I Was a Victim of a Hair Transplant Pricing Scam
I am one of the latest victims of hair transplant scam in this country. I asked for a full head of hair and I was told all I need is 3600 grafts at a price of 1.75 dollar per graft (too good to be true). The person in charge claims that he transplanted 3800 grafts which mean 11000 hairs (an average graft is 3 hairs x 3800=11400 hairs). And I counted them one by one (this lie is in the consent form he prepared for me to sign) Is this true? No! Never! It is impossible to extract so many grafts from just a 20 sq. cm donor area.
So the strategy of these crooks is to bring down the price at one end and fake the number of grafts at the other end so to come up with the same dollar amount as with other companies but pretending to be competitive in the market. I borrowed money from Chase Health Advance and once I discovered that I was a victim of fraud I stopped making further payments. I have filed a complaint with Florida Department of consumer affairs, Department of Health and FBI in Miami, FL. I trusted these crooks through Chase Health Advance. The latter has stopped lending money to their prospects. I need your feedback to be more effective against these criminals. Please provide your advice.
The legal remedies include criminal and civil options. I am not a lawyer, but I’ve posted your email so that other people will remember that when someone promises you something that seems too good to be true, it usually is. I’ve written much about scams and “discount” hair transplants before (like in this post).
If you counted thousands of grafts or hairs, that is quite a task. Is it possible that your surgery wasn’t that long ago and the grafts haven’t grown in yet? I don’t know enough about your case to really offer much.
