I've fallen for this scam, free trial and then charged £75.

Claiming not to have received the returned goods, and needing evidence of posting. Unfortunaltey I couldn't get postage or send recorded as it's in the Rep of Ireland - so has to go via airmail.

It's amazing how I got an email confirming cancellation but saying they didn't receive the product.

You have to read the T&C's very carefully - but still even £75 for two packet of these pills is outrageous.

As I've seen so many posts below on here now I'm going to actually write to Watchdog and see if they can investigate them. Please comment on my post if you wish to be involved.

They shouldn't be able to get away with it.

Happy to be involved!

Hi all,

Bought these earlier this month and paid via Paypal, just checked my account and all seems clear so far but I didn't buy on a trial basis. Keep you posted if anything comes up.

I very foolishly replied to an advertisement on Facebook for 99 pence face-cream. I should have listened to the tiny voice in my head telling me I would live to regret it, that it was probably too good to me true but I ignored it and boy did I regret it! I received the pot of cream really promptly, within a couple of days. I had only, I thought paid 99 pence. Then a few days later, I received a box of 3 tubes of Serum which I had not ordered, I had declined the offer. I didn't open the box as I was sure they would ask for money or for me to return it. A few days later on checking my bank account I was appalled to find that 2 separate amounts of £95.00 from SKIN CURE and £89.00 from SKIN24 SERUM were taken out of my account on 8th January. This left me with £30.00 with which to pay for 4 days of food for myself and my 5 children!!!! I never authorized these payment. Who it their right mind would spend £184.00 on face-cream?!! I managed to get 2 telephone numbers from my Bank that were associated with the company and was told by the Customer Services operator that they would refund me 50%. To-date this has not materialised. I have returned the Serum unopened and written to them threatening court proceedings but they must see this as a hollow threat. I am kicking myself for my own stupidity. If something looks too good to be true, it probably is. I am going to ring the number again tomorrow. How they can get away with taking money out of people's accounts is beyond me. I have notified the bank to stop any further transactions and have told the lady on Customer Services the same thing. Now I see just how many people have been scammed from the same Company. Someone is getting very rich on other people's hard earned money. I have felt so upset by this as realistically, I can see me having to accept I have lost £184.00 which I really need. It makes you loose faith in people. I know I shouldn't have given my details and I have paid for my gullibility in thinking it was a good deal. I will pursue it and hope this company is shut down.

remember if an 'alternative medicine' works, it becomes 'medicine' - willow bark begat aspirin, for instance, so if any kind of snake oil is promoted directly on the internet to purchasers, it is a pretty direct indication that it doesn't actually work.

This is a myth...lots of alternative medicine works and doesn't become mainstream medicine because pharmaceutical companies can't make money on them. You can't patent a natural product!

Unfortunately in a bid to loose weight a lot of people will clutch at any straw. We unfortunately clutched at the Lunar Essential straw!
My advice is to ring the number on the invoice slip immediately to cancel any further deliveries, provided you are within the 30 day window, which should stop any more deliveries from the USA.
Also contact your bank to explain the situation, many banks are aware of the situation, so they should be able to help. Our bank`s advice was to pay by Barclaycard and then the fight is with the big boys.

I have been caught out too, I am ashamed to admit it. I truely believed I was signinmg up for a free sample and just paying the postage. Had to call Florida to talk to someone who didnt give a toss and said I had agreed to the T&C's. I may have done so there was no confirmation of this when I placed the order and nothing with the Products when they arrived...Surely they should follow up on this? I would certainly have cancelled if it was brought to my attention. Why would I want to buy a product I hadnt yet had the chance to test fully? I am ashamed that I have paid out over £100 for stupid pills...
