Please take a few minutes to read the following as when you select the SlimChews $1 “Risk Free” Trial you automatically accept the following terms and conditions: Try SlimChews risk free for only $1! When you order the $1 trial of SlimChews, your credit card will be charged only $1 for a 1-month supply of SlimChews plus $4.95 shipping and handling for a total of $5.95. You will have 15 days from the date your product is shipped to decide if SlimChews are right for you. If you are enjoying SlimChews, do nothing and at the end of your 15-day trial period you will be charged the discounted rate of only $43.95 for the pouch you received. If you find SlimChews are not right for you, simply call customer service and return the unused portion before the 15th day of your trial and you will not be charged.

The SCAM: What your not told is when you call their, Toll Free Customer Service Line: 1-800-372-6118, you get an automated phone message telling you to either email the company at support@slimchews.com or use the customer service link tab on their web site. You cannot talk to anyone PERIOD! The company already has your email address and the moment you place their “Risk Free” purchase order, they block “as SPAM” all your emails from ever reaching their email server making it impossiable to cancel your order let alone obtaining a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number. Without this number, the company will not process any returns. All product returns must be received in their warehouse prior to the 15th day after the date your product was shipped. Refused deliveries or packages marked “Return to Sender” will not be refunded or returned to the member. If it takes 7 to 10 business days getting your Risk Free Trial order, unless you call the day you receive that first shipment and obtain a RMA number, you are already hooked by their scam. Starting on the 16th day from your date of purchase, the company begins charging your credit card. In many cases, the company doesn’t even send you your initial “Risk Free” order. But even if you do receive your trial order, your credit card is charged the so called , “members only price” with the first charge being the $5.95 ($1+$4.95 S&H). The second charge of $43.95 is assessed approximately 16 days after ordering not shipped. The third charge is assessed in most cases, less than a month later in the amount of $49.90 and the $49.90 charges don’t stop . There are countless horror stories of veterans, elderly, disabled individuals being charged hundreds of dollars of charges against their credit cards and they are still waiting for their first slim chew order. The only way these “members only victims” were able to stop the charges from occurring was to cancel out their credit card completely and obtain an entirely new number and card at considerable cost, time and aggravation.

I received two email replies from SlimChews. They read as follows:
1. ” DO NOT E-MAIL US AGAIN OR WE WILL SUE YOU FOR SPAM ”
2. “WHY DON’T YOU READ WHAT YOU AGREED TO YOU DOUCHEBAG”.

Slim Chews Scam Conclusion:
Slim Chews are an extremely overpriced product for the simple ingredients they contain. Their Bait and Switch “Risk Free trial” is far from free and is out and out, fraudulent. They fraudulently force you into a monthly auto-shipment that is impossible to cancel. If you are one of the many who have been scamed by this company and you want to fight back and get these type companies off the internet you can start by contacting the FBI. Type into your search engine, IC3.gov , and you will be linked to the FBI’s IC3 Internet Crime Center. From there, simply follow the links to file your complaint. It’s very, very easy to do, totally confidential, and takes less than 10 minutes to file. The FBI will send you an automated email, assigning you a case number that you can track your claims process thoughout their investigation. As of 2/19/10, 137 individuals who had posted complaints on the internet about the exact same issues mentioned above have filed claims. I am encouraging everyone to also file a complaint with the FBI. Together, lets make the internet a better, safer place to conduct honest, “Risk Free” business.
