    • CieAura FTC Complaints

      Has anyone reported to any State Attorney General or the FTC about the inability to receive a refund?

      Sometimes you have to love the Freedom of Information act.

      One phone call, and I was able to answer my own question. I received a packet from the FTC today with several pages of complaints about CieAura.

      The mildest is one complaining about paying $5.95 for priority shipping, and not receiving overnight shipping.

      The others are filed under claims of "Deception/Misrepresentation": I will try to scan and post the complaints here if possible.

      Please do! I've been searching for hard data that can be used to bring truth to CieAura devotees. :)

      Truthfully, I wouldn't be surprised if shipping complaints are in the mix of things an individual can find wrong with this company, aside from the other typical issues such as lack of refunds and results....lol.

      I have to tell you that I try to approach companies and products like this without being cynical and close minded, but time and time again, products such as the CieAura chips surface to appeal to a growing minority of holistically-inclined or spiritual "New Age" type individuals (Nothing against spirituality or any belief system) that are always ready to try something that isn't conventional; Only to be completely duped and left to take the loss.

      This is a $250 billion industry that has nearly 80 million people buying similar products based on vibrations, light, energy and even symbols each year. Despite the fact that the government has made quite a few road blocks for this kind of thing, the MLM companies that are involved find easy ways to get around the loopholes and roadblocks. In this case, CieAura did it by adding "Our Chips do not treat or cure any specific disease." to the bottom of the box. This box is printed and manufactured by a company that finds every roundabout way of claiming that their product treats and prevents EVERY disease.

      CieAura is just like LifeWave, another company selling patches that have various effects on the human body ranging from energy, to wellness, sleep assistance etc. The companies all present their products in a well written, intricately-presented form that manages to suggest without claiming that their product will deliver the impossible.

      What I find most hard to contemplate is that even from an open-minded point of view, I am left in awe over the actual numbers of individuals that can't seem to understand marketing even at its most primitive level. I can't imagine being presented with products like these and actually believing that they are valid, and not so much because I don't believe in energies and vibrations and that they may actually hold the key to the future of medicine, but because these are MLM companies, designed by their very nature to make money. How is it that even a relatively educated person can't tell when a presentation is trying to pat them with their hard earned cash?
