The Amazon.com Problem

As we have posted on the blog previously, there are several "counterfeit" Ab Coaster sellers on the internet, and they are taking advantage of consumers who are looking for "cheap" products on websites such as Ebay, Amazon.com, and Craigs List.

Please be aware of these illegal goods because you will not be receiving an authentic Ab Coaster, and you will likely lose your purchase price. Read below in this Blog for more information about this problem.

Remember, the only authorized sellers on the Internet are located at www.AbCoaster.com and www.AbCoasterClub.com.

Here is another email we recently received from a customer who was ripped off at Amazon.com:

Subject: I think I was ripped off as well
I thought I was buying a new ab coaster pro on Amazon.com ... I never even knew about knock-offs until I went to your site to try and troubleshoot the non-working electronic repetition counter, and why there are no pegs for added resistance., .. and read your blog! Now I feel stupid for falling victum! I was just trying to get a good deal in these hard economic times. How can you help me? I certainly do not have the $$ to go out and buy another "Pro" model..
Below is what I just sent to Amazon:

AB COASTER PRO - Houston, we have a problem... Item Listed was the Ab coaster Pro model... what I received was the standard model. The electronics do not work which count the number of repetitions... and there are no pegs on the side for adding resistance, its also a different color than the "Pro version". I believe I was sold a knock off copy of the ab coaster. This is not what was listed and not what I expected to receive. The seller does not reply to my email. I went to the AB Coaster site to troubleshoot the electronics and thats how I found out about knock-offs being sold on e-bay and or amazon. I did not know this was possible... but that would explain the plain brown box it arrived in with no "ab coaster" advertising on the side. I believe I have been ripped off. Please advise on what we can do?

Kind Regards

Jeff W


Unfortunately for Jeff and many others who have purchased counterfeit goods on the Internet, these companies will NOT do anything to help you. Ebay and Amazon allow anyone to sell products on their websites - even illegal counterfeiters!! Ebay and Amazon will not help you or reimburse you if you are ripped off or deceived.

Please do not be fooled with cheap counterfeit Ab Coasters -- visit www.AbCoaster.com for authentic Ab Coaster products.
