Funginix is a scam
In case you were thinking of trying Funginix, I would suggest that you not give those scamming scammers any money. Their website looks pretty but if you read it closely at all, you can see that they sound more like snake oil salesmen than sellers of a medical product.
Their website is ridiculous. Let me count the crock of shit ways these scammers are trying to scam you:
“FUNGINIX is the most sophisticated and complete topical treatment created to fight and eliminate the fungal infections” — Umm, no. It’s some guy in a basement. “Sophisticated”? To claim that means you spent millions on developing it. And if you spent millions developing it, you wouldn’t use the word “sophisticated”.
“Only FUNGINIX has been thoroughly tested to guarantee that it kills fungus and will promote the restoration of healthy nails in a fungus-free environment” — What bullshit ad copy. There are a hundred products out there, some put out by big pharmaceutical companies. And Funginix (which is only available on some website) is the ONLY product that works? And I’ve got a bridge to sell you.
The first “testimonial” starts out “This product is ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!” First, what consumer ever uses the word “product”? Next, her mug shot is from iStockphoto.com.
I could go on. For a long time.
But let’s cover some facts. Here are the claimed ingredients from their website:
Ingredients
Active Ingredient:
Undecylenic Acid, USP 10%Other Ingredients:

The first ingredient, Undecylenic Acid, USP 10% is a common antifungal. It does not cost $40 per 1/2 ounce! All the other ingredients, meh.
Short form: scam.
I don’t have any easy answers but you might want to check out all the other (real) posts and comments on my site about my battle with nail fungus.
that is awful; I bought 15% undecylenic Acid from Target for $6! thanks for posting this!
I just got this email from julia@funginix.com. My response follows the message.
My response: Heh.
The Funginix Scam Doctors are still trying to muscle me. I received this vaguely threatening email. I did not respond.
I MADE A MISTAKE AND ORDERED FUNGAVIL THINKING IT WAS THROUGH MAYO CLINIC. THEY CHARGED ME OVER $200.00 ON MY AMAZON ACCOUNT AND NOW I CAN’T FIND THAT SITE BACK TO CANCEL – WHAT SHOULD I DO
DO NOT ORDER FROM FUNJINX, THEY ARE A SCAM. IF YOU PLACE AN ORDER THEY WILL NOT CANCEL YOUR ORDER. INSTEAD THEY WILL QUESTION YOU ON WHY YOU WANT TO CANCEL TO BETTER ASSIST YOU. NEXT EMAIL YOU WILL GET IS THAT ITS TO LATE TO CANCEL BECAUSE YOUR ORDER WAS SHIPPED OUT. EVEN IF YOU CANCELED THE DAY YOU PLACED YOUR ORDERED AND ITEM BEING SHIPPED TWO DAYS LATER. THEY KNOW YOU WONT SHIP IT BACK BECAUSE IT WILL COST MORE TO SHIP BACK THAN THE ITEM COST. GOOD LUCK DEALING WITH CUSTOMER SERVICE lilianalindsey7114@gmail.com. SHE WILL GIVE YOU THE RUN AROUND. THE ITEM LISTED WAS NOT ACCURATE AS IT DIDNT FIT LIKE THEY STATED IT WOULD. THAT WHY I CANCELED IN THR FIRST PLACE. AGAIN, COMPANY IS A SCAM.
Al, thanks for your comment. This blog post is about a different, though very similarly named company. This post is about “funginix”, a nail fungus product, not “Funjinx”. All the best to you.
