This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

This is one the most ridiculous things I have came across in my life!-These people ought to be arrested and charged for these fraudulent things they are doing. They are ripping off people. They advertised free trial-just pay shipping and handling which was suppose to be a mere $3.95 instead they charge my credit card for over $89.00. This is insane-I have not even recieved the product for which they were advertising. I was charged for something I have not even recieved also. This is insane I tell you-I am so ENRAGED by this its unbelievable. They even advertise their website is secure for using your crdit card-secure I bet for tking/charging your account for whatever they feel like. If I ever find these people I'll be taking them to court-I'm not giving up on this one so easily. I had to close off my credit card because of them and have fraud detection go through my entire credit history because of this. This is ILLEGAL and UNETHICAL...

I just got off the phone with this rip off company myself. I also got sucked in to the "free" trial for just the cost of shipping. Next thing I know I am being charged $89 and if I didn't call to cancel, I would have been charged $89 again. What is the exact name of that company, does anyone know? If I can find that out, I am going to file a complain with the Better Business Bureau.

That ticks me off so much and I yelled at the customer service rep on the phone saying I bet that they get a lot of complaints like this but she claims there is nothing she can do. I guess we'll see.

I fell for this, and live in England. I have tried to ring but, after waiting for 20 minutes each time on hold, the cost is prohibitive. It is a fortune because it is a premium rate number. I have been to www.gohelpnow.com, but the product for sale on the English website is called Acai Berry Power 500 and is not listed in the list of products you can cancel and a message comes upsaying that they do not recognise my email address. I then emailed a message, detailing my order number and the product, requesting that they cancel. So far all I have received is an automated response saying that my email has been received, and that they value my comments and thoughts. If they do they'll cancel the order. I do notice, however, that the company address I have is Florida, not Utah. It is the same company because the phone number I have is also [protected].

I ordered a trial size of Acaia vitamins which was supposed to be free and I was to pay the shipping costs which I put on my credit card. (really stupid)
When the envelope came in the mail, there was a small piece of paper enclosed about 4 inches by 6 inches and in small print I read that if I didn't cancel by a certain date, my credit charge card would be charged an $89. fee for more vitamins, and would continue on monthly. The phone number has a constant busy signal so I couldn't cancel.
What recourse do I have. I'm terribly frustrated. I too am on Social Security and have a part time job and cannot afford $89 for vitamins. I'm now concerned about the integrity of the vitamins. However, I'm not even going to take one. Thanks for listening. Liz

I was pulled into the same SCAM! I was sent an email that redirected me and nowhere in my trial offer did they say they would be sending more. You really don't even get a chance to talk with a human unless you stay on the phone for an hour or more. I also have a dispute with my card company to try to get this refunded. If you look up "Nubodi complaints" in your google search you will find a multitude of complaints for this company. Please report to BBB like I did and hopefully we'll get them shut down.

I never ordered, never recieved anything, but they sure did take money out of my account. I also got my debit card cut up and charged overdrafts f0r all 3 transactions. $3.95, $89.31, $89.31 plus$ 30.00 for all 3 that's $90.00 dollars. I have tried to contact everyone I can think of! My bank seems like they could care less! I live on SSD and it's a very small amount of money, this really hurt me alot! I hope somebody stops them once and for all. They should be made to pay back all they have taken from us, as well as the over drafts!

I had problems with this company to order trial bottles and they were sent to me 18 days after order was placed. But they stand behind their 14 day trial period weather or not you receive the product to try it before the 14 days is up. So what I did I filed a complaint with the BBB of Florida and they are in the process of getting me my refund of 89.31

The same thing happened to me; the phone number to call is [protected]. I spoke to an individual named Matt, who gave me my cancellation number. We will see what happens from here.

I was a LUCKY one...I called within the 14 day period in order to tell them NOT to send any furhter product...however, their [protected] number is bogus! I cancelled my credit card IMMEDIATELY so the sorry SOBs only got $3.95 S&H! Thank God! I have called the Florida policed department who said they are sending a unit to the location and will return my call...my order came from FULLFILLMENT 4650 SW ST, Ste 711 Davie, Fl 33314. The bottle says "Colon Cure" Be careful because they also claim to sell Online Health products, Green Tea, Colon Aid, Green Tea 1000 and Green Tea Pill Power. I hope they serve a hot eternity in HELL!

