I loved the product and eventually did not need it anymore. I contacted the returns number and they made the whole experience very smooth. I hope everyone sees that this company does explain its policies clearly and the product does really work! This company porvides a decent product and clear cancellation information.

My credit card has been charged $59.95 without my authorization. After complaining to them I got the usual reply. Return the product and your chrages will be reversed. It sounds incredible that in this day and age such companies are still not done with ripping innocent victims Today, I have become a victim of Caracol Cream scam.

I am from Canada and it takes a while for shipment to arrive. But only 1 day after I received the product, I found a charge on my credit card. I furiously called and a certain NORMA entertained my fury. What was the basis of their 14-day trial period to start charging. YOU CANNOT even cancel the order without waiting for the product and returning it thereafter. Based on the other's experiences, I went ahead and disputed the charge from my cc company and I was given a "return authorization number" - good luck to me, I hope NORMA actually cancelled the automatic order system they had. I am very nervous, though, that they will continue charging my cc, in which case I will ahve it disputed and cancel or change my cc. Same experience as the other ladies.

I had to go thru the bbb first. It worked for me, good luck! I finally got them to credit my credit card with the money that they “stole” from me. I had to go thru the bbb first.

Most of the products I have investigated have the method of operation: a product whose value is constantly questioned, a huge discount for the first shipment, a shipping and handling charge, an automatic monthly enrollment, a possible additional enrollment in another monthly service, a complicated cancelation process, etc. I have not investigated this connection, but I believe there is a link between these prolific web sites and the "Make $ on your computer at home" infomercials.

They have promised me complete satisfaction if I just return the product unopened. The interesting thing is that no one could tell me about Pam or who their CEO was. I will see if they make good on their promise. If not I will do whatever it takes to get satisfaction/ I have been chatting live with caracol cream for the last 40 minutes or so.

My question is: WHY is MSN side headlining this product (Caracol anti-wrinkle cream) on their Internet Explorer opening page news. If they know why are they still allowing it...If they don't why dont they? This product and the AAAA is obviously a scam.
