Free Mach 3 Turbo (no NOs included)

[thresher]

Sorry for the Nitrous joke, guys. This comes from Mosaic, the national marketing guys, so it looks to be above board stuff. The asshats who spammed me with the link, however, were another story. Damn referral junkies. Got nothing better to do than make money off someone else's work I guess? Anyway, stay smooth! And for the ladies, the offer extends to Venus!

Wouldn't do it... requires C/C info,
Beware.

[thresher]

coupled with the fact that the page they want you to put your CC info on is NOT secure... I think I'll be passing also..

[thresher]

Enough with the stones i'm bruised already! :( I'll do a hundred push-ups and run down to the beach and drown myself. Next time I'll scrutinize the ever luvin' fark out of it before I post the next bargain, ok? :D
PS - the mach 3 really is a great razor! I used mine this morning to great effect. Damned expensive though.

And as for the reason they want your credit card info? From their FAQ (my emphasis):


3) I heard the Gillette Mach3 Turbo blades are so popular that stores are frequently sold out. How can I ensure I can always find Gillette Mach3 Turbo blades, at the lowest price?

As an additional benefit for trying your free Gillette Mach3 Turbo razor, you will automatically be guaranteed to receive Gillette Mach3 Turbo or women's Venus refillable blades at less than the after tax retail store price for 4 refillable razor blades. If you love your free Gillette Mach3 Turbo or Venus razor, do nothing and we will automatically mail 8 refillable blades every two months (that's one fresh new blade every week). Our price is below the listed retail price and even includes FREE SHIPPING AND HANDLING AND NO SALES TAX. We also guarantee that you will always have fresh blades at your door without ever worrying about store shortages. No more unnecessary nicks and cuts from dull overused blades.Yeah, cuz they're real hard to get a hold of and your local <insert favourite drugstor or whatever here> doesn't have a wall full of the buggers. :D

:dodgy:

Smells like trouble, the CC page isn't even encrypted!

THIS IS A SCAM,

It is very ambiguous and they will charge you, they didn’t make this clear in the beginning and now I have a charge for $8.50.

if you signed up cancel now! unless you want this.

[makaze]

considering the domain is regged to
VACHANI, STEVEN (UJVNPBTHRD)
2425B Channing Way, #216
Berkeley, CA 94704

and his phone # is listed as 410-555-1212 123 1234


this is not even a legit company. I dont know of any corporate company who doesnt have the correct info in a whois..

and considering gillette has it's website regged to a address in boston.. this makes it even more bogus :)

[ray]

lmfao. i know where that guy lives. i lived up in berkeley last summer about 3 blocks away from him!!!!!

it's probably just some commission making website that this kid put up.

[Monkeyshack]

i got the razor, like 5months later, and a refill.. then the credit card bill. BS

[Serenity Now!]

Yeah, it is a good razor. I was using those crappy disposable bic ones until one day Safeway (for whatever reason) sent me a free Mach 3 Turbo. Now I'm smooth as a baby's bottom.

[blueribb]

I received the free razor with extra blades and an appology for sending it late.

Now he is emailing me (multiple times) about sending blades every month and charging my VISA card.

I emailed back and told him to cancel. I also emailed the billing company he referred to in his email.

I'm keeping a close eye on my credit card account.

Careful here !

[fisherman]

stupid scams. this is another perfect reason to use amex private payments by Blue.

[sonjamin]

TOTAL SCAM!!!!! requires CC info. anyone willing to do that, I have two bridges for sale, in SF and Brooklyn.

[blueribb]

I found a $9.97 charge on my credit card bill from them. I called the bank and had it removed. The bank wants me to save all email correspondences in case a charge appears again next month. I contacted Freerazor.com 3 times to cancel any future shipments and they never responded.

BTW - Freerazor.com hides some terms on this deal in the "FAQ" section of their webpage.

TOTAL SCAM / RIPOFF

[Monkeyshack]

to top it off, they give us 8packs, and walmart sells 4 and 12 pacs, the 8 pac ends up costing more per razor then the 12 pac.
its a total scam

[thresher]

Now that everyone has declared this is a scam, can we please let it go? It is a little embarrassing and we did declare it a scam (or at least a poorly done pyramid scheme), oh, 4 months ago. Sorry it was brought up originally (in November). I have NO idea why Monkeyshack
dredged up something lost in November to begin with and don't even care to know. It was my first try at helping the GOTAPEX community out, I missed, it was buried. But since the 25th, this is the one I am known for.

[Monkeyshack]

Chill out!

I dug this up again because I just got the stupid razor finally this last month, and then got charged and thought i would share..


ohh and one more thing, THIS IS A SCAM!!! DONT DO IT
