on 1/18/10In July 2009 I saw an advert on TV from Pure Lift.com offering a free sample; it asked for your credit card number and (foolishly) I gave mine. When the package arrived it seemed too much for a free sample so I returned it marked - not ordered/not wanted/return to senders... a P O Box number in Auckland. My July Credit Card Statement showed Pure Lift charging $24.21 plus a Webaccess and Foreign Currency Fee $5.08. I received no further package - surely this was not the Free Sample charge. Since then I have been chrged further sums from Pure Lift and from Site Jabber this is a scam. I would welcome more news and possible progress to sort this out.

OMG! Another poor soul drubbed by this crowd? I ordered the free sample together with another product called ResV, of which a website exists. The one duly arrived, but the PureLift didnt. I got some stupid piece of paper, and on the lable it suggested the instructions for the serum, which was not even in the packet! I have had many charges taken off my credit card, for samples not received, etc and like Ida, am at a loss. All I can say, is that Internet shopping carries far greater risks for consumers as there is little or no recourse when it all goes wrong.
I guess some people do not have a conscience. Anyone else out there been caught out with this scam? My advice is to throughly check out any site like that and go on search engines and check for scams or check on websites that expose these type of scams. It is a sick feeling when you realise you have been had!
If your credit card has been charged for goods you did not order, you should notify your credit card company that this is a known scam and that it has been reported as such by several other people. They will either know about this one already, or be able to use Google to find the other complaints. complaintsboard.com has about a dozen identical complainants and there are several here at SiteJabber as well.
The reputation of this company is such that instead of Google listing the company website at the top of a search on the domain name, it lists instead two pages of complaints about the company at complaintsboard.com. If that wasn't telling enough, the product itself is advertised on sites which also promote acai weight loss supplements. Enough said?
