When I first started with Meaningful Beauty I told the operator that using my credit card would be a "one time only" thing to order their trial package. And I also told them not to send me anything unless I ordered the product and I would be sending them a check for those purchases. The operator told me "no problem" and that it would be stated on my account.
In October 2010 Meaningful Beauty of Des Moines, IA sent an unauthorized package to me. I sent it back, through the Post Office, unopened and "Return to Sender" refused. In November 2010 they sent me a bill. I called and spoke to an operator who informed me returns take a while to get back and be processed and they would note that I called on my account. I told the operator "do not" send me anymore packages! This customer relationship is no more.
In December 2010 they sent yet another bill and this time I sent a letter to Bruce Greenwood, in accounting, explaining my situation and never heard back from him or anybody for that matter. Also during December they sent another unauthorized package in the mail! I sent it back through the Post Office unopened and REFUSED!
Now it is January 2011 and I receive yet another bill. I've contacted the BBB and anyone else who will listen. What is a person supposed to do? What kind of a scam are they running?

I had seen this commercial several times before and finally decided to order. I went online and ordered while the commercial was still running. I know for a fact that it stated that it was $110 worth of products for $39.95 plus packaging. If it had said it was $39.95 per month then I would never have ordered. The package I received had a letter enclosed stating that I would automatically receive further products after 90 days. I decided to try it for a month and if I didn't like it, then I would cancel the repeat orders, but I never got the chance to do that. Within 30 days I received another package and my account was debited for another $39.95. I called to complain and told them I would return the package, which I did. I never received a refund. Lo and behold, 30 days later my account is charged with another $39.95, which put me into overdraft. It wasn't until then that I searched online and realized that this is a familiar story. I've contacted my bank and let them know that there's unauthorized payments coming out of my account. As far as I'm concerned, this is nothing short of fraud and shame on Cindy Crawford for endorsing and promoting this product, especially now that she's revealed that her youthful skin is thanks to her cosmetic surgeon and not to her creams. I'm disgusted and wonder if she sleeps well at night knowing that she's made a fortune at the expense of others through deception.

File a complaint with the California Attorney General's Office against this company.

I did and got all my money back.

Ordered the trail offer and 30 days later started getting charges in the amount of $154.29 on my debit card.
Notified the bank and disputed the charges. Called the Merchant and requested a refund. Merchant refused to refund the money until the product (which hadn't yet been shipped) was returned. Merchant stated they could not stop the shipment.

I cancelled by debit card to avoid further charges and I failed a complaint with the California Attorney General for deceptive trade practices and fraudulent billing practices. I recommend everyone else do the same.

I personally can't believe someone of Cindy Crawford's status would endorse a rip off like this Meaningful Beauty. Oh yeah, they pay her to use her name and use her in the infomercial on the mess, but it is a ripoff deluxe and I want my money back and I bet I get it. I won't stop until I do. They get you on the phone and tell you that "Cindy recommends this and Cindy recommends that" and before you know it if you are not vigilent you've raked up these huge charges. Thank goodness I knew what to expect when I called so I told them to save it for someone else, I just want the advertised special and NOTHING else. They kept on and on though ( they MUST be paid commission is all I can think of because these little ninnies they have taking and processing the orders for Cindy Crawford herself since Cindy is so busy. OK, now THIS is what's going to even piss YOU off. I wanted to use some of the so-called "Glowing Serum" last night. I pumped and pumped and nothing came out so I resigned myself to the fact that it was all gone. Then I got to thinking...there should be NO way this is all gone already. The more I thought about it the more sure I was. I then proceeded to take the cap off of the pump bottle...you know, it's the little small bottle. I had to get a pair of needle nose pliers to get the little tip off of the bottle. People, I couldn't believe what I saw when I got everything off of the top of the bottle. I looked down into the bottle to see if there was enoug h for me to get a cotton tipped applicator inside and get some more of the product out. The bottle was maybe 3/4 fake people. There was a ledge like bottom inside that covered the diameter about 3/4 of the way from the bottom of the container. They are ripping people off by giving them s tiny amount of product and from the size of the bottle it makes you think you are getting a travel sized bottle. I'm sure a lot of people do not take the tip off of that bottle and look down into it. I just can't believe they thought they could get by with doing that indefini tely and people wouldn't get wise??? Oh and by the way, Gunthy-Rinker"when you call to see about ordering JUST the

"Glowing Serum" they say you can't order it...you have to order the WHOLE kit to get that one little bottle of "Glowing Serum". I will NEVER EVER order anything like this again from television and if I can't see if before I buy it I'm running!
