Silkies Enriche Complaint - Unsolicited Products From Silke Enriche - Skin Cream

Skin Cream - Complaint
Review by nsgirl on 2007-10-16
I too received an unsolicited package from this company. Since I didn't recognize the company name, I threw the package out. Then I started receiving nasty letters demanding payment. Trying to write in response that I discard unsolicited mail, seems to be beyond their understanding and they keep insisting I pay up. Then I threatened to pass it on to legal council. I never received an answer to that letter. Today, many months later another letter arrived which will be discarded unopened.

I wonder how many people just pay up rather than complain just to be rid of them. Maybe that is what they hope for.

I would not have thrown it out, but would have written"return to sender" on it and sent it back. Throwing the letters in the garbage may result in it being sent to collections and ruining your credit rateing.

We had a sleazy company send us a bill for Yellow Page advertising in some crappy phone book. I read it, if we did not reply that we did "not" want the ad then we agreed to pay for it. Sent a certified return telling them to pound sand and that I reported them to the State Attorney Generals Office. Never heard from them again and they have since shut down. There are a lot of real scams running out there, protect yourself.

http://www.usps.com/postalinspectors/fraud/merch.htm USPS rule says: "Furthermore, it is illegal for a company that sends you unordered merchandise to follow the mailing with a bill or dunning communication." Keep the package, when they bill you tell them you are turning them over to the Postal Inspector.

Unsolicited mail is considered a gift.

nsgirl, I too agree with the others and you should protect yourself. Make note of the letters and put return to sender on them send them back. Also do what Timboss says its a good idea. Good luck

Good info Timboss.

I also agree with everyone else. I would send anything that they send you back certified/return receipt as well as call them and let them know that any more contact from them will warrant a call to the postal inspector. We had a company send us a "gift" in the mail and we sent it back the next day along with a letter stating that we did not order or want what ever they were giving us and to please stop all further correspondence to our address. Never heard from them again after that.

You should have wrote REFUSED-DID NOT ORDER on the package and sent it back.
Good luck.

Hoo-boy! Reminds me of something my Sis and some of her teenage (at that time) friends pulled on another gal who was quite a trouble maker at school. They went through all the popular magazines of the day (Seventeen, Glamour, etc.) and filled in all the forms they could find with the trouble maker's name and address. Of course, these were order blanks that required no up-front payment. And these rotten(?) kids thought it was funny. Course, I did too since I knew the subject of their wrath. Maybe the poster has a disgruntled 'friend?'

In Canada, return to sender mail is not sent back to the Company. It is destroyed.

You should have put some postage on it and returned it. You created this problem.
Good luck.
