I love to share good products and services with you here.  But I recently came across a dishonest - perhaps sneaky - company that I want to warn you about.

Back in April, I got a friendly email from N. Hamzei, Director of Deep Relief Pain Lotions (PainLotions.com - no link, as I don’t want to reward them) asking to advertise on How to Cope with Pain.  I sent him back my rates and also requested samples of their pain lotions to review.  He said, ”Great!”

He sent his advertising link to me right away and I posted it here.  But no samples and no payment.  I checked back with him a few weeks later, and got back an email, “My deepest apologies….”  Over the next month, I twice sent an email asking what’s happening, and each time, got back a “so sorry!” response from him.  But still no payment and no lotions.  Finally I took down the advertising, having learned an unfortunately lesson.

Has anyone else had good or bad contact with this compnay?  Until I hear that my experience was atypical, I’d certainly recommend staying far away from Deep Relief Pain Lotions.  For me, they didn’t relieve pain, but caused lots of it!
