Avinol PM advertised free trial during which it was possible to get all money back with 100% guarantee. I canceled my trial only after a week of starting it with one more week of spare room left but despite that I was ignored for next 10 days and after they’ve answered me trial was already over and I had to pay.
just found out that the $79.95 charge is for the balance on keeping the free trial. What a rip off...Am returning the product 'Certified Mail' per instructions. Will see if I get refund. DO NOT ORDER THIS PRODUCT, ITS A SCAM!
Like most people, I failed to read the fine print as well for this so called free offer. As a result, I found out by accessing my bank account online that I had been billed. Shortly after receiving my "free" offer, I had looked on my online account to find I had two charges for the product; one of $1.95 and another for $4.66, but I also noticed the word "recurring" in the same line, so I called the company immediately to advise that I didn't want this product every month. The girl told me that I would need to keep this current trial and wait until closer to the 30 day trial was over and then call back to cancel and return the portion I had not used at my own expense. Twenty-four days BEFORE the 30 days was up is when I noticed the second charge! I was able to call the company and get them to cancel before they sent it out, but found that I would have to return my unused portion before I would get a refund on the cancelled order! Wish I had researched this corrupt company first. Will be writing the Attorney General for FL soon to report. This really messed up my checking account.
File a Claim! Those Criminals will steal money from others as long as they still operate!
I will file a claim for the Federal Trade Commissioner..
Are they scaming us using the CVS? This will land them in jail for sure! I thought it was CVS!
Those are Criminals and I just paid 35 overdraft! I didn't take a few pills from their trial and was really bad and now they say there was a fine print somewhere I still don't see it! Not enough! refunding me after I return your crap? I wanna see you behind bars Creep!
We need to make them pay for this scam! Please someone start a class action law suit!
Same as all the above: Signed on for the $4.95 free sample, just pay for shipping. They billed my CC $79.95 before I caught on. Filed a claim with the PA Attorney General and with my CC. Deceptive, Intentionally misleading, fraudulent, unethical, etc. Don't do business with them under any circumstances. Product is worthless as well, you're better off drinking a cup of green tea.
[censor] ! can get same type of product for way less, I had same exp as above, trial turns into 79.99 every month! bull crap way of doing business, wonder if the shark tank people even know anything about it? it was presented as a free trial for 4.95, now I have to send it back, to get money back as they now are charging me 79.99.
I was led to believe I was only paying for $4.95 shipping, ONLY! But I got charged $79.99 ! I called the company at : [protected] and a very arrogant woman named Carla, who told me I was to blame for THEIR deceptive advertising! All because I failed to read their sneaky fine print which was basically hidden. As the only thing I saw was: 'Pay only for the shipping for your free trail.' If I had SEEN the 18 day free trail, than get charged $80...I would NEVER done business with them! THESE PEOPLE NEED TO BE IN JAIL!
I agree. Having problem getting them to verify that they received the product back from me. So my bank is going to take the money back out of my account
Very true they should be closed down by the better business burp or some who has the right to do it. they should not be allowed to keep rippin people off like this. Signed charles rotter
I definitely feel that Avinol is taking advantage of seniors. I too tried the $4.95 trial which was pay for the shipping. I did not notice for 2 months that they were charging $79.95 per mo for a small box of pills that did not work. I was told you had a 90 day money back guarantee. When I called they said it was only a 30 day money back guarantee and they only wanted to give me half of my money back. What a con game. Vicky Hayes
My wife has had sleeping problems most of her adult life. She also was a victim and thought it was an introductory offer not realizing we had to call prior to 2 weeks. As usual the fine print was their at 75 sometimes we forget to check. We feel they are taking advantage of seniors.
I too was a victim. I should've known better that nothing is free. I swear I never saw the fine print as much as I tried to see the fine print. And the product did not work for me at all .
I am also a victim of the so-called "Free Trial" and was recently-charged $79.95, plus 4.95 Postage. I am a LOT of others who thought I give these pills a try. For me, they actually work, BUT, I was unaware of the high price of the 2nd 30-day supply.
I agree they got me for over 180.00 before I noticed the withdrawls mykel1955@live.com if you have any questions. My bank CHASE has filed a claim. They agreed to refund my money on the 1st I am not holding my breath
I caught mine today. I decided to check my bank balance and was shocked to see that I was charged $79.95. I called my bank and they cancelled my debit card and are filing a claim to try to get my money back. I'm so done with online purchases unless its from a reputable company. Seems that my decision to pay $4.95 shipping was not the smartest one. These people should be jailed! Imagine all the money they are making by fooling people into their con game.
This is ridiculous they got me today
The same thing happened to me. Except the got me two days ago but was billed twice. There are complaints with the BBB
Order free trial paying "shipping fee" but transaction alert on cell from my bank said "subscription fee"? Should have listened to the complainers they were 100% correct. Shady company still shaking in my boots could have lost $$$ I really couldn't afford 71-year-old on limited budget but suffering severe insomnia. Please people listen! still upset I gave these shady company my banking information.
This is a total rip off product. My understanding was the same as everyone else...I plan to see what can be done about their false advertising. There was nothing in the package about returning and canceling. I plan to dispute the charge on my credit card. Tell everyone that Avinol PM is a total fraud and it doesn't work!
My online security would not even let me enter the site -- that's a big warning to me that something is going on! I then looked to different areas for reviews and the highest average reviews are coming up 3 stars ... so, not so good product, plus they aren't honest in business apparently. Oh, another quick way to tell it's a hoax is that every reviewer and picture are the same ones on hundreds of other internet sell sites, skin care, wrinkle cream, diet products ... that exact same three ladies are reviewers.
I failed to read the small print so I feel ripped off. The bait was that you have a trial for $4.95, apparently for postage. Before I had a chance to test the product I am charged for the "free" trial plus for the next month's supply. I canceled my account, but am out $160 and haven't even tried it. Even if it is a good product, I don't want to do business with a company that is deceptive in its advertising.
I feel your pain the same thing happened to me I’m thinking about going to the better business bureau about this company
Fell for the same thing. Its a total rip off.
This is a dishonest company. Do not do business with them. I just had a long discussion with them about canceling any future orders. They wanted me to send back my leftover pills but wouldn't supply a shipping label. Then she said if I keep the pills would be billed $79 for something. I finally told her that she worked for a dishonest company. Finally, she said she would sever our relationship and she would send me an email to validate our agreement. I haven't seen the email yet, but wanted to post this complaint to help others avoid the same fate.
