Failed to comply
In a previous article, I had reported about IHRB being sanctioned by the Therapeutic Goods Advertising Code Council. Sam Cohen was warned, and he was asked to withdraw his advertisement. In a letter of 24 January 2007, he was told by the Chairman of the Panel, that IHRB’s attention is ‘drawn to the provisions of [...]
Jane’s sad story
Hi Jonar I sympathise with you, because I, too, had been misled by Sam Cohen. I approached IHRB in early December 2003. At the time, I was losing more than the usual hair loss cycle and I was concerned that I was going to end up bald. At the consultation, Sam came across that he [...]
Pick a card… any card…
IHRB’s contract ought to be used as a case-study at the Institute of Magic. It seems that magic-tricks and tricky-contracts use the same principles. They both rely on illusion and warped perception. They both use the power of distraction. While you are fixated on one thing, something else is taking place, right under your nose. [...]
The jewel in the crown
IHRB has the most amazing contract. It ought to win ‘The Filthiest Contract Award’. On the surface, it seems mild and innocent. Alas, I must sound the alarm. Clause 5 of Sam Cohen’s IHRB contract says ‘We are sincerely interested in your satisfaction. We say honestly “If you have diligently followed the hair regrowth treatment [...]
The day IHRB was sanctioned
In all my dealings with IHRB and Sam Cohen, I have found that he just points the finger at other people, but fails to acknowledge that he has been in hot-water himself. His colour laser-printer churns away as he hands me damning reports about his competitors. He never sells me on anything good about his [...]
IHRB is not licenced to sell
Around the world, innocent consumers have suffered at the hands of liars and cheats. So much so, that we have complex laws to protect the rights and health of consumers. Given half a chance, con-men will scam their own mother, just to grab an advantage. In Australia, we are world-leaders in caring about each other, so [...]
Exorbitant prices
Consumers are tricked into long-term contracts which force them to purchase dubious products from IHRB at sky-high prices. In an article called ‘Think no evil of me’, it was demonstrated how Sam Cohen and IHRB trick consumers into a long-term contract. Here are some examples of their astronomical prices. At the same time, we find [...]
Think no evil of me
Through my normal day-job, I come across all sorts of people, including deluded con-artists. Over the years, I have found that those who protest too much, often have something to hide. For example, you might have heard about gay-bashers being gay themselves. They project a false bravado to impress their mates, and they will do [...]
Paid to endorse
When you see stunning ‘before and after shots’, along with testimonials, what crosses your mind? All of IHRB’s ads feature people and their testimonials. What impression do you form? I ask this because I believe that most people who see these ads, will presume that these testimonials are just that: satisfied clients who are so [...]
