Huge scam
I apparently agreed to a trial subscription to this website when I signed up for a "free-trial" offer for a tooth whitener. I never was directed to another site to accept an offer. They have charged me $24.82 for 4 months. I called them and they refused a refund, would not let me speak with anyone else and would not give me another name of someone to talk to. His name was Cory and he told me that at the top of the webpage, it noted it was a non-refundable subscription. I went to the site and found nothing about any trial oranything that backed up what he told me.
This is definitely a huge scam.

how could this happen?

unauthorized charges
I was also scammed! I ordered a trial of Dazzle Smile (charged for the trail, received it, cancelled it, sent it back & did receive a full credit on the full retail amount they later charged me & thought that I was done). Later I received a charge for $24.82 from elitepack. I called my credit card company & they gave me their phone number 866-396-2729. I called & was told that when you order Dazzle Smile you also receive a free trial membership to World Club Fitness (unless you opt out - which I did - guess it doesn't matter). They are very rude! They answer like robots with their "No refunds" "We are protected by..." - why are they protected? What about us? I asked for a supervisor & was told that one will call me back... we'll see.
In the meantime... I called my credit card company back and filed a dispute. My credit card company graciously removed the charges from my account & will go after this company. What I would like to share is some information my credit card company shared with me. Basically the Dazzle Smile offer was a way to get my credit card information, then they charge the credit card with charges from any of their 9 sister companies - however this is all one company! If you have contact with them (note everything & keep cancellation #s, etc) tell them to never charge your account again under any of their companies. Another of their sister companies is how to make money at home with Google. They are in no way associated with Google - Google is trying to get them to stop, but they keep changing their name slightly making it harder to stop them. I definitely urge you to contact your credit card or financial institution & file a dispute and/or if all else fails - change your account information.
Sorry this is so long, but hopefully it will help someone! I like the idea below of sending letters to the Federal Trade Commission & the Attorney General. I refuse to keep quiet & let them walk all over me!
