Attach the word scam to any product and you get the instant feeling that the product is junk, doesn’t work and is designed to take your money leaving you feeling like you got ripped off. With P90X though this is not the case.
The in home program heavily promoted through infomercials and online advertisers has a heck of a reputation as being a solid program well worth it’s weight (and it’s heavy) in gold. Yet many consumers have been taken advantage of, ripped off, and left with a product that is to say the least sub standard. This article will outline 3 reasons this has happened to many and how to prevent it from happening to you.
The P90X Scam Is On: First it should be mentioned that the parent company of P90X Beachbody has gone to some incredible lengths to bring to the health and fitness market a top notch exercise program. With that being said anytime you have a great working product, a huge interest in that product and a way to produce it cheaper and undercut the legitimate retailers of that product, it creates a “perfect storm” for scams and fake reproductions that are never good quality.
P90X is no different and many unscrupulous organizations have taken advantage of this situation creating many great looking websites and guarantees that ingeniously deceive the end buyer into purchasing what they think is a great deal on a P90X workout program.
If Buying P90X – Buyer Beware! If you find yourself totally sold on the workout from whatever media means Beachbody has used to pitch you the P90X story (usually great infomercials and tons of online ads) then try it and see if it works. But before you buy you might want to do your research a little, and this is where the “Buyer Beware” catch phrase comes in handy.
Attempt to combat the initial urge to purchase low cost and keep some cash in your wallet. There’s no shortage of creative ways to save some money when P90X is wanted but 9 out of 10 of those people that buy fakes find that what hey bough is not whole, or doesn’t work. Some sit around home going several weeks only to find that what they ordered never shipped and when the day comes to try to find out where the package is they are unable to communicate to customer service because they don’t speak Chinese (no joke!). So if you want to purchase P90X do your research to make sure it’s by a legitimate place, so keep on reading this article to discover what makes a P90X seller real versus a fake.
Looking To Save A Buck On P90X: For those internet savvy shoppers out there the following scenario is usually what unfolds. Your convinced of the program and decide to buy it, but your not one of those that picks up the phone to order something from an 800 infomercial number at 3am. Rather after some time and reasonable thought you decide to go online and “research” the program.
You find it on Google quite easily and decide to dig past page one of the search results looking for a better price. After a few moments you begin to see a barrage of good looking sites all listing the complete P90X system for $30, $40, $50 or more dollars off the “sticker” price. And this is how they get you, the prospect of saving $50 bucks is just to great a temptation to pass up. Your savvy shopper grin quickly fades away after the realization sinks in that you’ve been scammed.
Ways To Ensure Your Not Scammed: There are several ways to insulate yourself from getting ripped off with no repercussions to the seller. The best way is to make sure and buy from an authorized Beachbody retailer or coach. If your unfamiliar with Beachbody coaches they are in a sense the Beachbody grass roots sales force. If word of mouth or buying from a friend isn’t your thing there are many online retailers that legitimately sell P90X.
The best way to spot one is that they sell the program for the retail price of $119.85 as a legitimate distributor cannot sell the program for less than what Beachbody sells it for. Anyone selling P90X for less is guaranteed to be not legitimate and selling fake, bootleg, pirated or whatever you want to call it P90X programs.
I still strongly encourage you to shop around a bit even if the retail price is fixed between Beachbody and all it’s legitimate online retailers and coaches. This is because the online retailers are given a little latitude in how much they can charge for shipping and whether or not they decide to charge sales tax. In the end shopping around may still save you $20 bucks or more if you find a retailer not looking to completely hose you.
Following some of these simple yet powerful suggestions when it comes to buying P90X will save you a lot of time and cash and help you avoid the pitfalls of buying a P90X workout DVD program from fake websites looking to make a quick buck from your lack of research and at your expense.
