Cancel it by saying it was a fruadulant charge. Tell your credit card company you have no idea how they got your card regardless. Since these guys are crooks it takes acting like one to get your money back. . . So be it

I find it hard to believe that you did not read this in the terms and agreement and you did not provide the url or other identifying information about the company.

Make a complaint with your credit card company and call the BBB

I have tried on many occasions to get in touch with someone from this company, I never could nor could I log on to their web site for cancellation.
A terrible experience with a rip off type scam, I'LL tell everyone never to purchase anything from this company, should put them all in jail.

This people are the devil.. I was stupid and ordered the free trial as well... Needless to say, my credit card was charged the full amount and not the 5.99.. I had to cancel my credit card and get another one issued.. I think someone should call action 9 (lol.. thats a local news complaint source in the area I live).. Not only did they rip me off but I have not even recieved my pills yet.. it has been 2 weeks.. they said 3-4 days. And yes, when you call you get no one. The first time I called they said "we apologize for your estimated wait time of 63 minutes.. HELLO.. I cant belive I was SO stupid... Im mad at myself and the people in charge of this scam.. I hope the government rips them a new one.. Somebody needs to pull jail time and maybe someone in prison will really "rip them a new one".. I'm normally not a hateful person but dang, with times like they are now, well; it brings out the worst in people when they get scammed. Im so scared now that I hate to even add my email to this complaint forum

I for 1 NEVER received my 14 day free trial and was charged the shipping fees. I tried for DAYS to contact this company to inform them that I did not receive my trial and wanted to go ahead and cancel before I was charged for a full month of something I had not tried yet. I tried 4 times to email and emails would not go thru, I tried 5 different phone numbers and could not get to anyone, there was no way for me to cancel and I do believe this company makes it virtually impossible to contact them so cancellations cannot be made and a lot of people will just stop trying. I didnt stop, I contacted my back and was going to file a claim against this company and much to my surprise, my bank had a new phone number and asked me to call them and try to settle this before filing the claim. Its funny how this company can have a web site and have inaccurate email addresses that dont accept emails, even the cancel email address didnt work. I think this is a bit more than just claming not to be perfect.
Anyway, I did call the number that my bank gave to me and here it is, [protected], now I was on hold for about 30 minutes, but I was told I would get a full refund, so Im watching my account to see when that happens. Good luck to all that ran into the same issues I did and I hope we all have learned a good financial lession.

they offered me a "FREE TRIAL" take note "FREE" and they stated that i only have to pay $1.00 for the acai pure and $4.95 for the acai slim. then after a week they charged me $79 and $89 dollars withOUT my Authorization! this is a scam! i do not want their monthly offer! I JUST WANT the "FREE TRIAL!" i called the numbers for custumer support but no one answered, i emailed them but still no response! I want to cancel my subscription for acai pure and acai slim..they charged me without my authorization!

AcaiBerrySupreme.com is in the process of ripping me off good. Ordered "30 day free trial-pay shipping cost of $5.95 only". The invoice with the bottle had no info on it. they've put a pending charge on my acct for $88.62 on the 12th day. i've tried reaching customer service from 7am-4:15pm cst. all calls but all gave a recording that the call cannot go through. except once. i was on hold for 30 min. with music playing. twice a recording saying all reps busy, will be with me asap. in exactly 30 min. i was disconnected! tried to call right back & got the same old "call cannot go through". if the charge goes through, the bank is doing some affadavit & i'm going to the attorney general

It was the same case with me too. I ordered a free trial and it was received after 20 days. Next were the surprises, Apart for the trial charge of $ 3.95 and some monthly membership charge of $ 29.95, there was also another char from 'MY VIP FIT [protected]' for $89.31. When I called these numbers, they say that I agreed the terms and conditions for monthly membership and so is the charge. but refused to refund the amount, but can cancel the membership.

Never it was mentioned and there were no terms and conditions which I signed.
The below all are linked to each other and charge the debit or credit card without proper authorizations and notification.

IF YOU PAY ATTENTION TO THE SMALL WRITING YOU WOULD KNOW THAT AFTER 14 DAYS (1ST DAY STARTS THE DAY YOU PURCHASE IT, NOT RECEIVE IT) YOU WOULD KNOW THAT YOU CREDIT CARD WOULD BE CHARGED.

GREAT PRODUCT, WAY OVER PRICED! QUICK NOTE: PAY ATTENTION TO THE SMALL WRITING.

