Enhancement Advice Blog

It’s truly amazing how low some companies sink to try to get sales for their male enhancement brand.   Sadly so many times the customer falls victim to the ridiculous claims the company makes such as promising to make the penis bigger or even bolder than that…promising that their product will work in as little as 20 minutes or less.

On top of that, so many customers are still writing into us (even after our previous product advice entries) complaining that they’re being billed for products that they had no intention of ordering.  Yes enhancementadvice.com is pissed off so you can consider this blog entry our riot act.

First of all, to any customers who’ve ordered or are thinking of ordering a “free trial” of the male enhancement product, Enzyte, we have three simple words for you:

IT’S NOT FREE!!!

Here is what their website says about this “free trial” and you’ll find this info right on their FAQ page:

“When you order a trial pack of Vianda Brand (makers of Enzyte), you will be enrolled in ViaLife, which provides valuable savings, convenience and special new product offers.  Approximately 17 days after your trial is shipped, we will begin shipping you regular bi-monthly 60 day cycles of your supplements.  Your 60 day cycles will be delivered automatically and we will charge your credit card a reduced ViaLife price of $79.90 within one business day of shipping your products…”

A word of advice guys…don’t sign up for any “free trial samples” at any time if you’re ordering a male enhancement product.  When you hand over your credit card information you’ll be duped into getting lifetime samples of products you don’t want.  Granted in Enzyte’s case, the product may work for some and it seems to have the supportive ingredients that male enhancers use in their formulas but you’ll be better off just purchasing one bottle of the product and don’t expect a refund.

Or better yet…order another product.

Their history with customers is just way too complicated.

Extenze is another male enhancement product that claims to increase penis size.  We all know by now that only surgery can make this possible.

It’s unfortunate when manufacturers use this type of marketing claim and what’s even more unfortunate is that the unassuming customer falls victim to their false advertising.

In 2006 Extenze, paid a civil penalty of $300,000 to California’s Orange County District’s office for unfair business practices and false advertising.  Apparently Extenze was unable to prove its claim that the product could make users’ penises grow by almost 30%.

This story gets better.

Several customers also complained to the Better Business Bureau that Extenze was making them seriously ill.  After further investigation, findings revealed that the supplement contained lead exceeding legal limits.  Extenze also contains Yohimbe and we’ve already discussed the potential hazards of this ingredient.

It doesn’t end there.  When customers tried to contact the company to ask for refunds, it was next to impossible.  No live person would pick up the phone or reply to emails and when customers could finally get in touch with someone, they were given a very hard time.  To add to that, credit cards were automatically billed each month for products customers didn’t want.

Hmm…sounds like déjà vu doesn’t it?  That’s because it is.  It appears that Extenze has an auto shipping program almost identical to Enzyte where customers think they are signing up for a “free trial” but they end up being forced to pay $40 each month.

A word of advice…don’t trust Extenze!

Enzyte is perhaps the most infamous all-natural male enhancement supplement.  Of course you surely recognize the character of Smiling Bob sporting his goofy grin in their TV commercials.   At one point in time it was apparently the top-selling natural male enhancement product that marketed itself as a “penis enlarger.”

In 2006, following a slew of customer complaints to the Better Business Bureau about its marketing and business practices, Enzyte’s CEO and founder, Steve Warshack, was found guilty of mail fraud, bank fraud and money laundering among other charges.  Customers complained that the product did not deliver on its claims to enlarge the penis.  Other customers complained about Enzyte’s “autoship” program where customers were automatically billed for products without their knowledge.  Warshack was then sentenced to 25 years in prison.  Since then Enzyte was bought by another company called Vianda which claims   that it has now changed its marketing and business practices – though according to recent customer complaints it appears that not much has changed.

Apparently Enzyte now employs a so-called “ViaLife Rewards Program” which makes the unassuming customer think that this is a special promotion; however, it’s anything but.  Actually when you sign up for a supposed free trial of Enzyte and your credit card information is collected, your credit card will be automatically charged each month whether you intended to buy any products or not.  This is still an “autoship” program that is cleverly worded.

Well, Enzyte is perhaps right about one claim… it could very well be the # 1 selling male enhancement product.  This is all thanks to the autoship…oops (our mistake) the Rewards Program.
