Type of a scam Online Purchase
The Scam begins with a compelling advertisement on Facebook, supposedly endorsed by Dr. Oz, and claimed to be Christie Brinkley’s secret to defying aging, but is revealed as a scam when you attempt to redeem the $4.95 offer, experiencing faulty or inactive tabs/links, and later check your credit card statements.
The company, BWH*GLOWINGSKIN, as posted on my credit card statement, made an unauthorized charge ($89.94) involved in what was advertised as a risk free trial for another product advertised on Facebook. In the online check-out process for Nexacell, two more products; Enrich Vitamin C serum and Novaderm Eye Cream were bundled in without my consent in what appeared to be a glitchy website problem (I was unable to decline). The terms of the purchase, fees, and reoccurring debits were not clearly disclosed in the ad, purchase process, nor included in the shipment. The vendor of Nexacell, which appears on my credit card statement as RBN*REBORNSKIN also made an unauthorized charge of almost the same amount ($89.85) on the same day, yet claimed to not be affiliated with BWH*GLOWINGSKIN.
