Surprised Customer Says Penis Pills Don't Work

Inspector Lee said:
What this guy probably isn't saying is these pills caused him to sprout massive breasts. And he plays racquetball twice a week and is going through more duct tape than a...

Who are we gonna sue next, the weatherman? Blah... It is people like this who need to disappear in black sedans at 3 AM.

A weatherman in a small town was recently sued by the mayor for ruining some occasion by not predicting the weather correctly.

I feel sorry for someone who believes everything since no one has all of the answers. However, I have most of them filed around here somewhere, if I could just remember where I put them. :D

I can't imagine how people think that you can get quick fixes to actually work. Hopefully, many people will learn from the experience--on both sides.

If he wins, do you think he'll get a big head? Or do you think his case will come up short? Hopefully, at the very least, the spammers will get a stiff fine, if not hard time.

Too bad this isn't a criminal case. There might have been a hung jury...
 
Sarcasm at its best...

Hahahaha..that's HILARIOUS!
 
Couldn't Resist!

We are a small African State in desperate need of your assistance to transport USD 25 Million inches - oops Dollars out of our Country. Your name was given to us as an honest individual, how can be ripped off, oops typo error, we mean - can be trusted to care for our money.

We need your assistance to give us all your Worldly goods, in an effort to add to your stature in our eyes, which we are sure God will reward you (and us). As a good faith payment we will send you our long known secret of "endowment" freely to you. As we are a poor Country, all we ask is a Postage and Handling Fee of USD 5.9 Million.

May God help you help our starving Nation (and leave less food in your children's mouths).

:D :D :D

Apologies to all the African Nations and Internet Scammers - but I couldn't resist it!
 
Actually, this lawsuit is against "legit" penis enlargement scams involving the entirely unregulated herbal suppliment market, not the cheap V!@gra spam senders we all hate so much. The article specifically mentions TV infomercials and the herbal ingredients, which put a lot more legitimate legal pressure to be honest than people who use zombie computers to send their ads.

sort of OT but i don't really see why people complain about spam so much? :confused: I get less than a dozen unwanted emails per week, and i have 4 email address. (all for different things of course) and none of those emails are about penis enlargement or viagra or nigerian ebay phishers.

Apparently you are one of the lucky few who've somehow escaped notice or just never give your e-mail address to anybody, but I assure you there's a VERY good reason why people complain about spam so much.

Personally, at an address I use very little I "only" get 7-10 spam messages per day. At addresses that are exposed publically, I see somewhere on the order of 20-50 per day, and that if anything is on the low side.

You are very correct the importance of learning is not to remember everything, but to know where to find the needed information.

Quick fixes often don't work all that well. With herbal medications you really don't know that amount of medication that is in each batch. So quality can vary from batch to batch.
 
Let me play the devil's advocate...

First before calling this guy name, maybe you should think about the most probable possibility: He knew the medicine was false, bought it then sued to get millions... This is the USA, its the most logical solution...

As for people who keep shouting about their big dicks, maybe the mac community, for some mystical reason, doesnt represent reality, but know this: more than 40% of men think that their penis arent long/big enough. And one out of 7 (of ALL age groups under 60) cant sustain an errection long enough to have an intercourse.

Basicaly, this mean that there is a HUGE market for these kind of products and unscupulous company prey on them with false products.

Do some googling for sexual relationship stats and you will be surprised.
 
Why is everyone so quick to bash this guy? Sure, it does seem quite dumb for him to have believed these advertisements in the first place, but the products did NOT work as advertised. It's not as if these companies exist for any reason other than to rip people off. In this guys's case, as well as many other people's, I'm sure, they succeeded. Now why shouldn't he be allowed to sue them for that, for not holding up their end of the business transaction?

Also, he probably went into this purchase with the same trepidation many of us have about it. It seems unlikely that he had 100% faith in this product at the time of purchase--he probably had many doubts, but couldn't not try it. That doesn't make him an idiot, it just means he saw whether or not a product works as advertised. It didn't, now he sues. That's kind of how it works.

For the record, I have never tried such products.

CP Direct, the Penis Pill company shut down here had over $30 million dollar in assets when they raided it.

High end cars, homes, cash, ect.

Penis Pills are big business, and the FTC takes years to shut down herbal supplement businesses.

CP Direct isn't the only nefarious company operating here, it was just one of the more poorly designed scams.

There are better ones running that have better luck at staying in business -- Vitamist

I expect this to limp along in the courts for years.
