Mangosteen -- Read before you purchase

Last night a man, James appeared at our support group and
requested to address the group. He read a few letters about
mangosteen juice and the benefits of it. We were given a
couple of sips of it to try and a special offer to have
a case sent to us for free if we joiined the marketing
group for a fee of $39 I believe it was. The juice would
run $100 for a case of 4 plus their shipping charge.
This seemed like a great thing. In fact one of the woman
from our group has used it & had great things to say regarding
it.
I started researching it today prior to purchasing any of it.
I found many sites with the same looking web site & even EBay
had the same bottle and information. I also had a site that said
why pay the high price for juice. Go to:http://chetday.com/mangosteen.htm
I hope you read what he had to say.

I spoke to James who said he will arrange for me to speak to
someone who has had good results from this. I am now on a wait & see.
