Advertising Review:
According to information in BBB files, the business is using fake celebrity endorsements in its advertising, specifically Kevin Costner and Phil Mickelson. BBB's Code of Advertising indicates that advertising which uses testimonials or endorsements is misleading if they are not genuine and do not represent the current opinion of the endorser (Section 30, Testimonials and Endorsements).
In May 2021, BBB contacted the business regarding its advertising of free trial periods of its products. Consumers that sign up for the free trial period are enrolled in a monthly subscription for additional products. BBB requested the business substantiate that the claims meet the standards outlined in BBB's Code of Advertising (Section 18, Negative Option Plans, Continuity Plans and Automatic Shipments). The Code maintains that "Any advertisement for a product or service that includes an offer to sell or provide consumers with additional goods or services under a negative option feature must include a clear and conspicuous disclosure of all material terms of the negative option feature." Material terms that should be clear and conspicuous include the existence of the negative option feature, the cost of the additional goods or services, how consumers can cancel and avoid future shipments and charges, and how consumers can return items that they do not want. The Code continues that "advertisers must avoid making disclosures that are vague, unnecessarily long or which contain contradictory language."
Additionally, BBB asked the company to substantiate claims made on its website about the efficacy or results of using the company's products. BBB requested the business substantiate the claims per standards outlined in BBB's Code of Advertising (Section 34, Claimed Results). Claims as to efficacy or results which will be obtained by or realized from a particular product should be based on recent and competent scientific or other objective data. Advertisers should be prepared to substantiate such claims.
As of this date, the business has not responded to BBB's request for substantiation about its advertising.

CBD OIL by Cheyenne Valley (on website) was partially filled out (October of 2021) then I closed their forms and x ed out of computer site BEFORE clicking the accept (send) button. I did not comply or finish with such a move or activity whatsoever. Then I got an e-mail (0n 10/12/2021) stating that I was to be congratulated for my subscription to "A free sample!" I immediately sent the business a message saying that "I had not subscribed."
I also asked this rogue business how that they could send something to me anyway. Later in January of 2022
I received another shipment (second bottle) of oil. I have yet to see what I am charged with or for, or if this is charged to my credit card (which apparently was taken off their internet site by keyloggers - used without my permission). I sent that bottle back (by USPS) and was sent yet another one (by USPS). A second e-mail then was sent to inform these pirates of internet data that my body is allergic to CBD oil. NO REPLY AGAIN.

I too feel scammed. Took them up on trial order. Supposedly received a terms of agreement (went to trash email) with phone #. Repeatedly RETURNED TO SENDER wh/ was termed non-valid return. Monthly pkg had no phone #. Monthly bill had 3 different companies always charging 99.82 +99.89 from 3 DIFF COMPANIES: ManseyLifestyle, AAGONLINE, Getrr Products w/ 3 diff phone #s. I must get the cake for being the most stupid. IT WENT ON FOR 11 MONTHS UNDETECTED! When the company was confronted today, I was offered a $40 refund only from Gettrr; then I was offered a 3 month refund from Mansey customer service. Was on the phone for over one hour discussing and explaining that I feel ripped off and scammed. Supervisor was no help.Told me it is all my fault. Sure sounds like a scammy operation. All told, I lost about $1100 - all because of my carelessness in checking credit card bills and this terrible company wh/ received my returns but considered it a non-valid return, ie, I didn't call them directly. ZERO STARS!!! Tried to explain that my wife is mentally impaired, we live on a fixed income, we are elderly and that this loss of funds will be very damaging to us and our lives for years to come. It seemed that everything that I said fell on deaf ears and that these customer service reps are to told to deny, deny, deny. They "got us" because of the fine print that we cannot find and that we may never have really received; I cannot retrieve it from an always deleting 'junk email' file. If it would help, I would report them to the BBB, but apparently they are not members; gee, I wonder why CHEYENNE VALLEY OIL has an "F" BBB Rating and Accreditation? Having said all of this, a Ms L****, one of the 2 customer service reps that I did speak to for close to an hour was quite gracious, showed some empathy and tried to help as much as she could. However, as soon as I was turned over to a supervisor, some of what Ms L**** had offered as a refund was taken away.Again, not nice at all
