It appears not many people, including myself really read the terms that clearly state that by ordering the free trial, you are authorizing them to bill you monthly 79.76 for a 60 day supply that will be auto shipped monthly, unless you cancel.

Cut and paste the links below and enter your email address; a pop up box will come up asking you to not cancel and that they will reduce the cost to only 19.95 for a 60 day supply; you can elect to cancel, or elect the reduced price. I found that even the trial offer offers a reduced rate of only $1.00 if you elect not to order.
(You can cancel at any time during the ten day trial period by unsubscribing at our website at http://acai.performanceproductsusa.com/contact.php?cmd=unsubscribe_form with no further obligations. Limit of one trial sample per household. If, at any time thereafter, you wish to cancel the convenient home delivery plan, you may unsubscribe at our website at http://acai.performanceproductsusa.com/contact.php?cmd=unsubscribe_form with no further obligations. )

On 8/12 /08 I was notified by email of a charge on my credit card for Acai. I cancelled the auto ship by email the day I received the Acai. On 8/22/08 I received conformation of my cancellation and was offered a price of $19.95 for the Acai, which I did not accept. On 8/23/08 my credit card was charged $74.76. I again tried to cancel and was told I had already cancelled. On 9/2/08 I received a bottle of PureColon1000, which is from the same company and I did not order. Terms and conditions state no refunds on packages marked "Return to Sender". All packages are received without invoices and no contact information except for a PO Box number. Calls to the customer service number are answered by an auto attendant that refers you to a web site "www.gohelpnow.com " and then disconnects. The web site does not give any information for the company "GW Performance Life" or BD Performance Product", which is the charges on my credit card.

I too, ordered the sample of Acai. Three days after receiving the sample, my bank acct was debited $74.76. I was barely given the chance to evaluate the product before a full sized bottle was sent. I called to cancel immediately. I returned the unopened pkg by priority mail and it arrived to them on Aug 30. Well within the time frame allowed for a refund. I have not received the $74.76 returned to my bank acct. Now I have a $5.87 charge for what I have no idea. I will however, know very shortly as I have a friend that is a consumer advocate, and feel that I am being forced to contact him.

i ordered the free bottle of pills for $4.87 and didn't see anything about a 10 trail and my account was billed $74.97 on aug. 23, before i even received the pills. i called my bank but the money was already taken out of my account on 8/23 and no one answered at customer service at this company because it was the week-end. i reached customer service on monday 8/25. was told to return the pills when they arrive tape an enevelope to back of package with the number 1626171AB on it and return the package. that my account would be refunded the $74.97 as long as it was received by 9/11. i returned the order the same day i received it, which was 8/30/08.as instructed still waiting for refund.please advise when it will credited back to my account. who knows maybe i would have ordered the pills if i was given a chance to test them before i was billed for a product that i hadn't even received. i don't think this is anyway to do business.because we all tell our friends and they tell their friends when we recieve good service. this is also the case when you are scammed. i will NEVER order a free trail of ANYTHING again, because i guess the saying is true you get what you pay for. i just want my money returned to my bank account.

I have tried to cancel this order 2 times. I still received the order and the charge was applied to my credit card. I want this shipment stopped. The monthly amount is far more than I am able to spend on the product. I called also and was told that there was a 45 minute waiting time. How can I make sure that I do not receive anymore shipments??? I might have liked the product, but I do not like the cost or the charge to my credit card. Please help me dicontinue this offer.

I have been billed for their product that i did not order
74 days ago by Juliet Hubbs [send email]
I just want to cancel this darn thing! I will never buy another thing on the internet again. This is totally a fraud! Even if they had a product that really was any good this would totally remove their credibility. Too bad life has gotten so bad you have to watch every little thing you do.
74 days ago by Denise [send email]
Although I agree that terms are listed, the fraudulent part is not recieving any company information after ordering. You do not get an email to confirm you order, nor is any contact informtion sent with your order. Not to mention the continual charges!!

I ordered a sample of ACAI product for $1.87 which arrived with no informaion on how to cancel, and I recieved no email to my account when sample order was placed. A week later, a $74.76 charged showed on my account for new product being shipped. Had to wait to recieved the new product, recieved return instructions and sent the product back immediately. The product was recieved on 9/12/08. Today, 9/19/08, I have not recieved my refund, but and a new charge of $5.87 shows up on my account! The companys voicemail is full, no one is answering the phone, and the website they send you to doesn't exist.
74 days ago by Denise [send email]
just re-read the terms, and it mentions that you also have to cancel they're newsletter!! That is the 5.87 charge that you are billed. But the wording is as follows:

"You are also enrolling in our monthly online Newsletter and we will bill your credit card five dollars and eighty seven cents per month for the subscription."

Which is conviently stated long past the return explanation for the product, and the dollar amount is spelled out, so that it is not easily noticed.

For a company that is so "above board" and "honest", they go to great lengths to hide costs, and hinder your return with no information emailed to you about your purchase, or included in the package when it arrives.

This is worth reporting to the Better Business Bureau
