I guess you'd call these one of those "life lessons" everyone keeps telling me about. One of those "I was stupid last year and now it's coming to bite me in the butt" things. Well, I guess most scams work that way, eh?
So here's the deal: When I ordered Proactive last year, they had a little "Try Vitapower for only $3!" thing that I clicked on. I figured, "Hey, I'm a poor college student who's not eating right, maybe a vitamin supplement will be good for me." Here's the thing- after I got that $3 sample try, they started charging me $34.99 for it every couple of months... I swear, it was like they monitored my account and charged it everytime I didn't have enough money in my account so I would overdraft. (Or maybe I was just really poor...) Of course, I was too stupid to notice that I actually wasn't GETTING the stuff they were charging me for, and I had never actually ORDERED the supplements. Until now. Almost a year later. So... BEWARE THE VITAPOWER SCAM!! Now I have to go into the bank and file a fraud claim to get my money back! Meh.
Punch List-
#1- Vitapower. A big old junk-punch. Maybe a junk-kick would be better.
#2- Proactiv. Why haven't they picked up on this and why aren't they doing anything about it?? I wonder if they're getting a cut of the money. IT'S STOLEN, PEOPLE! THAT'S ILLEGAL.
#3- The man who thought up the first scam. This would be a junk-punch as well.
