I found an ad on a survey website for the Eden Cosmetics Company and it appeared to be a good deal. The makeup was Mineral Elements by Eden Cosmetics Company, and as we, all know Mineral Elements are the good stuff. This business took a real product and added their name.
The good deal was a trail offer for their basic trail pack of a dollar plus shipping for four dollars. I thought well I would get the makeup, try it, make, and article describing the products. This is a common practice with freelance writers, and I have often done reviews of products I have found in the local stores.
When the box was delivered, I was so glad I did not spend any more on it, as there was very little in the box. There was a 2.5-grams container of warmth powder, three cheap brushes in a vinyl packet. Also inside this box were three more 2.5-gram containers of foundations and a finishing powder. Also included was a small makeup bag you could store these Eden Cosmetics in after you pulled them from the box.
For less than five bucks, it would have been a great deal. I could have used the makeup as a Christmas gift for someone as I do not wear makeup on a daily basis. However three weeks after I had the package my paypal account was changed $130.41 by a business who used the name of EDENCOS*866-667-3985, HARRISBURG, PA. It took me a bit to narrow it down to figure out whom this was. Eden Cosmetics Company is part of that name and is the name associated with the smaller fees, which were incurred earlier in the month for the trail pack and the shipping charges.
Complaints for Eden Cosmetics Company
There are many complaints for this business, which I did not see before I became involved with them or I would have stayed clear. I am making one now so that other people will not be ripped off as I was.
The trail offer of makeup had a total price tag of $135 dollars and change. The page with the survey website I read when I accepted the offer gave me one price and charged another. In addition, the name on the survey website was different then the name which took the money from Paypal.
On this website created by a woman the business that ripped her off the web master included a screenshot along with plenty of information about the Eden Cosmetics Company. The woman has done her research and has been fighting with the business for a long time yet they are still ripping people off. I wish I had seen this website before I did the trail, but I plan to file my reports with the State attorney and the FBI as she suggested. The work this woman has done is unbelievable and it is very much worth the read.
Plan of Action for Eden Cosmetics Company
If you happen to purchase the Mineral Elements makeup by Eden Cosmetics, you have 15 days to cancel it after receiving the package. No paperwork is included in the package to tell you this. The company email and phone number are on first website listed in the resource section below. Emails have not been returned to me as of yet.
Call the credit card company and dispute the Eden Cosmetics Company charge. I used my Paypal account to pay for this so I contacted them.
Go to the Better Business Bureau and File a complaint.
Contact the State Attorney in your state and file a complaint.
Consider filing a report with the FBI for the Eden Cosmetics Company for shady business practices.
