Orogold 

Meeting Sofia was the best thing that happened to me. I always get stopped by people giving out free samples in the mall and trying to get me to buy their product but I never have the money to buy them and I'm usually not interested. But Sofia had this wonderful spirit about her that made me say "I'm gonna let this girl get her commission and I'm gonna buy this product". I use the moisturizer everyday and my skin has never felt so soft. Obviously I still have a few blemishes on my face but my face feels cleaner and softer and moister than ever.

THANK YOU SOFIA!!!!

Meeting Maya has been an interesting experience. She has an amazing amount of knowledge of skin, and how to treat various skin situations. I have been very impressed with her knowledge and for the first time in my life I had a facial and it was very enjoyable. I give Maya high credit for how she treated me today. You won't be disappointed.

The worst! I think the eye serum demo actually CAUSED me to have bags under my eyes that I didn't have before. I'm too young to have bags. First I thought they would get better. I told the guy my skin was stinging and he offered up other products. The Peel exfoliator product was like glue beads that stuck to my skin and was painful to get off.
I am writing to our attorney general - they should be put out of business.

I just bought the gold machine from Maya and Tyler. I am excited for my new journey!

The only reason this company has 1 star is that this program wouldn’t let me start without leaving a star. WARNING!! This company is a new scam and they are in America!
Multiple red flags went up with the first sales person. 1. No one is stationed at Masada, Israel. It is a historical site. 2. Sales Person’s accent changed three times. 3. When a customer tells you they are highly allergic to Vitamin E and suddenly the Vitamin E switches to Vitamin C... another clue. We politely let him finish his pitch and my husband did purchase the “sample demo product.” We should have left right then. I was offered a complementary “Facial” with his “very booked boss.” The facial turned out to be A high pressured sales pitch for an incredibly expensive heat wand. Online it was being sold for $10,000 but she was offering it to us for $6,000. When we tried to politely leave because we couldn’t afford it at either cost- she accelerated her sales pitch resulting in having us to become more forceful with our wanting to leave. She literally tried to block us from leaving the treatment room. The moment she turned to insulting us and telling me that “i don’t take care of myself” and my husband “wanted me ugly” I had to force myself out of the room. I was so angry that I dropped an F-bomb on the original sales clerk.
This company needs to be shut down as they are dangerous, manipulative, and play on the emotions of people. NASA doesn’t authorize skin care products. The FDA doesn’t approve stuff like this and when a person explains they have an allergy a licensed cosmetologist would know what to do. Instead of continuing with their wild sales pitch.
The good news we didn’t lose any money. Bad news... I can’t get back the 2 hours.

Surprisingly few critiques of the product itself on google. Those that find it makes 'a difference' are unaware that it's not a special protein treatment but a cosmetic product called silicone. This causes instant but temporary wrinkle erasure, at the same time drying out the skin. Have a look at the ingredient list - the first two contain silicates.

During a Christmas shopping outing at Plaza Las Américas, I was foolish enough to take a sample and was immediately ushered in for another gift.

From that point forward to for the next 45 minutes I thought I had inadvertently stepped into a time share sales pitch. After applying products to my face, i was exposed to one of the most high pressure sales pitches ever.

When I explained to the young lady that I would not be making a $2,000 purchase she reduced the cost to $1,000. I again explained that I would not be buying $1,000 of anything, but would talk to my husband about it. She then told me that I should be an independent woman who makes her own decisions. I still refused.

Then she went into the back office and returned telling me she had gotten permission from head quarters to allow me into her VIP group. She explained that not everyone is offered this opportunity. I could now get the Teramic skin care package for $1,000 and she would throw in the eye products for free. I again declined. She then suggested I make the purchase by putting it on several different cards.

What is so bad about this is that you are held hostage because you have all this crap on your face. Finally when she realized she wasn’t getting anywhere she got very cold and I got out of the store!

Lesson learned....do NOT take a sample, do NOT go into the store. This people, handing out samples in malls should be stopped. It’s a total hard sales pitch and you will lose 45 minutes of your time that you will never get back.

