I received my Visa statement today and there is a charge for $44.85. I did NOT order this and I will not pay it. I was to be charged only for the shipping cost of $4.95 for a FREE sample of Acaipure. Today is 12/4/08 at 3:55 pm.
I have tried to call and am on HOLD for over an hour. This charge will not be accepted. What kind of scam are you into? I want a credit to my Visa and a confirmation of that credit by mail and I will not wait--I want that credit to my account now and the confirmation now. I simply will not put up with this.

as all above complaintes, I ordered a free trial sample only, and agreed to pay shipping charges only, $ 4.95 for acaipure, I assumed since they were using oprah's name they would be a honest & trustworthy company doing business online, such a disgrace and dishonest company, there are so many honest online companies making a legimate business living, and from this day forward. a dark shadow will be cast on all on line businesses such a sham. since this my first encounter with fraudulent company, what should I do? any advice would be appreciated
the same thing happend to me. how stupid of me to trust Oprah
The same has happened to me with AcaiPure. I was charged for the 14 day trial period and later reviewed my credit card and $39.95 was charged. I cancelled the account by phone and e-mailed the company. It took a week for their response giving me another offer to send more for $29.95 and free shipping. I'm waiting to see if they do just that. I do believe I've been scammed. Shame on Oprah for allowing them to use her name.
I too had a very similar experience: I went online thinking I was only going to be charged the 4.95 S & H, and saw on my bank statement that my account had been charged 44.95. When I called them they said I neglected to "unclick" the bubles that requested an order for the gum and the water additive. One month later, I have been charged a 39.95 fee. I called to inquire about this amount thinking maybe, I did not "unclick" a bubble that requested a monthly supply of Acaipure be sent to me. I was informed that since I kept the 1st supply, I was now being charged for that product. I anticipate no further charges to my account. I am wiser today in the area of online transactions, ALWAYS look for bubbles that require one to "unclick" as opposed to clicking the bubbles for products desired. Since the bubbles were in my view, the company technically has done nothing illegal, in my opinion unethical though. So today, I am wiser about internet transactions and regretfully, not any thinner!
I had the same problem. I never received my product and they charged my credit card! Oprah should be ashamed of herself for letting people scam us like this! Now I'm afraid their going to steal money from my card!
I just got scammed also---- ordered the free trial size only & was sent 2 other products that I din't order or even know about--- they charged my visa account for the 2 products & said I could ship them back @ my expense & pay a 15 % restocking fee ! What a scam--- I do indeed think that we should let Oprah know about this---- I now will have to file a complaint with this charge to my visa account-- what a pain--- also have called them & emailed as well- have yet to hear back from these rip- off artists.
I ordered the sample plus a $1.95 shipping fee and have been charged $41.85 for the sample, what's up with this. This was advertised to be an Opra thing and how great it was, how do I get my money back and how to I avoid any further charges?
I responded to a free trial offer of AcaiPure pay S&H only $4 and some change. . My bank acct. showed that $44 and some change was taken by the company, Central Coast Nutra for that AcaiPure Trail. When I called the company the Customer "NO" Service person informed me that the site CLEARLY states that an additional offer was attached. I totally disagree with how CLEARLY that notice is/was and I have not been able to access the original page since they stole my money. If you are reading this you probably have already been a victim. If you are researching the company prior to ordering a product "DON'T DO IT" stay away. If these people have to resort to underhanded methods of marketing, the product must be Garbage. ...
