Everybody knows how difficult it is to lose weight. Not only do you have to cut out all the foods you love so much (pizza, pasta, bread, cakes etc) but you also have to sweat it out at the gym for hours on end. This is all very well, but it can leave you thinking “there must be an easier way!”
So it’s no wonder that the slimming pill industry is so utterly massive. Every day there seems to be yet another product hitting the market. Often these products are pretty expensive and it’s difficult to know whether they’re actually going to work properly or not.
This is why the lure of the free trial is simply too tempting to resist. Just pop your address details in a form along and you’ll be sent a 14 day free trial.
What’s So Bad About That?
Well, it’s quite simple really. In addition to handing over your name and address, you’ll also be handing over your credit card details in order to pay for the postage and packing.
Because you’re so excited by the prospect of a slimmer body with little effort, you haven’t noticed that you are being signed up to an auto-ship agreement.
What is Auto-Shipping?
You may well have experienced auto-shipping in the past if you’ve ever signed up to get a free/cheap book or CD. Before you know it, you’re being sent items you didn’t order and trying to get them to stop is not easy.
The same thing is happening in the weight loss industry. The vast majority of companies offering free trials on slimming pills employ this marketing technique. Choyung is one such company you should be wary of. Many people have tried and failed to receive refunds. Even if they do get a refund, it’s often minus tax which means you don’t get all of your money back.
How To Avoid Being Scammed?
First of all you need to be very careful to read up on all of the small print of the website to find out what the terms of the deal is. Also read comments made by real people on forums and blogs.
Be wary of any website that pretends to have reviews of products when in actual fact they are only interested in selling you products via their affiliate link (so they can earn a commission).
You’re probably better off staying away from free trials altogether. Instead look for companies who offer a solid money back guarantee. Proactol is the sort of company you should be buying slimming pills from instead because they offer a 6 month money back guarantee. If in the unlikely event you don’t enjoy the slimming benefits of Proactol, you can simply return the product for a full refund.
Remember: Genuine companies don’t need to resort auto-shipping which is a very dirty under-hand tactic..
Unlike other companies, Proactol doesn’t get involved in shady marketing practices.
