InstantlyVivid For Those Who Want "More"

About 2 weeks ago, I saw an ad pop up while I was on my computer. It was for a face cream that supposedly works wonders for the face.

They were offering the facial cream for $4.95, the cost of shipping.

Having been scammed years ago with a different company with a similar scheme, I was very careful to look for any fine print regarding recurring billing.

NO WHERE on that ad did it say anything about future automatic shipping and billing after the $4.95 cream arrived.
Got my credit card statement today which showed 2 charges from Instantly Vivid 15. One charge was for $4.95 and another charge was for $89.87... 11 days apart.

I called my credit card company, explained the situation and told them that I wanted to DISPUTE the $89.87 charge.

They asked if I had called the company first and I said no.

I called the company, repeated the same story that I shared with my credit card company. I told the woman that I did not sign and / or agree to future shipping and billing of their product.

The woman had the gall to tell me that the recurring shipping and billing info was right above where I put my name, address and credit card info.

I told her that it MOST CERTAINLY WAS NOT.

I asked for a cancellation number and she eventually gave me one. I called my credit card company, who had already put that charge in dispute, and gave them the cancellation number.

A few more comments.

Their online ad says that the company is owned by Kathie Lee Gifford.

The jar I received is 1 ounce. Inside the jar is a plastic lining, so you get even LESS of the cream than if the jar were completely filled.

I guess I'll never find out if the size of the jar for $89.87 is the same size I received. If it is, saying that this company is getting away with highway robbery would be paying them a compliment.

Oh and one more thing... This product claims to have many healthy natural ingredients. After putting a magnifying glass to the ingredient list on their label, I was very hard pressed to find more than 4 "healthy" ingredients and they were at or near the end of the long laundry list.
