Resveratrol Scam Alert! Yes, you may have seen information about the red wine ingredient known as resveratrol on 60 Minutes as having many benefits such as anti aging, weight loss, anti oxidant properties and the like, but you will want to beware of the many supplement scams for this ingredient that are now appearing everywhere on the net.
These pills and supplements go by such names as RezV, Resveratrol Ultra, HealthRezV, Certified Resveratrol, RezMelts, Rezveratrol Miracle and other healthy sounding names. All of these supplement makers supposedly offer free trials of their pills where all you have to do is pay for shipping and handling in the amount of $5 to $7 and you get to try the product for 14 or 15 days. The issue is, as soon as you order and pay for the shipping, giving out your credit card number, your supposed free trial starts right then.
So by the time you get your free resveratrol trial, you have about 3 to 4 days to actually try the product. But the biggest thing that happens, because you probably didn't read the terms of service hidden in a link at the bottom of the page, is that once your 14 days are up, your credit card starts getting billed $70 to $90 per month because you unknowingly signed up for a monthly shipment of this junk.
But it gets even worse. Once you finally discover that you've been ripped off and see that your credit card is getting billed, it becomes near impossible to cancel your shipment of these products. And believe me, many people are trying to cancel their shipments of Resveratrol because they had no idea what they were getting themselves into. Check out the resveratrol complaints for yourself at ComplaintsBoard.com, there are already 138 of them (as of the publishing of this page) and this product hasn't even been out as long as some of the other re-bill scams such as acai berry supplements.
To legitimize their pills and supplements the manufacturers or distributors of these products make their order pages seems as though Oprah Winfrey, Dr Oz or Barbara Walters have endorsed these products by including pictures of one or more of them. This is the furthest thing from the truth. None of these celebrities have endorsed any of these products of any kind. In fact, Oprah is vigorously going after companies that use her image in their advertising.
If you want to try any product that contains resveratrol just to see what it does for you there isn't any reason to get caught up in a scam where you get billed a monthly charge of $90 a month or more. You can find tone of resveratrol supplements at Vitamin Shoppe that will cost you from $5 to about $40 depending on what they do for you. Then if you like what they do, you can order them at your discretion on an as needed basis.
Don't fall for the resveratrol or alternate spelling, rezveratrol scam, and get your credit card billed every month.
