Type of a scam Online Purchase
Tried to take advantage of a free offer for Allura-Serum, advertised by Jo Gaines. Only the 5.95 shipping/handling was purported to be charged to my Debit Card. NO WHERE was I informed that there was a 14-day trial period and that thereafter I would be charged 89.95 for ANYTHING. I chose to order the product "Allura-Serum" and to pay the 5.95 shipping fee. When I attempted to check out with the order of the Allura, a pop-up came up for "Allusiv-cream" a sister to the Allura product, and you could not check out or do anything else but agree to purchase the Allusiv. Today, two charges popped up on my bank statement, $89.95 for Beauty Adjust (aka Allura) and $85.95 went to Beauty Boost Pro; both businesses are located in Redondo Beach, California. Both companies seem to be under the parent Skin Allure/Houston Venture Group, LLC, Skin Allure Brands, 7251 W. Lake St., Ste 300, Las Vegas, NV 89128-8380. This company has to be stopped from ripping off any more consumers.
