Lucinda and David Bassett flood late night infomercial TV with their overpriced Attacking Anxiety and Depression schlock program. They advertise a '30-day risk free trial' for just $9.95, the so called 'shipping/Handling charge' (inflated as any typical infomercial ripoff), the hook being that the S/H charge is all you pay for the 30 day 'trial period'.Then when you aren't magically cured by this collection of cassette tape in 30 days, send it back with no obligation to pay the $75.00 a month that they bill your credit card for the next 6-7 months. Do not believe this CRAP for a minute. They start ripping you off immediately with the inflated shipping charge and then start removing your money 30 days from the ORDER DATE which typically is 10-14 days BEFORE the 30 day trial period STARTS. By the time the '30 day trial' is over they have already taken the first FULL payment of $75.00 (+ tax) by 2 WEEKS, even when you decide you don't want to buy this craprogram. One of Lucy's top-secret cures is to 'Drink 8 glasses of water everyday' and 'quit smoking and drinking' DUH! Gee for such wisdom it only costs 450 bucks! If these amateur Pyschobees had a grain of credibility would they operate so Don Lapre-like? It will take weeks to get your refund (if ever) A wiser approach would be to work for the bAssett's. Then you can buy the 'program' for $20 and save yourself $425 just 90% off the ripoff price they charge everyone else.

I just ran into the same problem with the ridiculous Midwest Center and Lucinda Bassett's program. One night during a moment of weakness I ordered the program...I wish I had read these posts prior to falling for the "30-day free trial". Not only did they charge me $70-something prior to the 30-day expiration (because apparently the 30 days starts when you order it, which they don't tell you), I was informed by the "supervisor" that had I read my invoice I would know that after the 30 days I agreed to the monthly payments totalling almost $500! I informed them I refused to make any future payments and the woman told me it's up to me what I do with my money! Well, apparently not! She said it would go into collection so I'm about to report them to my bank as fraudulent and hopefully not only get my money back but block and future charges they try to make.

Awesome to know that there are people out there taking advantage of those of us with anxiety and in return causing heightened stress! (I'm being facetious of course).

Don't fall for it!

Yeah -- someone charged their crap to my credit card back in March 0f 2009. I've been fighting with them ever since. They have now sent me to a collections agency for something I never even ordered. Even after having my bank remove their shipping fee of $16 due to fraud, they still insist I pay them $479.92 for a bunch of stupid VHS tapes, I don't even have a VCR player anymore.
