REZV: A Not-so Free Sample

They have quotes from a Harvard Study saying, "This could arguably be the biggest medical discovery since antibiotics!"

And then they hit you with the bait: "Try It FREE!"

Well, after seeing a video from the revered 60 Minutes and the Barbara Walters Special, why shouldn't we all believe this product is legitimate? If WebMD, CNN, Fox News, Fortune Magazine, and the New York Times all sing it's praises, why shouldn't we try this miracle pill?

I thought, "What the hey. they only want me to pay $3.95 for shipping. What have I got to lose?" So I clicked on the giant "Order" button and was on my way.

The Terms and Conditions clearly state the following:

"14 DAY TRIAL PERIOD INCLUDES SHIPPING AND TRANSIT TIME

You are not obligated to purchase after you receive your free trial bottle of Rezv and you can cancel anytime within the 14 day cancellation period. Even if you decide to cancel, please keep the trial bottle as our gift to you.

To avoid being charged you must cancel before your 14 day trial period is over. You may cancel your Value Autoship Program by calling 888-273-0308 Monday thru Friday 9am-6pm Eastern Standard Time or emailing our support department at......."

Since I've been buying things on the internet for 15 years, I'm savvy enough to realize that I have to be diligent. I hate waiting in phone queues, so I sent my cancellation email.

And here's where the scam goes into full throttle.

The return email response to my "Cancel Value Autoship Program" email contained only the body of my own email, not verification of cancellation. However, since I had cancelled, I felt I did my due diligence.

Still, I suppose I shouldn't have been surprised when the debit for $87.97 for a one-month supply plus shipping and handling hit my bank account. Customer Service wins again!

The next step was getting into the dreaded phone queue to cancel verbally. From speaking with a representative, I learned they (surprise!) had no record of my email cancellation, but would cancel for me. Upon my insistence, the rep sent me an email confirming my cancellation and another email saying they had issued a refund to my account.

To date, no refund has appeared in my bank account, and I spent even more time in phone queues with my bank putting in a dispute claim.

Regardless of the efficacy or non-efficacy of the product, this has not been a good shopping experience for me. We can only assume that my story is being repeated thousands or hundreds of thousands of times across the World. This company have spent literally millions of dollars saturating the internet with thinly veiled copies of their primary website so that everywhere you turn, you see people telling you to get that free trial - and that it WORKS!

During my online research (after the fact), I noticed that Nutri Blvd has only one product, REZV. This must be an Affiliate Program since I found the product marketed as RezVMax with a 15-day free trial and Vital RezV where the shipping cost is $5.95. Then there's the stately Resveratrol. I'm sure I could find this product renamed dozens of times, but I suppose you get the drift.

Do yourself a favor: Don't bite the REZV bullet! Barbara Walters needs to get her name off the website. As do all the other legitimate companies who don't want to feed this scam monster.