This company is horrible which is the organization for introstem I got scammed by them and their sales tactics are too much for a person to handle the saleswomen said to me why are you shopping in the mall if your not going to buy our products I come to the mall to buy hot chocolate not to get harassed by you I was minding my own business I usually am careful of this types of scams but today I was caught of guard it won’t happen again you will never get my money you guys are a bad company who refuse to do returns to people who don’t even want this types of products I was literally forced to be there next time I’m just going to call the cops cause I’m not being held hostage again and it definitely won’t happen again

Got panhandled walking up George Street in Sydney today. They tried their hardest to make a sale but I refused. I am so glad I didn't purchase as the serum wore off in an hour. Avoid at all costs !!

After I read all of the reviews here, I am so glad that I didn't buy the Orogold wrinkle eye serum which is bloody expensive. Orogold hires salesgirls to scam people by forcing people to buy the products and pretended they give a big discount which I suspect the discounted price is the original price. I bought eye serum once and that will be the last time I will buy the Orogold products.

I purchased so much from this company I can’t figure out how to use it all. I went back but told them there was no way I was going to purchase anything else.

Got most of my instructions but still tried to sell me another $2,000us more in products.

Had a guilt trip laid on me - the Orogold rep said he had spent 2 hours with me but I was quite clear I just wanted an explanation of how to use the $10,000 worth of products I had purchased a year ago.

Stay away.

I went to Albrook mall in Panama City for a few days ago, visit Orogold store, very selling girl took me inside and tried to selling me more and more products, when I show her im not that interested of buying products for many hundreds of dollar, she were going down in price more and more, offering me more and more products, start from like 400 usd. Im glad I went out without any products, I think this is a scam sorry to say that.

I bought the same tube of “Botox in a bottle” as another women on this site from an orogold outfit on Rodeo drive in Palm Desert California. I was on vacation with my family shopping and I have to admit I was impressed when the sales associate put this magic cream under one eye and not the other and showed me in the mirror how my fine lines and wrinkles had miraculously disappeared. I was maybe 28, 29 at the time and didn’t have hundreds of dollars to spend on anything let alone on skin care products. After telling the gentleman no thank you for the 3rd time they had dropped the price from $399 with a free gift down to an all time low of $99.99 with no free gift. Of course I bought it and used it a handful of times and then it got buried under 5 years of skin care and make up products. I was cleaning out my cupboards and found it and just used it tonight. Then it got me thinking I wonder what the reviews are on this $100 magic potion of mine that I know I got scammed into. Now I feel horrified to know that another women actually paid $900 for a bottle of this crap that I got for $99. I agree this company should be shut down immediately. This is an outrage.

Hello, I bought the moisturizer 24k. It was very runny at first. I think when I open the jar the water in the product evaporates and the product seems to be heaver now.
The reason for the 1 star today is due to inside the box is a pamphlet that is not in English. Of course, I know how to use a moisturizer and use it daily. For a 70 year old woman with great skin I feel this moisturizer would better suit a younger person. I have no idea what the ingredients are so I will not invest this much money into a product that I see no results. For some reason my skin stings after I apply ?

Yes, this company is a scam. I can say that I put great effort into obtaining a complete refund. First, I called my credit card company to dispute the charge. I went into the store with my phone on speaker so that the credit card company rep could hear the exchange. She advised me to leave the store when she heard how aggressive the orogold employee was, finding that my safety was compromised. I advised that the customer service number is not linked with any particular store. Each store is nothing more than a shoddy substandard pop up staffed with real life gypsies with Israeli accents. The pop ups are placed in tony neighborhoods and resorts, many of which have neighborhood associations that you can make aware of the behavior of one of their retailers. For example, Southampton New York was able to get rid of them because you are not allowed to solicit outside of the storefront. With your credit card company when you dispute the charge, let them know that they are not speaking with the actual merchant. In addition, you can create a letter for a real dealer in a line of skin care (such as an Aveda concept salon) that states that 100% refunds are standard and customary in the skin care field, including but not limited to where a customer may have an allergic reaction and cannot use the product. The skin care specialist should be helpful in signing the letter as the dealer wants scammers such as Orogold chased away as much as you do. There is hope. You should be able to have success in your credit card dispute. All the best of luck.

