Contour Abs Scam Reports
April 19, 2010
There can be found many complaints online about the Contour Abs and many people call the Contour Abs a scam. But what exactly is everyone complaining about? Is the Contour Abs really a scam?
Most complaints about the Contour Abs are like the following:
- Confusion over 30 day trial terms
- Contour Abs is poor quality and makes all ab belts look like a scam
- Slow shipping – sometimes the Contour Abs arrives almost at the end of the 30 day trial period
- Price is too high compared to competitors ab belts which offer better quality for the same price
- Confusion over credit card charges with some customers thinking the $14.95 trial fee is the only thing they pay
- Contour Abs is not effective & doesn’t work well
- Poor customer service
- Inflated claims about weight loss which are not true
In fact ab belts overall DO work, and the quality products on the market like the Flex Belt are very effective ways to keep abs firm and toned without doing a lot of workouts, crunches and sit-ups. Electronic muscle stimulation is a great way to keep in trim, and consumers should not be put off by the complaints about the Contour Abs – there are good, honest and reliable ab belts on the market that really will help them achieve their goals!
Read the ab belt review with the comparison of the contour abs and flex belt ab belts before making a decision on which one to buy.
I do feel that this is a scam. First of all there is alot of confussion over the 30 day trial peroid and they actually bill you before the trial period is over. I called in before the 30 days and informed them I wanted to return the product and they stated they would extend the trial peroid and as long as I called back before May 25th I would not be bill. I called back to inform them I wanted to return the product. I was told I should have called back in April, in which I was never told. I explained the belt did not work for me. I changed my diet and walked everyday and did not really see any results from the belt. I was then charged 99.90 for two months. I would advise anyone to stay away from this product. If you are interested in trying a stimulating belt, try a different. Customer services was very poor and the representative was very rude.
Rhonda…you are forgetting that they are still actually new(the company) they are busy advertising all this time that i guess they cant get everyone,but i don’t know, never had the belt
I agree about the Contour Abs taking a very long time to arrive. They process your initial trial period payment quickly, but by the time I received the product, I barely had 2 wks to try it out. So, I sent it back. When I a week after they received it, I was told the $14.95 would not be refunded. That was the “initial trial period” payment and is non-refundable.
In addition, they conveniently do not document your account when your product arrives back. So, your account never reflects the return.
So, to all who are thinking about getting this…don’t waste your money or time.
Just stick to a good eating plan, get plenty of cardio exercise, do plenty of weight training, and attend an ab workout at your gym…or, if you don’t belong to a gym, check out Oxygen magazine….they are choc ful of great ab workouts that truly do the job.
Try this for size. We get one, its broken, we get another after sending the first back. Send that one back as it is crap. Now they are billing us for 2. Claiming that they had not have time to return the item. Now, after the card was cancled they are hitting the account again. So, paying for 2 and no product.
