Wu-Yi Tea scam...from Medlaw

Oct 7, 2008

Wu Yi Source complaint by Medlaw2007

I am deeply troubled by the extent this company will go to in order to bilk thousands of people out of millions of dollars!

First...find the address of the company from which you ordered Wu-Yi tea...there is more than one

Second...file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau in the state in which the company is based

Third...if you have placed an order and are continuing to be billed, call your bank and tell them of the fraudulent charges and they will mail you a hard copy of an affidavit to sign. Be aware, this is a legal document that will stand up in any court of law...so make sure you have a legitimate claim with the bank!!

Fourth...OPRAH AND RACHEL RAY DO NOT ENDORSE WU-YI TEA!!! Unless you can find the actual endorsement on their websites, the claim is fraudulent!

Wu-Yi tea is mentioned during a segment of each show as an alternative for weight loss that has become popular but it is NOT endorsed! To endorse a product means that Oprah and Rachel Ray are agreeing to accept a percentage of royalties from the company for promoting their product, which in turn, will legally bind them to the company they are promoting and the product being sold. This is something they will NOT do!!!

Fifth...and most important...READ THE FINE PRINT! Read the disclaimer at the bottom of the home page of the web site. If there is no disclaimer, DO NOT ORDER!!!

If you know you are someone who does not take the time to read the fine print, then do NOT order, accept, or agree to the terms in the agreement! Yes, there are 3 other companies that have slid their services into the order agreement but I caught those BEFORE I placed the order and denied the acceptance. Only one company billed me and I had that reversed by my bank with the affidavit. They have not attempted to bill me again.

Do NOT sign up for the Autoship Program! This program is NOT included in the money back guarantee.

Hang in there folks! For those of you wishing to file with the class action lawsuit, be aware that you must have been scammed by the same company in which I was. I bought from www.wu-yitea.com, based out of Texas.

Remember folks, the first line of defense starts with ourselves! Take the time to read and research before you buy.

If not for sites like Pissed Consumer...many more unknowing American's would be scammed!

Good luck!

The free trial is included in the money back guarantee.

Just for the refrence.

Also, the tea is not a scam. Read the fine print as you would do with any TV or online purchase. It tells you EVERYTHING you complained about.

Wow! I was checking into this product and almost signed up until I decided to do a scam report search.

Thanks MedLaw2007...I was with Wu-Yi Source.com based out of Ontario, California...what do you want to bet at some point these "TEA" companies have some type of affiliation?

Yes, I admit I did not read the terms & conds as closely as I should have, obviously or I would have avoided this whole mess, I can take some responsibility.

This is the whole point though, they hide all these attached fee's and stipulations...to steal your money. It depends on how we look at it I guess from the point of the company or the consumer.

At this point I have printed Wu-Yi Source.com's terms&conds out & read very, very , carefully....they pretty much get you on lock down. I can't believe I did something like this, this has never happen to me before.

I already went on to the Better Business Bureau website & it says if a company is offering the "free trial" that all additional stipulations to this offer nd to be clearly posted.

FTC - Fed.Trade Commission -which protects consumers says these guidelines state that for advertising this type of offer at all guidelines, terms & conds as well as cancellation need to be clearly & conspicuously displayed in at least 10 pt type before asking for payment and customer consent. NOT disclosed in microscopic print accessed by a web blink to another site, it says this right on the BBB site so why is this company still operating? Still stealing money from people when clearly they are scamming....?

I want to sue just for the distress & time I have spent on this crap so far, I mean this is ridiculous...

Right now I am in process of filing the claim with my bank, I have been told that all my 3 (YES 3!) memberships this company signed me up for with the $4.95 original charge have been canceled....so far I am out $80.00, for something that should have been $4.95 and done with.
