After all the years that Gisol’s Special Offer Countdown Timer has been conning people into rushing their decisions to sign up to their scam, it has now mysteriously vanished!
You know the one… It looked like you had to sign up really quickly, or you wouldn’t get that Special Deal… The timer that reset itself EVERY DAY… Another one of the false and misleading adverts that Gisol is famous for…

Gisol’s famous non-existant 30 Day Money Back Guarantee is no longer advertised on their website. At some point this year, their highly trained graphic artist (or a 3 year old) has changed their front page. In fact, it has changed a couple of times over the last couple of years. Using the Internet Archive “Wayback Machine” I managed to get some screen shots:

Jim says:
If you have been scammed by GISOL please call the CA district attorney Robert Jackson at 213-580-3324.

Please call and tell him your information.
Thanks

Be aware of a possible new scam by the crooks at Gisol. They allowed my domain name to expire and it was quickly bought up by a company with the name of Acquire This Name. I offered to buy my domain for $9.95 (the normal domain name fee). Below is a copy of numerous letters that I have received from this company. My offer was insufficient… [ ... ]

Looking at my webstats I came across the following visits from JP Morgan Chase after they searched for “Gisol Class Action”. The time they took at each page suggested they were actually reading the posts, not just quickly scanning. It may be of use to you guys who have problems with your Chase VISA disputes… [ ... ]
I noticed the LA BBB suddenly upgraded Gisol’s rating from F to D, so I sent this email to them:
Dear Sir or Madam,
