Has anyone else gotten these emails offering FREE products? They seem so legit but then I later find out that they are total SCAMS! And I am usually too busy to take the time to google it, which I take the time now after getting scammed! I got several enticing email to start. Which hey, who doesn't want to great workout pants that make your butt look better??! I can always use another pair of those! Where they get ya is the shipping AND there is an up-sell for another pair for like $5.99 and my dumb ass got 2 pairs, I mean, why not!
So about two months later I do get them in the mail. I was SHOCKED. First off, the battered bag them came in, like WTF. And no way in hell could I wear these workout pants, they must have sent the complete wrong size. They looked like XX Small when I ordered a Large. The fabric was SO cheap feeling. There was NO size or label, or anything that referenced the brand.
I emailed Alice, the person I had been emailing and told her there was NO way I could post anything about these leggings; hell I couldn't even fit into them. I was not going to “help spread the word”. I gave them to my 12 year old niece who is stick skinny! And crickets. Nothing. That's when I googled it. Dug more and read the reviews of how it's a scam. I think I was more pissed at the fact that I had wasted my time.
So when you get these emails, be careful and ask questions; just google the company and there are real reviews out there.

Well I don't know if Alice is real, but I never got a response. I waited two more months to post this. I never want to spread negative things about brands and companies, but I also want to education hard working women out there who are just trying to help others not waste their time like I did! Just sayin!
