Heart Guardian Informative - Seems a Scam - cholesterolblock

cholesterolblock
Review by AvoidScams on 2007-05-30
PITTSBURG, TEXAS -- Originally came into contact through NewsMax. There was a lot of info, too much, and I got out of it that a free month of CholestroBlock was available. Second Opinion was mentioned, a monthly letter I respect, have subscribed to for a couple of years. The C-Block was to be sent free, and then if one wanted to continue they would be to my Visa card. I gave them my Visa # never suspecting I was at the beginning of a scam.

The next step in the scam is when the Bank of America calls and says my Visa has been charged $1 five times, and wants to know if this is legitimate. I though this couldn be too serious. I suppose HG is testing my Visa for validity. This is the set up to give HeartGuardian legitimacy. The first month was suppose to be free. Thinking about this development, I called my VISA provider, and told them I wanted no charges to my account from HG. I was passed to Pat Thomas (B of A). This man defended HG with heart and soul over 15 minutes. He talked in circles trying to discredit me. I was so digusted with this man I told him to close my Visa account. This took most of time of our conversation. He was somewhat disrespectful knowing that it was a MOAA card. I had to insist several tiomes that the account be closed. To make a long story short this was an unpleasant experience.

From what I've read it seems most folks don't have much success with this product... Though I have read a few comments on here where it was successful (slightly)... All of these "free" trial scams usually have the details of how you are going to get screwed buried in the small print. Unfortunately most of us don't have the vision required to read the tiny print...