Truly the worst and most horrible experience I have ever had. They hide the NI Tefund policy behind products and dont say anything about it. As they ring you up they try to sell you more at "discounted" price. When you try to return it after realizing you have been scammed, they tell you there is NO Refund...period. Treat you like a queen and then rude and dismissive when you explain you had no idea about the policy. They told me I should have looked at the receipt where it is printed. I didn't have a chance as they fast talk you from beginning to end and wont let you get a word in. Please beware! This company teaches sales people to distract and deceive!!!

Honestly the government should close down this company and let them refund everyone’s money. They are a scam that lie on the conversation that you make on the phone after explaining your concerns. Camilla is a Customer representative and is very rude. I do customer service and this is definitely not how to treat a customer who is upset about a situation. I hope the government sees this post and every other post

Listen Gen-Xers (and Baby Boomer and Millennials). This is one of the best high-class scams you can find. You are beautiful on your own! OROGOLD is not sitting next to your Dollar General, Wal-Mart, or miscellaneous other home town establishments, They are hitting you on vacation or when you are at work in a city. So, let’s just say this - they are very good sales people. I first encountered OROGOLD when I went to a conference in Las Vegas about 7 “younger” years ago. They pulled me in and showed me the magic they could do to my left eye. I had no money – thank goodness. So, I walked out with a sample. I was always intrigued though. This summer, after 5 days of camping in Yosemite, our hotel was right next to one of their stores in San Francisco. I’m sure I looked terrible and I was chased by a salesgirl. As exhausted as I was, I compiled. She proceeded to do the same thing as Vegas. Of course, I am now 49, so it seemed a bit more relevant. My husband came in and watched her magic. And said, let’s get it. I said no. And she dropped the price from 499 down to 199. I said ok and he left his credit card. I’m ready to go and she started the peel thing on me. I said no. Then she said I can drop the price to 49. I wasn’t listening hard enough; she had very quietly added a 2 to the 49. And that’s what we ended up paying. Not 30 minutes later, we realized that the charge was nonrefundable. They prey on women. Please remember – you are beautiful. You do not want a vision of youth selling you what you think is gold, but is really glue.

Even though this is an English site i do want to write a review for oro gold shop in George street Sydney. I can completely empathise with all of you people who have written here. I spend 1 night in sydney recently to meet up with a friend...and yes I to was accosted by a very pretty young girl. I am 66 years old and certainly astute...and to this day I am so surprised how I actually " bought into" the tactics they used. In my case I paid $900 for a small syringe of what was referred to Botox in a bottle. Why did i do it...not only because of their pressure tactics...they also told me that the Australian Cancer Council was affiliated with them!!!! For me that was a BIGGG deal. They showed me the Cancer Council Logo and...not ever thinking that a company would steep that low...I bought this lie. That evening i wanted to look up some reviews but we experienced an outage until late next day. This is not an unusual event with the telco i have my mobile through. Once home the next day and reconnected to the net...I discovered to my horror what a big mistake I had made. Here in Australia we have the ACCC and when i looked up their guide lines it became clear that making false claims in the manner oro gold did and using the bullying tactics to make a sale is good reason to take a company to ACCC. I first had to negotiate with the company however...which i did. I send 3 emails and received 3 responses. In their last response they offered me $1360 worth of free products. My response? Thank you but no thank you. Not once did they apologise for fraudulantly claiming to be affiliated with CC Au. They refused to give me my money back even though i wanted to happily send back the product. Yet they were willing to send me gifts worth $1360. I guess they now think i will not pursue the matter further but i will. I am just horrified at their tactics. Just complaining on these forums is not going to bring any change i dont think. I will write an update further down the track. Nicole Marie Nieuwland. Au.

These guys are scam artists Louis Daval in Maui 'sold' me a product ($US3,000) a skin lightening machine - it was only a deposit but the next day he refused to give the deposit back to me. Then he said he would cancel the shipment and I was to ring Orogold consumer line to get my money back. I live in NZ and was on holiday in Maui so I then get Fedex ringing they have a parcel for me - so I sent it back. But the product came from a weird place in Minnesota and no one was available to take the product back. So I have no product and the store won't answer the phone. I have rung the consumer line and taken it to authorities but it is obvious what has happened. What I do not understand is how there is no way to get these scam artists in jail - they are essentially fraudsters
