Beware...Beware...Beware

Just Fabulous is a major scam.  

Hold onto your credit cards

                    My
 Experience:

1) I see all the hype in all the fashion magazines about the web site. I visit the website.  I carefully search for hidden catches. All 
seems normal.

2) I join site membership so I can start a boutique, 
like I've done other similar sites. I am offered first pair for $19.97. I 
look at a pair I like, looking at it from every angle. There's even a video offered.  I carefully read reviews. 

3) I order it. I scroll through all the 
information and fill out all the forms. It all seems straightforward, 
like many other sites I've ordered from.

4) I excitedly await the 
arrival of my new shoes. They come. Immediate disappointment--the color 
is all off. I consider returning, but remember they were less than $25 
and so maybe I can live with it.

5) The next month, I discover a 
charge by Just Fabulous for $39.95 on my credit card. I spend hours 
searching my emails, searching the JustFab site, and finally putting all
 the pieces together. 

FACT: They sent me an email on 11/10 saying 
that I had until the fifth to skip that month's charge. What charge?  Huh?

FACT:
 In the FAQ and Terms and Conditions it says that once you order 
something you become a VIP. Then, as a VIP, you have the first five days
 of each month to log on the site and skip being charged. If you do not 
skip, you are charged on the 6th day.

FACT: The FAQ contains 1,750 
words, and information about being charged is under How does 
JustFabulous work? How do I join?

FACT: The Terms and Conditions 
contains 3,309 words, and information about being charged is under 
Program as well as Monthly Option.
6) I went on the site and found a 
place where I can select to cancel. I submitted my selection and left 
the site. I was relieved it was over with! 

7) The next month I was 
again charged $39.95. I again tried to cancel. 

This time I read the 
pop-up window carefully. It had wording that seemed so lame I wanted to 
leave. It offers a number to call. I have no interest in calling a 
number, but then I notice I HAVE to call the number. The cancel process 
didn't work unless I actually call the phone number. 

I can only cancel by calling the number.

8) The only way
 I can cancel is by calling from 7am to 7pm. I often get home from work 
around 7:30 or 8:00 pm. 

I can't call at work and am not allowed to use my cell. I don't want to call at all.

I joined online but was not aware I could only cancel by calling a 
number.  Is that to make it difficult to cancel?  That is what I would think.

9) I reported them to the Better Business Bureau, not asking 
for my money back, but just asking that they
 close my account without me having to call. 

10)  I called my Credit Card company to file a chargeback.  They said it might be hard because of the wording on the contract I signed.  Really?  Really?

Judge me how you will. But PLEASE think twice 
before ordering anything from Just Fabulous.   Learn from my own mistakes.

Read the fine print, but if
 you have no trouble understanding it, congratulations to you. 

If you are fine 
with joining a site that penalizes you for ordering anything, gives you a
 short time to waive the penalty, and then makes it difficult for you to
 cancel your membership, then this is the site for you (provided you 
like cheap shoes to boot).
