Penis Pills
| This may be an extreme review of claims, however we found this on the net and thought we would share. This has not been written by us and we do not endorse the contents of the article: |
Many people who are desperately seeking remedies and solutions to their
failing sexual health are dragged into whatever hopes they are offered.
Blinded by their desire to get fast and definite results, these people
are conned into buying products that only rely on their superlative
presentation of advertisements and too-good-to-be-true testimonials.
Penis enlargement pill scams are indeed becoming a major pain for
consumers whose only hope lies on those enlargement pills. Imagine paying
hundreds of dollars for a product that promises you effective male enhancement
formula, yet leaves you with nothing more than vitamin pills. Worse, these pills
may endanger your health and your body's physiological state.
In fact, there has been a case in Arizona involving a bogus penis
enlargement operation. See Mike Brunker's, "Anatomy of a Penis Pill
Swindle" and Stephen Barrett's,
"Bogus
Penis Enlargement Pills Seized; Defendants Forfeit over $35 million"
The defendant, C.P. Direct, Inc., is a company which sold "Longitude"
which was claimed to permanently enlarge the penis from 1-3 inches or more if
taken for a longer time. According to its website, users should "Take
it until you get to 8" or 9". After you get to this size, we advise you
stop taking it. Any longer of a penis would be too large for most women to
handle." See archived Longitude website.
According to the news reports, the web site offered endorsements,
testimonials, and presented supposed before-and-after photographs. A
bottle of Longitude which is good for one month was sold for $59.95 (plus
shipping and handling) for the first month, then $39.95 after that. A lot of
customers complained that they did not receive their refunds, which the
site guaranteed if customers were not satisfied. It is alleged that the
company has sold more than $74 million worth of Longitude and other body
enhancement supplements, such as the "Full and Firm" (breast enhancing) and
"Stature" (height increasing) formula, and duped an estimated 350,000 to 500,000
people.
The reports also showed that the defendants acknowledged that they had
never consulted any medical experts or done any scientific testing of the
product. Furthermore, analyses of the company's various products showed they
were "all the same thing."
So in June 2003, as reported, the Arizona Attorney General, together
with the U.S. Customs Service and the Arizona Department of Public Safety,
seized luxury homes and property valued at more than $20 million, a fleet of
expensive automobiles (Lamborghini, Rolls Royce, Mercedes Benz,
Cadillac, Ferrari and Bentley), nearly $3 million in cash, luxury jewelry, and
millions of dollars in bank accounts from C.P. Direct and its main
officers.
The Superior Court appointed Larry Warfield as the receiver in the
case, who was responsible for selling the seized assets and compensating the
victims. (For more information on consumer restitution and other case matters,

It is just too bad that some companies promise results more than what
their products could actually give. They employ dirty tricks just to ensure
money for their pockets and they do not think about the welfare of the people
who seek for genuine sexual health improvement.
