After ordering a $17 report to download to my computer, and carefully responding no to a variety of other requests that popped up, I was surprised to discover I was charged over $250.00. I was charged for a VIP upgrade, a printed report (again, something I made efforts to select NO to when asked if I would like to receive it) and a number of herbs sent to me by a third party.

After speaking to two very nice customer service representatives and writing a complaint directly to the company, I have not received a refund or response.

I am planning on submitting a formal complaint to the FTC if anyone cares to join. I also will be filing suit in small claims court if my refund is not received over the next several days.

Marina,

Your credit card has been fully refunded.

The reason you were charged for over $250 was due to a programming glitch with our shopping cart that happened in August. That problem was fixed shortly after you ordered, and I apologize for any inconvenience.

We also sent you an email notification of your refund, but you must not of received our email in your inbox due to an overly sensitive spam filter.

Thank you,
Joe Barton, CEO
Barton Publishing Inc.

I had the same experience. I purchased an e-book on hypertension. The cost came out more than expected, but I assumed it was a fault on my side. However a c/card deduction was made from my account without authorisation which I was able to trace back to Barton publishing. I believe no amount of excuses or apparent reddressing of this matter will stop Barton from continuing with misleading representation of his services/products. I am posting this e-mail from South Africa and besides this site, have found others referring to similar complaints about Barton. Unless this type of sales promotions is stopped more unweary individuals will fall prey to it. The whole cyber-arena will become an arena of suspicion and mistrust.

Hi,
I purchaed a book for $17 from Barton publishing (Gout download PDF). They charged me $34 in my credit card. Right after that I was charged for 3 different charges from WELWATCHMD NJ and WELLNESSMD NJ.
I think there is a link between Barton publishing and WELWATCHED/WELLNESSMD NJ and my credit card information are passed to them.
I have canceled my credit card and would like to file a complaint.
If someone knows how I can file the complaint, please let me know.
Thanks.

This whole Joe Barton/wellnesswathersmd is a SCAM! They are trying to charge me for the same crap. The BARTON thing should be serverly punished, and wellnesswatchers is also trying to scam my credit card as I write..
