Hydroderm, Automatic Billing & Shipment, Culver City, Califormia billing your card without permission Culver City California
Hydroderm is a deceptive company. Once again, I should have known, "free trial" and a credit card number do not mix.
I have reported Hydroderm to the Federal Trade Commission. It seems much a similar situation as the one where the FTC on behalf of the United States sued Mantra Entertainemnt i.e. Girls Gone Wild.
The FTC sued Mantra over such "automatic billing" as Hydroderm practices. Apparently these guys, boffo for "Girls Gone Wild" would order these videos and unknowingly, be enrolled to spend about $30 a month getting a new video every 30 days.
I ordered the "free trial offer" for Hydroderm for just a few dollars, then 20 days later, I was in trouble with my bank account because they charged $55.90 and I became overdrawn.
Once I started looking, I am amazed at the vast number of people out there complaining about the same problem. What is even more heeelarious, is the amount of actual reps and obvious company plants who issue rebuttals to these claims on the Internet. Oh that's rich. That's wonderful. Great.
Hey Hydroderm, if your doing something totally legit, there is no reason to get all pissy and have to defend your actions. But you have to answer these claims, you have to defend your position, why? Because there are so many people out there who are mad at you.
Why? It must be because a poor, innocent, upfront company like hydroderm is being attacked by all these wrinkle-prone fools who just don't have sense enough to read the fine print.
It couldn't be because Hydroderm is a deceptive, sneaky company that preys on vanity, working women with not enough time to read lengthy contracts and just plain foolishness on our part.
O.k., so fine, I got burned. You win. I accept that. But you won't do it to me again. And you can bet I'll tell everyone I know and I'll help spread the word so you don't do it to any other consumer that reads this.
Viva la Hydroderm Consumer Revolution!

Jennifer, turn off your computer and get down to the bank!
A crook has your account number! They'll send out monthly deductions until your card is maxed out!
Read the editor's instructions on removing these charges. Act now before they close up shop and move on!
You can't stop them. Hydroderm becomes pacyderm. Then, they close and open again under Lubriderm. Two months later it's Phisoderm.
That's not how you win. You beat a fraud by never sending them a dime in the first place. You may get the last laugh if you work hard to get your money back.
But, it would have been so much easier for you if you just never gave them your account in the beginning. Now, you got to chase after your own money.
Read your 2nd sentence: I should have known. Guess you know now, huh? Good luck getting your money back!
