Energy Enhancing Research Velatol Misleading offer sent by mail Redmond Washington

This AM I went onto the velatol.com website and pretended to be a customer that wanted a free sample. I put in a fake name and address in order to get to the screen where they ask for your credit card. Their Terms and Conditions are clearly printed in a small box underneath the spaces where you fill in your credit card info. I'm sorry that I didn't do this before I wrote my report; however, many of the things I said there, should still give someone pause before purchasing the product. Their claims about saving you money are simply false. And I was led to believe that they hadn't received my order for a free bottle (but, if I had been thinking straight I would have asked myself how they got my address). Just wanted to set the record straight. As a matter of principle, I believe that this type of marketing--automatic enrollment in a purchase plan--should be outlawed. This is different than the Book and Music Clubs that send you product that you have to return or get billed for (though I don't like those either) because they don't automatically sign you up for the Club in the first place.

If you're wondering why I took the time to check this out further, it's because I was planning to complain to the BBB; so far, they have no complaints against this company. I wanted to be absolutely certain that I was being 100% fair to them before filing a complaint. I may still do so, but doubt it will have any impact. I hope this has been helpful to someone out there.