I too ordered this product and did read the small print that I had to call to cancel. It took me 5 phones calls waiting approximately 10 minutes each to finally get a person on the other line. She did finally give me a cancelation number. Look under terms and privacy section for the numbers to call.. Extremely frustrating. Even if the product does work, I will never do this again. Live and learn

Because it sounded good and since Opra & other big names endorsed Acai Berry, I signed up for a "free" trial offer on-line. Now I am being ripped off a couple hundred dollars every 15 days! I have called my credit card company and filed a dispute. I have been trying to cancel this order for almost two months now. These people cannot be reached! I put the phone on redial every 30 - 45 min. all day long one day and all you get is a recording saying the call can't be placed and to call back later. You keep calling and finally get a recording saying they are closed and to call back during business hours. Also, you can't send it back for a refund without an authorization number and guess what? You can't reach them to get the return authorization number! They have no e-mail address you can contact either.
I searched the web and found several complaints about this rip-off business.
I urge everyone who has a complaint to please contact the Better Business Bureau of Central FL. These people need to be closed down!
The business I ordered through was: Miscellaneous Food Stores/Speciality & Convenience Store Don't waste your time or money on this. THEY CANNOT BE CONTACTED

I too have just been scammed. $1.00 free trial has turned into a $89.95 charge to my account! It posted on a Sunday, today, and I have a feeling tomorrow when I call the number it will be the same as the responses above!

I also sent for the free trial size and shortly after ward received a full bottle of the product, which I did not order. However upon returning to the website and re reading the policy/ terms and agreement statements realized I had skipped over the part where after a certain length of time if you don't call the phone number they provide to you, you will be automaticaly send out the product and bill your credit card thinking you totally agreed with their terms. So I learned from now on to fully read the agreements they tell you to read!

I also ordered this Acai Berry pill and a week later I was charged $79.95. There was no contact numbers and my bank was only able to give me this web-site address. I can't believe how fast you can get scammed.

I was also scammed! I was charged for my S & H right away but after almost two weeks, I still had not received it. How can I have a trial period when the sample does not come before the trial periods ends?! It is when I went back to the site to see who I could contact about this, that I read the terms and tried calling customer service. They were closed, so they said, and listed their hours as 8 am to 8 pm MST M-F. When I called the next morning at 8:30 am MST, it said that due to high call volume they had extended their hours from 6 am to 9 pm MST and now had hours on Saturday. I was on hold for a good twenty minutes before someone picked up and I told them I wanted to cancel immediately. She told me that I would still be receiving my sample and gave me a confirmation code for my cancellation. Make sure you get this code and be aware that you might need to wait on hold for 20-30 mins. They, of course, want you to hang up and tell you to call between 6 and 9 at night, but I know I called around this time the night before and they said they were closed. Beware of their scam because they will charge you before anything arrives!

I dont know how companies get away this!

Angelique, sorry but if you didn't cancel your credit source for this product you need to do it. They will keep charging much more then what the product is worth. Talk with your bank, dispute the charge, cancel the source.

Ginette do you work for this company? Do you just go out and look for sites where you can make people feel worse then they already do for making a mistake? The sites have print that says you can cancel after 10 days, when the product arrives just before they charge or the day before you recieve the product you don't have a chance to cancel. Thanks for all your help, I'm sure you helped alot of people that have been screwed by the company you work for. GOOD JOB!

I ordered the Acai Berry free trial as well. I received the free trial like a month later and could not take it becuase I found out I was pregnant so I threw it in the trash. I would say within another 2 months I received a charge on my debit card in the amount of $89.31. I called the 800 # same as listed above and they claim they will refund the money back onto my debit card within 14 business days but if they dont I'm just going to dispute the charges with my bank and file a BBB complaint. Its a fine print scam. They told me that when you sign up for the free trial you have 15 days to cancel otherwise it gets charged to the card used to cover the shipping for the "FREE SAMPLE"! I was on edge I told the I only recieved the sample and it was never disclosed to me that I would be charged this outstanding amount. I also explained that I am pregnant and cant take that crap anyway so I want my money back! DONT SIGN UP FOR THIS UNLESS YOUR'RE WILLING TO PAY BECAUSE ITS NOT FREE! They send u a sample and charge you an outrageous amt for a regular size bottle of Acai Berry which you will never receive.

I was also scam from this Acai berry hype. Just like the complaint above, I accepted the same 14 day trial for 5.95 shipping cost only! but the website never mention what happen after the 15 day trial. As soon i made the purchase i got call from the rep to verify my purchase and address. after taking to the rep she told me after 15 day trial the pills are $88 plus.. Well 15 days later they charge my credit card account for $250 so i tried calling the 1-888 number on the bottle but only getting the operator telling me that this number no longer in service! Good thing i bank with bofa and got my money back.
PEOPLE PLEASE BECAREFULL!
