This was a special offer on the internet via email using the Costco name. The offer was for a $50.00 gift certificate and you were given the options to choose one of 3 or 4 different items. The special offer stated you are only responsible for the shipping cost that was $4.95 and stated no strings attached and no commitments. This is contrary to the Terms & Conditions.
Two week later I noted a charge on my bank account for $97.67. I immediately called Skin Fresh MD customer service. I was told I would have to pay the $97.67 and could cancel the subscription at this point. I advised I never signed up for any subscription and this was totally false advertisement and a rip-off. The representative further advised I would have had to cancel the subscription within 14 days to avoid further charges. I advised how would I have known to cancel anything within 14 days if this was not included in the advertisement, especially when the offer was for a $50.00 gift certificate only.
I found this to be very deceptive advertising.

Everyone, When you see any product that is a low price or you get something "free", BEWARE!!! This happens all the time and people continue to fall for this. If you want to try anything just pay full price or you will end up paying Too Much Money and won't even know it until it is too late. I have learned that buying Most Products on Ebay is cheaper than buying most products from their own website and most sellers offer Free Shipping. Until everyone "gets' that "too good to be true" really IS too good to be true, this will continue to happen and people will have surpise large charges on their credit cards..... DON'T let anyone Rip You OFF!
