I\u2019m feeling really burned by a free tooth whitening offer I found online. The deal was that if I only paid shipping, this company would send me a free trial of their whitening pen. I figured they were able to give the free teeth whitening kits out because people would order the full-sized version when it worked, so I paid almost $20 for shipping. I followed the instructions, but nothing is happening. I e-mailed the company a week ago, but they aren\u2019t responding back, and now I\u2019m pretty sure I got scammed. I guess it\u2019s not so much the money, but the fact that I trusted them. Is there something more I should be doing with the kit that might improve its effectiveness? Do I have any recourse with the company? Thanks, Marcus<\/p>\n

Marcus,<\/p>\n

It\u2019s tough to say if you should be doing something different\u00a0 with your free teeth-whitening kit<\/a>, because you haven\u2019t provided the name of the company or the product, nor have you said how you\u2019re using it. Generally speaking, anything you can get over-the-counter is weak. Sometimes, it\u2019s totally ineffective. If you aren\u2019t getting it from a trusted supplier, you can\u2019t tell if it is safe and effective.<\/p>\n

Depending on where the company is based, you may have no real recourse. If it\u2019s not in the United States, your money is probably gone. You can try to dispute the charge with your credit card company, but this company may still get away with it because you only paid for the shipping. The product was free, and the shipping wasn\u2019t the problem, so they may have found a way against scam controls. The only way to find out if you can have the charge erased is to call your credit card company and ask to file a complaint.<\/p>\n

How to Get Legit Free Tooth Whitening<\/strong><\/p>\n

Go Local:<\/strong> Only get free teeth-whitening products from a local and trusted source. You can follow up easily if there\u2019s a problem.<\/p>\n

Choose a Professional:<\/strong> Over-the-counter products tend to be weak. You have to use them a lot to see any difference. If you want rapid results, you need professional-strength products, only available through medical and dental professionals.<\/p>\n

Talk to Your Dentist:<\/strong> Many dentists offer a free teeth-whitening program to new patients. Ask if your dentist\u2019s office does something similar. While it\u2019s designed to attract new patients, the office may consider giving you the package anyway, just to keep you happy. If that isn\u2019t an option, they may have a low-cost solution that will give you the results you need in a safe and effective way.<\/p>\n
