SCAM

Tonight I need to share a scam with you.  Please share with everyone you know.  I have contacted the BBB, as well as posted a review on the company's website.  I’ve also posted this on Facebook.

BEWARE!!!!  THIS IS A SCAM!!!!

This is the only pic I have right now that I got off the company website.

This company offers a free jar of their cream for the shipping cost of $4.95.  DO NOT order this youth cream because this is a scam.  This company is just a bunch of crooks.  They charged my credit card $119.95 plus the $4.95 shipping for the supposedly free jar of cream (except shipping).  It’s on my credit card statement under goldenskin. 

I called my credit card company immediately and they investigated, but came back in favor of this company, so I filed an appeal.  I told them there was no disclosure that I would be charged anything other than $4.95 for this small sample jar.  BEWARE!  DON’T DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY! 

I’m going to have to pay the $119.95 to these scam artists, but I have blocked them from any further access to my account.  If you are smart you won’t get involved in the first place.  This cream didn’t do anything special either.  It’s not worth it.  I can’t believe they are still in business and will post this all over the net so other people aren’t scammed like I was.

On top of this I made a few phone calls to get things straightened out.  At no time was I told I would be charged other then $4.95 for this cream.  I’m very disgusted at this point and will warn anybody I can to stay away from this company.

This company deserves NO STARS but needs to be locked up.

You’re never too old to try something new

Me in a kayak for the first time

I had my first kayak experience about ten days ago.  My good friend and sister from another mother, (because we were born two hours apart on the same day and in the same year), had been after me coaxing me to try it.  I finally decided “why not?”  I felt nervous, but pretty safe as my girlfriend is a retired RN.  She also helps with “search and rescue" efforts in the area.

So I finally arrived at her house an hour late on kayak day because my biggest fault is always being late.  I swear I’d be late to my own funeral, except I won’t be in charge of getting me there then.

We met up with another experienced kayaker and “search and rescue” worker.  Once everything was unloaded and we were in our life vests, the three of us set out to enjoy Sand Hollow in our separate kayaks.  At first I was very nervous, as I can’t swim, but gradually relaxed as I learned how to use the oars to get me right and left and how to go forward and turn around. 

Me at Sand Hollow.  Rocks are all over like the ones behind me.  It's really beautiful.

Sand Hollow is actually pretty shallow.  It was clear enough to see trees and bushes growing in the bottom and there are rock formations all over so I had to paddle around them.  I didn’t run into them too many times.  It was a learning experience for sure.

I did learn a thing or two about oars too.  They come in different weights, shapes and sizes.  The one I started with was too heavy for me, so I traded for a lighter one and did much better.  I actually was having fun doing this and it was so relaxing once I got over my fright and realized I wasn’t going to turn the kayak over. 

However, I had no idea how to get out of the thing once we got back to the dock, so I fell into the water and hit my rear-end on the rocks.  I still have a sore bottom, but it’s getting better.  And since I was wet from that, my two companions took me by the hands and pulled me out to knee deep water and had me sit down so I could get it through my head that I would float if I ever did overturn the kayak, or fall overboard.  This was the worst part of the whole trip having to sit down and lift up my legs and then my arms, so I didn’t have a firm hold on anything.  They were there to rescue me though, otherwise I don’t know if I could ever do this by myself.

We ended up staying out there two hours.  My arms were very sore for a couple of days, but that quickly went away and I feel like I’m ready for my next trip.  It wasn’t so scary that I won’t do this again and actually probably more than one more time.
