Internet Teeth Whitening Scams
Online there are no shortages of scam. It seems like everyday you see a new weight loss scam or make money online scam. Well now the scams have infected the world of teeth whitening.
It all started with the acai berry. Oprah’s guest Dr. Oz mentioned the health benefits of the acai berry and suddenly the Oprah effect took place. Hundreds of weight loss blogs started popping up marketing the acai berry. These blogs or flogs (fake blogs) used made up testimonials and excellent sales copy to persuade thousands to purchase the acai berry product with reoccurring billing. The problem is the sites are fake, but look like a real blog to the person who does not know better.
Well, acai berry started it, but today there are blogs using the same technique to market teeth whitening products. Here are a few of the many. Do these sites look similar to you?

It is advisable that you pay close attention to the legal and terms of uses if you visit and purchase whitening products from a site online. Many of these online scams send you directly to another website where if you purchase via a free trail you will have automatically reoccurring billing.
There is no doubt that teeth whitening can make a dramatic impact on your smile. Not all sites online are scams so stick with the name brands you know and that your dentist recommends. Avoiding scams can save you a lot of heart ache in the future.
