Beware of "Healthandcare": Share Your Experiences and Reviews Here!

Post by Kim »

Hello everyone,

I feel compelled—no, obligated—to warn you all about a so-called health care company that’s nothing but a scam. That's right, I’m talking about "Healthandcare." I urge each and every one of you to avoid this site at all costs! It is not a legitimate health care provider. Instead, it's a front for peddling cheap, substandard products that are dangerously misleading.

Imagine this: My elderly mother, fragile and in need of genuine medical support, was lured into purchasing from this site. They had the audacity to market their products as high-quality medical supplies. The reality? Junk from China, produced without any regard for medical standards, using the cheapest materials available. And the kicker? They charge exorbitant prices as if they’re offering top-of-the-line products!

When my mother received her purchase, not only was it useless, but it actually worsened her condition. Can you believe that? After trying to return the product and contacting "Healthandcare" numerous times, we were met with silence. No replies to our emails, no customer service, nothing. How can they prey on vulnerable people like this?

I know I’m not alone in this—who else has experienced this kind of blatant deception? Share your stories below. Let’s expose this scam together!

How many more people must be duped before we take a stand? How many more loved ones must suffer because of these unscrupulous merchants? Speak up! Your voice matters.

Tips to Avoid Online Scams:

Research Thoroughly: Always check multiple reviews from different sources. If something seems too good to be true, it probably is.
Check for Certifications: Ensure that the products are certified by relevant health authorities.
Check Product Origins: Be wary of products that do not disclose their manufacturing details.
Customer Service: Test their customer service before making a purchase. If they are hard to reach or unresponsive, that's a red flag.
Return Policies: Make sure you understand the return and refund policies. Reliable companies usually have clear and fair policies.
Price Check: If prices seem too high for unknown brands, it might be a red flag.


Let’s support one another and prevent others from falling into the same trap. Share your experiences, your warnings, and your tips. Together, we can make a difference.

Stay safe and vigilant! :x

Thanks for reading my previous post about the unfortunate experience my elderly mother had with the scam site "healthandcare." I know many of you might be in the same boat, so I thought I'd share some tips on how to fight back and reclaim what’s rightfully yours through a chargeback.

First things first—What is a chargeback? In simple terms, a chargeback is a mechanism that allows you to dispute a transaction on your credit or debit card. It's like a financial boomerang that hits the scammer where it hurts—in their pocket! Not only can you potentially get your money back, but it also slaps a financial penalty on the scamming company. Poetic justice, isn’t it?

So, how does a chargeback work?

-Contact Your Bank or Card Issuer: This is your first step. Explain your situation in detail. Make sure to mention that you've tried to get a refund from the scamming site but were ignored. Time is of the essence here, so act quickly!

-Provide Evidence: Gather all the evidence you can—emails, screenshots, receipts. The more documentation you have, the stronger your case.

-Follow Up: Don’t just file and forget. Follow up with your bank regularly. Persistence pays off.

-Wait for Resolution: This might take some time, but patience is key. Your bank will investigate and, if they find in your favor, will credit your account.

Has anyone else gone through this with Health and Care or any of their other scammy brands? Maybe walkingsticks, shoeinsoles, raynaudsdiease... whatever boring brand name they come up with next? If you've been ignored after asking for a refund, don’t despair—fight back!

Why should we let these scammers get away with it? Why should our loved ones suffer because of their deceitful tactics? Stand up, speak out, and take action! Your experiences matter, and by sharing them, we can warn others and help each other navigate these treacherous waters.

Please, if you’ve had similar experiences, post your stories and reviews below. Let’s shine a spotlight on these scammers and make sure no one else falls into their trap!

Looking forward to hearing your stories and supporting each other through this.

Stay vigilant, friends!

I cannot stress this enough: DO NOT TRUST ANY RANDOM WEBSITE WITH YOUR HEALTH! Especially not HealthandCare, which sells garbage products at rip-off prices. These crooks target the elderly and vulnerable, people desperate for relief from their health conditions. Healthandcare preys on their desperation, providing them not with solutions but with harmful products that could do more harm than good. It’s pure evil.

