  • being a new member here, i can't share links, but the link you shared was the one i fell for, a dazzlingbritekit.com, i rang my bank and they said i have to call them tomorrow, even if a refund is out of the question i'd just like to stop them taking any more payments, and i haven't actually received anything...whats more misleading are the T&Cs on the site...if you cancel in 10 days you get a full refund, but there are contact details but they don't work
    united kingdom-441617680100
    and no email address when they state that they have one.
    i'm at a loss as to what to do really :(

    all of these are false...surely they are breaching their own T&Cs?
    and they've emptied the last of my account until payday...no living for me
  • rang the bank again to ask about card changes, and they told me they can only change my card number not m account number or sort code...will this ultrawhites company technically be able to take money off my card?
  • Guys PLEASE help me,
    I too have fallen for this scam. I am in the UK and thought I was ordering a FREE trial to take part in a Teeth Whitening Trial - I have ha the P&P ammount taken and a further £60.03.
    I have no contact details, the website which I placed my order through said they do not deal with that product, when I try to track my order there is no recollection of my email, card number (now cancelled) or post code.
    This is the site I ordered from:
    http: //!!!!!!! /AY7G80 - (just without the spaces as not allowed to post as im new!)
    And this is what my bank statement shows:
    INT'L 0045284906
    DazzlinSmile866445
    Panama
    USD 3.87 @ 1.4386
    I have read there are online webchats where you can cancel your order, or does anyone have a number (Im in UK) or email address.
    Please help I seriously cannot afford to loose this money or anymore.
    PS the product never turned up, which if I can ever get hold of them is in breach of their T&C's.

  • hi martin, i fell for it to, and got on to trading standards after having my card number changed, thing is there are no numbers or email to get into contact, and i never received a product either. This is what consumer direct sent me:

  • Thanks for the replies - aghhhhh I feel so stupid. I have had a bad time with work lately and was so desperate to get some money I fell for this! No I am completely sc***ed, and I'm so scared they are going to keep doing it. I have cancelled my card, although I know that wont stop them. I have tried ringing that number and leaving messages and emailing this Katie Davies but surprisingly nothing.

    Yes that link does redirect you to ultra white - but called them and they were completely useless - I dont understand how by filling in the form on THEIR website this other company have got my money. :mad:
  • well if they keep taking money out of my account, im blaming the bank because they have assured me it won't happen, anyway i'll just transfer money to another account and the !!!!!!!s won't get their money ha
    but im just gutted i didn't get the whitener lol the price i paid for some slight vanity :/
