For many months now, a number of companies and Web sites selling Resveratrol have been illegally using images of Dr. Oz and Oprah, sometimes even with fake endorsements. Allegedly, these companies dupe people into ordering free trials only to begin charging them incredible monthly amounts of over $80 for a monthly supply of Resveratrol, which some reports say do not contain trans-Resveratrol at all. To make matters worse, the companies refuse to cancel these reoccurring charges, leaving some people forced to report the credit cards as stolen.
This month, Oprah and Dr. Oz have officially filed suit against many of these companies seeking various damages and penalties. You can read more about it here http://www.forbes.com/2009/08/20/oprah-winfrey-resveratrol-business-healthcare-oz.html
As a Resveratrol company, we are ReserveAge Organics are pleased to see these companies exposed and terminated. On a nearly daily basis, we speak with people who have been scammed by such companies and hear their unfortunate stories. In addition, we see the damage that companies like this do to the reputation of the legitimate Resveratrol industry. The faster these companies are removed, the better for everyone.
A few common Resveratrol scams to watch out for:
Fake endorsements are common: Oprah and Dr. Oz do not endorse any brand of Resveratrol. If you have signed up for a free trial of Resveratrol based on an alleged endorsement by Dr. Oz or Oprah, you have fallen victim to these scam artists.
No trans-Resveratrol: Many companies sell Resveratrol without any trans-Resveratrol included. Please check the ingredients to ensure that the product has as least 100 mg of trans-Resveratrol per dosage. In addition, if you are paying more than $30 for a 100 mg trans-Resveratrol dose, then you are paying too much.
