I suspect that due to the nature of the offering most people that complete the order think they are making a one-time payment and do not realize that they are going to be rebilled on an ongoing basis. A contract entered this way cannot be said to be made using reasonable commercial standards of fair dealing and therefore is not binding.

I have to say I was scammed too. I was under the impression I was suppose to call them and let them know I would like to continue to receive the Biolab antiwrinkle cream but I was wrong. I just noticed 2 charges in my bank account for 89.53 (12/11/09 & 12/22/09) and what I found unusual is one came from Sup*Colon Cleans with this phone number 866-276-7906 and the other was YoutHealth without a phone number. So I decided to call the company because I didn’t know for what I was being charged.
When I called I had no idea who I was calling and they didn’t tell me the name of the company until I gave them my name, address and phone number.
It was my fault for not reading the small letters (which is where they get you) the problem I have is the name of the company they used when withdrawing money from my bank account. This is fraud. I asked them I wanted an e-mail confirmation that I was canceling and they said they couldn’t do that, to just write the RMA number outside the box when I returned the product. I’m really concern they won’t stop charging me $89.53/month and since there is no paper trail it’s my word against theirs.
I’ll never order a product unless I research the company and don’t take things for free because it will cost you. Nothing is free these days.

The other thousands of us who read the free trial fine print and backed out before giving billing information are now haunted by the constant annoying calls from these companies trying to secure the rest of the information they need to complete the scam. They call several times a day. When you tell them you are not interested and to stop calling it just continues. If you come across these resveratrol free trial sites do not enter any information. They will contact you weather you completed a transaction with them or not.

Scam, scam, scam! When is the world going to wake up and understand that there are no magic solutions to aging. Health is a personal responsibility that includes COMMON SENSE, morons!

Charlotte,

You may be able to read and write but you obviously didn’t read the terms of purchase. On the resveratrolultra order page it clearly states that the trial is for 14 days and then you will be charged $87.13 monthly as part of their auto delivery program. They could have explained it more clearly in my opinion, but nevertheless, it’s there in black and white. I don’t know how you can call them scammers when you are told what you are going to be charged right next to the fields where you enter your credit card info.

You are not a victim, you are negligent.

I, too, was scammed by Resveratrol distributor BioLabs. After paying $3.95 for my “free trial,” I found $40.00 drafted from my checking account. A call to the BioLabs toll-free number resulted in a conversation with a call center employee who gave me a well-rehearsed speech regarding my failure to read the terms of the offer thoroughly. I have a Master’s in journalism — I can read — and write.

I am a huge fan of Dr. Oz and his endorsement of the product played a big part in my decision to request the so called “free trial.” I am glad to see that he also was dubbed. This goes a long way in restoring my confidence in Dr. Oz.

I would welcome the opportunity to engage in a lawsuit involving these scammers.

Resveratrol is a powerful antioxidant that provides many benefits. It is unfortunate that a few people choose to do something like this and leave a bad impression to a supplement that can help people. Always purchase from a reputable source that has a proven track record and choose a manufacturer that produces to GMP’s (Good Manufacturing Practices) to assure you are getting what you are paying for. And most of all remember the old saying “there is no such thing as a free lunch”.
