Colon Cleanse Pro is one of the more 'popular' colon cleanse products on the market with a lot of marketing on the internet. Is Colon Cleanse Pro all that the advertisements say it is? This Colon Cleanse Pro review will give you a glimpse into the product and the company behind the product to see if it's all it's cracked up to be.
When visiting their website you'll quickly see a marketing tactic that's often used to add credibility to the product but that's quite deceiving. They've posted logos of the Oprah magazine, USA Today, MSNBC, and CBS News in an attempt you make you think that Colon Cleanse Pro was somehow mentioned on or endorsed by these programs. At first glance, that's what it looks like, but if you read the quotes next to the logos, you'll see that they mention the colon or colon cleansing in some form, but say nothing about the Colon Cleanse Product itself. Above the logos it says "Colon Cleanse in the Talk of Media." Note, however that it does not say Colon Cleanse Pro (although they want you to assume that).
As far as the ingredients go in Colon Cleanse Pro, your guess is as good as mine. Nowhere on the site does it even slightly mention what ingredients are contained in the product. I'm assuming that there is some fiber in there, but aside from that, I just don't know. If I'm going to put something into my body, I'd be pretty interested to know what it is.
Now on to the good part, the company behind the product. There were pretty bright red flags that popped up in my research which I think you should know about. First off, their (not so much of a) privacy policy made me worry. In a nutshell, it states that they have the right to "sell, rent, lease, or otherwise provide the personal information that you provide to us, to any third party." Ouch! In today's world, this is simply unacceptable.
I next went to the Better Business Bureau to get their report of Colon Cleanse Pro. They gave the company an 'F' rating. In addition to such a poor rating, the BBB had apparently tried to contact Colon Cleanse Pro in 2008 to discuss how they could fix the complaint problems. They failed to respond to the request..
I've seen quite a few scams in relation to the kind of 'free trial' offers that Colon Cleanse Pro has on their website. So made sure that I went through their terms and conditions to see if anything looked fishy. As suspected, they detail in their fine print (that they plan on you not reading) that by accepting the free trial you are automatically accepting their autoship program. Essentially, you have 15 days to call and cancel the program (that you likely didn't know you were in) or they will start charging you $69.98 plus shipping every month (they mail you a new supply every month). This is a sneaky way to get as much money out of the consumer as possible.
There are many complaints filed on the internet of people not being able to get a hold of the company to cancel or to dispute the charges (that they didn't know would occur). Well, in order to see for myself, I called the customer service number. Surprise! No one answered the phone. So it appears that some of the complaints are true; it may be difficult to cancel your autoship program. Also, they charge a 15% restocking fee on all returned items.
In summary, I think it's safe to say that you should stay far, far away from Colon Cleanse Pro. They've had many, many complaints filed against them and are seemingly uninterested in trying to improve their business practices. They use shady sales tactics that are designed to take advantage of the unsuspecting customer. Colon Cleanse Pro looks like a scam to me. - 15995
