, its other names should be removed from all web sites............................................................................................................................................................................................................................I will stick to LANCOME GENIFIQUE (Serum in a dropper) but, as with all these products, they cannor replace what is lost, it's only temporary............................................................................................................................................................................................................................Had a look at this linkSwisscode Hyaluron costs £45 and is available internationally from swisscode.co.ukWARNING; read up on the side effectswww.ehow.com/about_5492621_hyaluronic-acid-side-effects.html Common Side Effects    As mentioned, certain side effects are associated with using hyaluronic acid. Some of these side effects include headache, diarrhea, itching of the skin, stomach pain, swelling of the knee, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, and large swollen patches of skin. While these are considered the most common side effects associated with this medication, they only affect a small number of users.Severe Side Effects    Unfortunately, a number of severe side effects are also associated with using hyaluronic acid. Some of these side effects include difficulty swallowing, coughing, fever, redness and swelling at the injection site, tightness of the chest, trouble breathing, wheezing, swelling of the eyelids and lips, skin rash, and hives.
