I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:************
Thank you for providing the ************************************** email address, which I have confirmed as yours. This made me researching things alot easier.
Attached are scans of emails sent from ***************** to **************************************, including a cease and desist notice and several warnings issued after the notice was violated regarding the promotional e-mails concerning your products to me..
Reviewing the evidence clearly indicates a violation of the CAN-SPAM Act, perhaps not directly by ************ but by your advertising partners. Since you did cite that your company clearly identifies itself in promotional e-mails. My cease and desist notice explicitly covers your advertising partners as well. Hence, while the responsibility may not rest solely with ************ someone within your company seemed unaware or negligent in addressing this matter promptly. Since the notices go all the way back to April, and the most recent violation is less than a month old.
Drawing an analogy, if I, as a ********, hire a contractor from ****** to construct a bridge in ******* and it collapses within a specified timeframe, I am liable for the failure despite being distant from the actual work.
Considering the evidence and the apparent lack of action within your company, I cannot accept your response. Your assurance of compliance and rectification is crucial. A blanket reference to adherence to the law isn't sufficient given the evidence at hand and the absence of accountability.
As per my original cease and desist notice, the means through which my email address was obtained were illegal, leading to a lack of trust in unsubscribe links.
My only acceptable response from *********** is a clear acknowledgment of errors made and a commitment to ensure both your company and your advertising partners strictly honor the cease and desist notice immediately.
Let me be very clear, working via the BBB is my last attempt to resolve this matter without getting the authorities such as the ***** the **** or anyone else involved. I will have my privacy respected.

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:
Your company was informed of the cease and desist notice. You were given evidence both via e-mail directly, and via the BBB.
You have yet to take accept you did anything wrong.
You seem ready to ignore the problem to hope it will go away, like a child who got caught with his/her hand in the cookie jar.
That is why I have found all your answers unacceptable, and as I have found your most recent one to be unacceptable.
If I may be so rude, but own up to your mistake, own up to the fact that your advertisers are using illegally obtained e-mails to promote your dubious product so we can move forward.
That is all I need, "************, we made a mistake, and we assure you it will never happen again."In order for the BBB to appropriately process your response, you MUST answer the question above.

On March 25 2023 I was researching Tinnitus because my ears have been ringing and came upon a video from Phytage Labs. The video was quite long and prommised relief from Tinnitus if I were to purchase their special forula Tinnitus 911.In their video they said to take Tinnitus 911 for at least 3 months for it to work and had a best offer of a 4 month supply at a discounted rate so thats the one that I ordered. In their video they stated that if I was not satisfied I could return the bottles even if they were empty for a full refund no questions asked. so after taking Tinnitus 911 and received absolutly no relief I returned the bottles to Phytage Labs ***** ****************************************** on July 25 from ********** *********** at my expense of $7.82 along with my reason for returning the bottles and my full name and address. I sent them a text asking for my refund but have not heard back from them.Business response

Thank you for your message with regards to the above referenced complaint, which we are happy to respond to.
The customer purchased our Tinnitus 911 supplement for $199.80 on 3/25/23, which comes with a 90 day guarantee. We have no ability to receive text messages and we had no contact from the customer about obtaining a refund or any receipt of their returned order.
We stand behind our products, which are in fact backed by scientific research. Research has found that a variety of herbs and other all natural ingredients, such as those contained in Tinnitus 911, have helped many people experience positive benefits. There is no one supplement that works for all people though.
As a testament to the fact that we go above and beyond, we have successfully obtained details from the customer to allow us to refund them by check. This is a gesture of goodwill since the customers generous 90 day guarantee expired over two months ago, and a month before the date of return stated by the customer.
We strive every day to provide friendly professional service to all of our customers and can be easily contacted by phone call to ************** by not by text message to the number.
We trust this clarifies the matter and welcome confirmation that the complaint has been closed.