Health products need to adhere to strict UK health standards! These standards exist for a reason – to ensure our safety and well-being. Products like back braces, neck braces, wrist supports, orthotic insoles, and compression garments must meet specific regulations to be legally sold. But guess what? Healthandcare’s products don’t even come close to meeting these standards.

Take, for example, the orthotic insoles they sell. These low-quality, cheaply made items are churned out in China and available for pennies on wholesale sites such as Alibaba, yet healthandcare charges a bomb for them. And the worst part? These insoles don’t adhere to medical standards. They could cause more harm than good, exacerbating existing foot conditions or creating new ones. It’s outrageous!

Legitimate health products must comply with UK health standards like the Medical Devices Regulations, the General Product Safety Regulations, and the Consumer Protection Act. These standards ensure that products are safe, effective, and reliable. Healthandcare’s products? They’re a disgrace. They’re not safe, they’re not effective, and they’re certainly not reliable.

We need to shut down healthandcare and its dodgy sister brands. Trading Standards needs to hear from all of us. If you’ve been scammed by healthandcare, report them! The more of us who file reports, the more likely these scammers will get what they deserve. Let’s put an end to this madness.

Have you been ripped off or harmed by healthandcare’s products? Share your experiences below. Together, we can spread awareness and protect others from falling victim to these vile scams.

Stay safe out there, everyone!

Cheers,
Roy

I had a run-in with them that still boils my blood. 😡 My poor dad, bless him, he's 78 and not in the best of health. We thought we were getting him a proper medical-grade blood pressure monitor. What arrived? Some cheap plastic contraption that barely held together.

I called them multiple times—multiple times! Not a single response. Emailed too. Nada.

But here's the real kicker: after buying from them, I noticed odd charges on my credit card. Yeah, you guessed it—they fraudulently stole my details and started withdrawing money! I couldn't believe it. Banks got involved, authorities alerted... an absolute nightmare. Yet, these scammers are still out there, doing God knows what to more unsuspecting folks.

Ugh, I’m so glad someone else has the guts to speak up about Healthandcare! I ordered some supposedly high-quality knee braces for my gran. She’s been struggling with arthritis for years, and we really thought we’d found something that could help. When the parcel arrived, I was beyond excited to give it to her. But when she put it on, it was clear it was nothing but a flimsy piece of fabric! It offered no support whatsoever. Absolutely pathetic.

Oh, love, don't get me started on 'Healthandcare'! How can they sleep at night? My husband, God bless him, needed a mobility aid. We thought we’d found the perfect one on their site. You should’ve seen the picture—looked sturdy and reliable. What we got? Absolute rubbish! It was so flimsy; I wouldn’t trust it to hold up a paperweight, never mind my husband.

And the customer service, or lack thereof! Sent them email after email… No response! How do they get away with it? Are there no authorities looking into these scoundrels? We’re not made of money, you know. Every penny counts, especially when you’re dealing with health issues. It’s just heartbreaking to see people being lied to and cheated. I hope more people come forward and expose them for what they truly are—crooks!

"Healthandcare" is an absolute disgrace! I’m not usually one to rant online, but they’ve left me no choice. I bought those insoles for my plantar fasciitis, thinking they’d help. Well, fat chance of that! They made my pain ten times worse!

When I showed them to my podiatrist, he was aghast. He said they offered no proper support and would throw off my whole body alignment. Can you believe it? They could actually make things worse! It’s criminal, I tell you.

Trying to get a refund was a nightmare. I sent email after email, and not a single response. How can they treat people like this? Especially vulnerable ones like us? It’s heartless and cruel. A scam of the highest order!

Please, if you’re reading this, stay away from "Healthandcare." They’re nothing but a pack of wolves in sheep’s clothing. They don’t care about your health—only your money!
