Nopal Cactus (Prickly Pear) "Free Trial" Scam - The Anatomy Of The Scam & How To Avoid It
(*) See Disclaimer at the bottom of the page.
Scams are common and somewhat ubiquitous on the Internet, especially in the Nopal Cactus (Prickly Pear) product marketplace. Although these nopal cactus (prickly pear) product "Free Offer" scams are quickly shut down by authorities, the scammers open back up under a different business name within hours of being shut down.
Let's get more familiar with the anatomy of the "free trial nopal cactus (prickly pear)" product scam; some of this may sound familiar.
First, you receive an enticing offer to try a "free" nopal cactus (prickly pear) product and only pay a nominal shipping and handling cost. Secondly, during sign up, you are presented with another nopal cactus (prickly pear) product offers such as paid magazine subscriptions, a paid nopal cactus (prickly pear) product membership to the site (which should be your first warning), free upgraded nopal cactus (prickly pear) products and/or anything else under the sun.
Once you've completed the necessary steps (which includes providing your credit card number), the steel cage door is slammed shut. Now, you're locked into the auto-ship product scam, and this is where your nightmare begins.
Under the terms of your agreement, if you don't cancel within 30-days, you will be charged a monthly nopal cactus (prickly pear) product subscription. Unfortunately, there is no way to cancel so you look for an email address, telephone number or any other contact information only to find that all you have is a company name, website address, and physical post office box location.
Those that are Internet savvy can find the information they need by going to the Internet Domain Registry and doing a search for the domain name. However, you may reach a dead end and find that the nopal cactus (prickly pear) website address is unlisted. The only real way to get the nopal cactus (prickly pear) company information is to either be in law enforcement or know someone with the right connections.
Once you have the nopal cactus (prickly pear) contact information of the company (that's if you do get it), you'll likely find an "out of service" message when you try to call them. If you're lucky enough to get a live person on the telephone, you'll be put on hold and transferred from one person to another like a ping-pong ball until you give up. In the end, you may wind up with some hefty telephone charges for your trouble, too.
You may have to resort to disputing the charges with your bank. This could take ages because the banks themselves can't trace and verify the nopal cactus (prickly pear) product transactions from these bogus nopal cactus product companies. Ultimately, out of sheer frustration and disgust, you have to cancel your credit card - another inconvenience! The whole ordeal has taken about three months to 'fix, ' and you're stuck with at least two months worth of nopal cactus (prickly pear) product that you can't return.
As you can't get your money back you decide that you may as well consume the nopal cactus (prickly pear) product you've purchased but to your dismay, you learn that the nopal cactus (prickly pear) supplement you paid so much for is inferior and the actual nopal cactus (prickly pear) content is almost non-existent!
That's how this nopal cactus (prickly pear) product scammers make their money - selling cheap nopal cactus (prickly pear) products and locking you into their subscription plans. This often happens with nopal cactus (prickly pear) juice because you only need to add water to dilute it and unless you have access to a product testing laboratory (which few people do), you will never know if you're drinking over-priced water or a nopal cactus (prickly pear) juice supplement.
How Do You Know Which Nopal Cactus (Prickly Pear) Companies Won't Scam You?
First, look to see how long the nopal cactus (prickly pear) company has been in business. A company that is not above-board will be here today and gone tomorrow. They will have no proven years of service history, and most will be less than one-year-old.
The second thing to look for is how prominently contact details are displayed on their website. Is there a mailing address and a working telephone number that you have verified?
Natural Home Cures has been in business since 2003, and our contact information is prominently displayed on almost every page of our website. In fact, just look at the top of this page; you will see our complete contact details on our banner that is visible on every single web pages that you visit.
Thirdly, ask the company if you can buy their nopal cactus (prickly pear) product as you need it instead of forcing you into paying a monthly charge for your nopal cactus "auto-ship." Alternatively, the site may automatically renew your nopal cactus (prickly pear) order every month but not officially lock you into a monthly contract: either "choice" should be considered unacceptable.
At Natural Home Cures, you only buy products "as needed." You are NEVER locked into a fixed recurring monthly charge.
The last thing to look for is the companies' nopal cactus (prickly pear) Money Back Policy. Most companies typically offer you only 30 days from the date of purchase to return your product. By the time you receive the first order your "return window" will have already expired.
The sad truth is most companies that offer free trial nopal cactus (prickly pear) product supplements are scammers. They just want your credit card number to lock you into a monthly nopal cactus (prickly pear) product subscription that, if you'd read all the fine print, you wouldn't have signed up for in the first place. They sell inferior nopal cactus (prickly pear) products and don't care about your health or well-being.