Thank you for your message with regards to the above referenced complaint, which we are happy to respond to.
The customer purchased our Tinnitus 911 supplement for $178.33 including sales tax on 6/7/23, which comes with a 90 day guarantee. When they contacted us on 6/27/23 with a concern about their experience, we advised them to discontinue use immediately and we provided them with clear return instructions for a full refund once received back.
Our records show a further follow up to the customers email, but do not reflect any calls from the customer to us prior to 6/30/23, suggesting that the customer was dialing a wrong number at that time. We did however provide an immediate refund on 6/30/23, before even receiving the returned order back, and the customer confirmed on 7/6/23 that they have started the return process.

Despite unsubscribing from your spam email list, you continue to harass me with multiple emails daily. Ive reported you to CASL authorities and will continue to do so. A simple read through of the 27 complaints about your company and your shockingly ambivalent and arrogant responses, you clearly dont believe you will face any consequences. I think it is time to pursue legal action against you. Dont tell me you follow the law as I have already submitted proof of your lies to CASL authorities.

I ordered pills from them that were delivered to wrong address. They admitted that and I never received the pills. I cancelled the order having second thoughts about putting something in my body from a disorganized company. They were for tetinnitis (I know ridiculous to think a pill would work) They never sent the pills, my Citi card did two investigation s and said I have to deal with them. The co.said to go to ************************************** and upload Citi denial letter. There is no way to upload that there. I will upload it to you. I just want my $212.29 back through check or credit card and people to know that they shouldn't waste their time dealing with this company. Thank you ***********************Business response

Thank you for your message with regards to the above referenced complaint, which we are happy to respond to.
Tinnitus 911 has been one of our best selling supplements, and many customers tell us - when they are calling to place additional orders - that it provides a real benefit to their lives.
The customer made their purchase of 4 bottles on 4/27/2022 which comes with a 90 day guarantee. The customer issued a dispute and received a chargeback refund from their bank on 5/26/2022 without making any contact with us prior to disputing the charge with their bank.
The customer contacted us on 7/14/2022 asking for a refund, and it was identified that they had provided the wrong address when they placed their order online. They were advised that they instead chose to file a dispute and will therefore have received their refund via the chargeback process with their bank. In cases where the bank reverses that, we ask for written proof that they have been re-charged, since they already received a refund via their bank.
The customer contacted us again on 8/12/2022 asking for a refund, and had not provided the proof that their bank dropped the dispute as requested previously. We reminded the customer of this a number of times when they subsequently contacted us.
On 11/1/2022 the customer provided us with the written proof we had requested on 7/14/2022 and we therefore issued them with a refund via check.
We strive every day to provide friendly professional service to all of our customers and sorry that the customer preferred to file a dispute instead of contacting us and easily obtaining a refund.
We trust this clarifies the matter and welcome confirmation that the complaint has been closed.

I am receiving multiple (so far as many as ten) emails each day unsolicited using fake emails and domains with the pattern firstname-lastname-profession (e.g. **********************). Deleting them takes time each day, especially since they are interspersed in my legitimate correspondence. The "unsubscribe" function wants me to share my email address, and I know better than that. Can you stop them or, at least, demand that they have an automatic function for unsubscribing?Business response

Please note that since we have no record of the complainants email address or recognize the screenshot as being an email from our company, we can only conclude that this is a case of mistaken identity.
As mentioned previously, any genuine emails sent by us identify our company by name, show a physical address and have valid and working opt-out / unsubscribe links in the footer. Messages which do not include this information - such as in the screenshot - have not been sent by our company. Given these facts, there is no further information available for us to provide since we have no record of the customers email address.

I never opted in as the business has stated. I have been harvested. Their response mimics their other responses to the same claim by other consumers; therefore, is generic, and not heart felt.
If they state I have opted in, then I request to see where I have subscribed, and ask that they provide me documentation subscription. Since I have never subscribed, I wonder if Identity Theft needs to be reported.
