Argan oil channel 7 scam revealed
Published 2 hours ago
Was scammed by seeing a facebook message that [name removed] and [name removed], two presenters from channel 7 tv australia were leaving to concentrate on their product that removed stretch marks. Nuff said. I was charged $144 then $154 for two bottles sent from an australian address. Sender is "streamlined p.O. Box 230 narellan nsw 2567. The company with the product originates in the usa. Seems to have a distributor located in australia.
This argan oil is worth, and available for, $14 in aussie. It may or may not have benefits but they are not scientifically approved. No harm I read its been used for centuries in morocco. (show me a 150 year old in morrocco)
The only valid facebook page connected to the scam is kelly o'shea. Nothing on it except a post from 14 april 2012, and its been reported to facebook. Near $400 down the drain, to 80 year old + pensioners.

Paid for fee + postage. Since then have been charged $152.55 about every 3 weeks. I did not sign up for this. Fraud department at my bank can not do anything because I purchased from them initially. Down now over $300. Only way I could stop them taking more money out of my account was to CANCEL MY CARD and get a new card issued. Inconvenient but better than having money taken without my authorisation.

I too am being scammed. I signed up for a sample. It is okay but I don’t actually use it. They sent a second bottle which I just thought must be an error. Then yesterday I received a mascara, lipgloss and lipstick. I am disabled and may go out to a shop or such once a week sometimes. I am on a pension and NDIS so I have a carer 3 days a week.
I don’t want this stuff. They don’t send paperwork with these things. I have plenty of juggling already. I don’t want another problem.
Can u help- Julie Mc Donald

I took advantage of the free trial, but just had to pay postage. So to pay the postage I used my credit card. I have just noticed that $153 has been taken out of my card 3 times. I have now had to cancel my card and it has been reported to my banks fraud team.

Completely lost all trust with this company.

$600 taken from a bank account of a 68 lady for a trial sample which she thought was just under $10.

Essence of Argan, where do i start with this company. They base everything about their terms and conditions. A trial offer but really a subscription based service.

Update were i believe Essence of argan have broke their own terms (my partners order, maybe your too), which allow customers for a full refund.

A simple proper Electronic receipt is what I am asking for.

My concern with my partners order.

Tracking numbers for the below do not exist for Trial products, they are either classed as N/A by Essence of Argan and/or cannot be trace through Australia post. Essence of Argan need to explain were these initial trial product are, or supply us with the correct tracking number to show received/delivered products.

Orders we received. Please note below that the same product was then hiked up considerably which also breaks their terms.

Our order.

1. A subscription service when the customer doesn't really know they have subscribed

2. One Email order from Essence of Argan for the sum of $9.73.

3. No receipt including, Item, Item number, Item quantity, tracking numbers, and delivery date form Essence of Argan or any kind of receipt either electronically or paper. This is for ongoing product. Please request this, this is important to you.

4. No ABN, No GST, on your first order Just Order Total, $9.73 Please request ABN, ACN for your reference. I see they are based in Malta so this may be their work around.

5. Exuberant price hike in price on the same product? Please explain

• 04/30/2022 Essence of Argan 30ml -- $152.55 AUD FM62670284 Thu 5 May, 10.55am

• 03/31/2022 Essence of Argan 30m -- $109.71 AUD FM62656854 Mon 11 Apr, 10.06am

• 02/25/2022 Essence of Argan 30ml -- $109.71 AUD FM62637343 -

Essence of Argan operate just within the law. Ethical, their reviews speak for them selves. They operate within their terms which we as customers should read.

BUT they clearly in our case did not operate within their terms. I presume in your case the same.

What this means is with my partners order. If Essence of Argan cannot prove the trial product was delivered Essence of Argan have broken their own terms as no product can be returned. You Credit card company then have the right to claim for a full refund based on product not been received. The hardest thing is to get them to commit to sending you a receipt but they will not send one. By Law they need to send one within 7 days. You need to request one via email. lucky one of their customer support instead sent written confirmation via email. As you can see the Initial Trail postage tracking number does not exist and N/A is not acceptable.

Are receipts required by law in Australia?

You must always give your customers a receipt or proof of purchase for anything over $75. A customer can ask for a receipt for any purchases under $75. If they do, you must provide them with a receipt within 7 days of their request. https://business.gov.au/finance/payments-and-invoicing/receipts-and-proof-of-purchase.

Receipt. I have removed certain private information. This receipt was not set as a pdf just came through my partners email like the below. I could not take a picture of the receipt of my pc as it is that long.

You’ll love how much more manageable your hair becomes the longer you use Essence of Argan. Say goodbye to dry, frizzy hair and hello to smooth, sleek locks.

Essence of Argan isn’t only good outside your body, it also has fantastic health benefits when ingested. After all, if something isn’t safe enough to put IN your body, why would you want to put it ON your body? Pure Argan oil has been shown to reduce cholesterol, improve circulation, and lower the incidence of heart disease.

Help Us Support the Women of Morocco:

Still need more reasons to try Essence of Argan? When you purchase Essence of Argan, you are helping to support a women’s cooperative in Morocco that works to keep the Argan trees thriving on a space of Unesco protected land. Over 3 million people in Southern Morocco receive a fair wage through the sales of Argan Oil.

Sharing the Essence of Argan Miracle:

“Argan Oil has been a part of our life since we were young. Ever since we can remember we have used Argan Oil as part of our daily beauty ritual. We use it for everything – our baths, after our showers, on our body, on our hair, and on our face before we go to sleep. It is so versatile!”

Essence Of Argan was founded in 2011 with 5 liters of Argan Oil. Today, we are the largest provider of Eco-Certified Argan Oil on the planet! Using only the best Argan Oil we have grown step by step with the support of our loyal customers.

From day 1, it has been our mission to share with our customers the ancient health and beauty secrets of natural Argan oil. Essence of Argan is 100% Pure, Eco Certified, Organic, Moroccan Argan oil, a natural oil known for its miraculous and diverse range of cosmetic benefits for the skin, hair, and nails.

Argan Oil is a rare, natural oil, extracted exclusively from the kernels of fruits from the Argan tree, indigenous to southern Morocco. Known locally as “Liquid Gold” or “The Gold of Morocco”, Argan Oil has been used for centuries as a natural remedy for wrinkles, deep hair hydration, acne, shaving bumps, sunburn, eczema, psoriasis, scars, stretch marks, brittle nails, and even diaper rash. Today, research has shown that pure Argan oil is a rich source of vitamins A and E, carotenoids, sterols, polyphenols, and essential fatty acids like linoleic acid, making the oil a powerful hydrating, anti-inflammatory, and anti-oxidant beauty treatment. As news of this miracle oil has spread, demand for the oil has increased, improving the social and economic status of the Berber women who manually extract the pure Argan oil by hand.

We at Essence of Argan are committed to to providing the purest Argan oil in the world, and we proudly support and contribute to the livelihood of the Moroccan women who harvest the Argan tree (or Tree Of Life), helping us to share with you this rare and precious oil in its purest form.

From our family to yours, enjoy the multiple benefits of this Moroccan Liquid Gold.

4 payments of 127.50 taken from my account, tried constantly to cancel it with no luck finally today did a live chat and they assured me it's cancelled, but no word of money refunded. Over £500.00 down the drain, absolutely criminal.
