i clecked on an internet offer for the Acai bery blast for a fre trial with a 99 cent shipping charge to my credit card. Once i supplied my cc infor for SHIPPING charges only i swa that the product was 82.91 after fifteen days and my card would be charged, I realized immediately that this was a bogus scam so i called IMMEDIATELY within 3 mins of clicking on the order 800-225-1375 and spoke to someone who said not to worry my card was charged only 99 cents, and just send the product back when i recieved it, as i know calls are recorded I EMPHATICALLY stated I am cancelling this order now and did not want the product and that my crd was not to be charged at all i was told this would not happen.


a few days later I recieved  a call from someone congratulating me on placing and order and being entered to win a trip to cancun...i told that person i was not enrolled or did not place an order it was cancelled immediately and to update thier records.


yesterday the berry blast pills arrived in my mailbox and 1.00, 1.25 and 82.91 was charged to my credit card sending it over my credit limit.


 


I called the bogus customer service number 866-949 0139 and of course no joy there as the bastards do not answer and stick u in a holding loop for hour


I understand their disclaimer says cancel within 15 days and not be charged but i cancelled within 3 MINUTES!!!


I am sure these jerks have no intention fo refunding me so i will cancel my credit card and report them

[21/08/2009] daffodil: I too have been scammed by this company - but hopefully I caught it in time. I ordered some Acai Berry - shipping charge was supposed to be $.99 - at end of order it said $3.95. I too tried several times to contact them at the number given but to no avail. I finally found this morning a place to chat as you did. After several chats - things were not sounding good. I finally told them I wanted to cancel my account and I was reporting them to the state attorney general's office. I then called my credit card company - there was 2 pending charges - one for $2.00 and one for $1.95 + $3.95... I told my credit card company what had happened and she immediately took care of it. She closed my account and issued new card under another account number. She said to call back in 2 or 3 days and dispute the $3.95 charge and they would take care of it. Since it is in pending and not paid yet - there was nothing they could do.
I'm not worried about the $3.95 - I keep reading horror stories about this and I do not want to have additional charges. As of today - they will not be able to make additional charges.
