On Feb 3rd,2009,I was searching online for an inexpensive tooth whitener and was led to a link called Celebrity Sexy Teeth (in hindsight,the daft name alone should have tipped me off...),which offered to send a sample of the item for a $ 4.95 shipping and handling charge. As soon as my credit card info was captured,all at once I was taken to a page that informrd me that I was going to be charged $54.95 and get some kind of mail in rebate.

Outraged,I promptly contacted my card company,who told me to contact the merchant.The phone number on the site got me to a chap who claimed to be merely the website administrator.Further calls got me to a series of recorded messages.

My card company said that "it would be taken care of".Yup. A letter from the fraud dept. and a fax back from me and a few weeks later,the card company rebilled me for the transaction- twice. In addition,the WellnessWatchers lads were allowed to charge me another $99.99.

I have been calling Capital One right from the get-go and they seem unwilling to lose the chance to earn the money and interest they are earning on these charges,asking me to produce documents that I simply do not posess.Since I am not in the forgery business,I am unable to create invoices which I was not tendered but which Capital One continues to demand if I want the charges reversed.

Between WellnessWatchersMD and Capital One, I am deeply disgusted.The entire point of lodging a complaint with your card company is to have them prevent an unscrupulous company from preying upon their customers. I have informed the agents of Capital One that I am going to close my account at the end of this week if they are unable to sort this out to my satisfaction and,folks,I am as serious as Hepatitis B about this. This should not happen to someone who has made every good faith effort to resolve this issue.

Response from WellnessWatchersMD

AUTHOR: Charity - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Monday, July 27, 2009

Please call me at 1-866-956-2710 so I can take care of this for you right away. My name is Charity, and my hours are 10am-6pm Central Standard Time. Personally, I think that WellnessWatchersMD is a pretty good deal, or I wouldn't work here. They send out thousands of $25 gift cards and $50 rebate checks every month. They also help hundreds of people with their Ask-the-Doctor service. If you were charged by mistake, I am authorized to give you a refund.