After reading the comments posted here I contacted the company to cancel my recently placed order for trial product. True I was on hold for a while, but the customer service representative was polite and immediately canceled my order, providing a cancellation confirmation number. I sent a follow-up email to the customer service email address mentioned in other posts here. I will wait to see if any charges appear on my credit card statement and advise this forum.

I just read the complaints board and wish I had read it sooner. I have experienced all of the same things everyone else has. I am out $178.62 and I have none of their product. I only tried the sample and did not see any results. As someone else stated, I didn't even have time to respond, before they had sent me a new shipment. I refused the package and the post office sent it back. I received another shipment on June 21st and I opened it before I realized it was from NUBODI. Had I known it was from them I would have refusef this package also. However, I called my bank and found out they had already billed my account for both shipments. I am in the process of shipping the product back to them, but I am now afraid that they may get the product and still not refund my money. I have tried all day to call, but as everyone else has said, I could not get through either. My bank is working with me to try and help me get my money back. Wish me luck, but most of all say a prayer for me, that always works better than luck. Also we need to pray for these people that they see how wrong they are..

I too was the unfortuneate victim of another scam by this company. I was charged the $3.95 for the shipping only, then the trial sample, and then the $89.31 but no month's supply of the actual product. I still have the 1 bottle of the trial sample but no 1 mth's supply. I have called 2 x's now and they assure me it will come in 7-10 business days but nothing so far. I feel another phone call coming on! It's a shame when we live in country where the average person who wants to better their own
existence by becoming more healthy, and thereby more productive, can't depend on the country they pay taxes in to help filter out all the rip off companies that are allowed to do these things to the small person.

I have the same exact issues...I received an additional shipment from them, refused to accept it and sent it back. I have disputed the charge with my credit card but the credit card company is waiting for the credit to come back from Nubodi. I have been on hold several times and no one answers...I am fed up!

I live in Florida less than 10 miles from where the headquarters are supposed to be. They scammed me too, never shipped the product then billed me 14 NOT 15 days later ON A SUNDAY 5/25 as in the DAY BEFORE MEMORIAL DAY ON A THREE DAY WEEKEND!
But, I have Bank Atlantic open & DAYS, to see in the morning and the Broward Sheriff's office. COMPLAINT FRAUD. Then a police cruiser will go by and check their address.
One GREAT THING ABOUT BROWARD COUNTY.
They sent THE LAST BROWARD SHERIFF TO JAIL ON CORRUPTION CHARGES.
We don't put up with this crap in Florida!

I ordered a trial bottle of colon cure from this company in April, I got the product and they charged me $3.98. Today, i checked my bank account and there is an extra charge for $89.31! What the hell?!?! I called them and they told me that I agreed to their terms, that I agreed to pay $89.31 if I didn't cancel with in 15 days of recieving the trial... They said I agreed to that on the website that it is in really big print, bigger than anything else on the page. I think I would have caught that if that were true! THEN, I come here and read that all you people have had the same problems... I can not afford to pay that much for something that I do not want! Enough to piss a person off!

OK "CUSTOMER SERVICE TEAM LEADER" YOUR SO CONFIDENT WITH THIS NUBODI COMPANY WHY NOT SIGN OFF WITH YOUR NAME! YOUR COMPANY IS A FRAUD REGARDLESS OF ALL THE LEGAL REQUIREMENTS. YOU ADMITTED THAT THIS COMPANY WAS SET UP TO STEAL FROM YOUR CUSTOMERS BY STATING THAT NO TERMS OR POLICIES WERE POSTED TO BEGIN WITH. THE BBB HAD TO ADDRESS THAT FACT TO YOU AFTER NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS WERE FILED ABOUT THE COMPANY.

I myself have just been scammed. I just reviewed my bank statement online and found a $89.31 charge on HOLD for posting. I called my bank in hopes to stop transaction before they posted and no such luck. I now have to proceed with the dispute. And the only cleanse I am getting is out of my bank account.

I ordered a free trial then was charged 89.95. They told me to send it back certified mail and they would refund my money. After a month I still have no money and they never answer the phone. This is obviously a scam!

We see the messages. Nubodi is going down. the warannts are gone & Nubodi STILL make idle threats toward hjim. I think they show by continuing to insult an ex employee just how immature they are. here are some facts!

1. fact. the operations manage was dishorably discharged from the navy.

2. fact. the company was fines heavily by the state of utah.

3. fact. the compay wont even deliver to utah due to this.

4. fact. the call center manage is being charges w/ harasment.

5. fact. even thier own employe belittles this company!

Decide for yourself.
