Help! Teeth Whitening Scam?
http://weeklyconsumertips.net/Teeth-Whitening/?t20...
I was browsing the web and found my way to this website. After being made fun of by my brother for having yellow teeth (he paid the dentist to bleach his) i decided to try it. I went to both websites, and did as it said. I immediately cancelled the Denta White one, which was very easy. It is my understanding that i will receive a free trial from them without being billed. I then read in the terms and conditions that it signed me up for health-tracker.com and i have a month to cancel before i start getting billed $10 a month. I clicked on the link to cancel, it asked for my email address, and when I typed in my email address to cancel my subscription, it told me that there was no account registered to that email address. What the heck?? What should I do?
I went to the other website, Smile Whites Pro, and read that I have to return the product within 14 days of ordering or else I would get billed about $80. Which since i just ordered today, and I dont have the product, how can I expect to have to product back to them within 2 weeks, when i dont even have the product to mail off? I am worried that it will take too long to get here, and because it is such a short time, I will be forced to pay $80 for this scam.
What can i do? I JUST ordered this stuff like 20 minutes ago, then realized i made a stupid mistake. I cant afford to pay for those scams. If they both go through, then i will be overdrafted. Helpful info: I am not 18, i am 17, but I have my own debit card. Is there any way to make sure I dont get scammed? Please help!
Its sunday, and both scam websites are closed, so i cant call customer support.
Today is Sunday. Should I try to call the bank, or wait until tomorrow when they open?

Currently in the same boat............as we speak. Ordered "free trial" for DentaWhite and SmilesPro. Cancelled "enrollment" today online after reading fraud reviews. I just hung up with the bank! Cancelled the card ASAP before they rack up charges. But do so immediately, you have to beat them at their game! Call as soon as customer service opens-tell your bank that you got youself in a little dilemma and you need their help getting you out! Explain, cancel the card, simple as that. They will send you another card in about 5-7 business days. Contact those with whom you use your card to pay bills to so that they will have the new card number. Hey, this is life....some people say you live and you learn....that's true... but you also learn and you live...Good luck- all we wanted were whiter teeth...LOL!

First of all. None of this junk works...if it did, you'd be able to find it over at Walgreens...aren't most of the claims rather unbelieveable, just look up "single mom discovers". Anyways, it you are actually willing to spend your hard earned money on this junk, go get a $25 visa gift card. When the $25 is gone, they can't charge you anymore.

Unfortunately the web page didn't crash on me and I signed up for the "trial present" I stupidly gave my bank card main points and anticipated handiest to pay for the agreed p&p. Clean Whites took £153 from my account and despatched me 2 syringes of whitener! I needed to touch my bank card manufacturer and was once informed I was once "one in every of countless numbers who have been ripped off". They are going to dam additional requests for fee, however sadly, I am nonetheless out of pocket for the cash they already took. The reality you didn't deliver them your banking main points way that they've no curiosity in you and you are going to be left in peace. The web page need to were withdrawn simply on the second you had been approximately to end up an extra sufferer. You can leisure convenient and be thankful you weren't as dull as me!
