Male Enhancement - Part 2
Mail enhancement
It recently stepped in to obtain assurances from a United States based company that it will no longer distribute mailings advertising its male enhancement product in the United Kingdom. Long Life Consumer SA LLC sent over 30,000 mailings to UK consumers for a course of 'TerreX' male enhancement pills lasting 7 to ten days and costing £37.00.
Described as 'a considerable advance for male sexuality', mailings made claims about the efficacy of the product and also included photographs of men who claimed to have increased the size of their penis as a result of using the male enhancement tablets. One man claimed to have added an extra four inches to his family jewels. The company subsequently received hundreds of orders.
The OFT contacted Long Life Consumer SA LLC – whose profits are made entirely offshore. The company responded by stating that their commercial activity was in the USA and that they therefore fell under American jurisdiction. Then they tried to sell the OFT on the idea of the product by claiming that ingredients within TerreX tablets have been clinically tested and that there are clinical reports on the beneficial effects of the ingredients for men with vertically challenged penises.
They reluctantly agreed to stop selling TerreX in the UK and mailings ceased. TerreX mailings were then promptly replaced with nearly 200,000 mailings for Linea 7 slimming capsules, said to ‘force’ the body to lose fat without dieting. The OFT stepped in a second time and put a stop to the slimming pills. So tough to make a dishonest buck.
