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, too, ordered the "free" sample for $3.95 S&H only. I got the sample but haven't tried yet. Then about 2-3 weeks later, I got another package in the mail with a month's supply. I don't recall the web site saying anything about signing up for auto ship. Started checking my credit card to see if I got charged. Since it was in between statements, I checked on line for "current activity" and there it was, about 10 days earlier, I was charged $89.31! I called the number to return and get credit. After holding for quite a while (and all the time looking the site up on the internet to see what I could find and saw all these other complaints!) a gentleman does come on the phone and asked if I was cancelling and I said yes, but I didn't know I had signed up for anything! He said when you got the free sample, there was a check to receive automatic shipments. I said, what? I don't recall seeing that! I'm always very careful, so it must have been some little tiny out of the way place! Anyway, he said he would cancel and I said you want me to ship these back and he said no, they had a no return/no money back policy and I was like what? So, I guess I'll have to go through my credit card to see if I can debate the charge! What a hassle, why do I every order anything like this? Anyone know anything else that can be done to people like this to get them to stop!

If you go to your bank you should be able to file a dispute on this charge. Your bank will help. You also need to cancel try to get a fax number and leave a copy at your bank. I have had this happen before so I am changing my entire account info. I have direct deposit so it sucks but I can't afford 91.99 to go to waste. And by the way the free 100.00 dollar sample did not work. Good luck to all. Oh yeah I called my local news and they are investigating. Would be nice to see on the news to warn people. I had a similar problem with time life. I changed my debit card and they still were able to keep deducting money from my account.

I received my bank statement today and IP NuBodi had a $89.31 amount which overdrew my account, along with a $23.50 over draft charge. Whatever I signed up for, I don't want it anymore, didn"t realize this was going to happen. I want to see a credit for $89.31 on my bank statement next week. I will be in touch with you on Monday and it better be taken care of.

The little jerk supervisor I spoke Mike, told me that they have no reimbursement policy. I told him that I never consented to the additional orders. There was a tiny slip of paper in my intial package that said that I had 15 days to contact them in order to cancel any future transactions; in that time their phone lines were down. I trie EVERY day. The little twurp was so bold as to tell me that IT WASN'T his fault that they were not working!I told him indeed it was since that was within the time constraints of cancellation! I want to look about a class action suit! Who's in?

I also wanted a free trial. Got that but then 89 dollars charge on my credit card, soon after free trial arrived ! I was shocked. Then I got package, one bottle of pills they billed me for and because of outrageous price, I did not even opened a package and sent it back. But I should have kept it instead. They do not want to give me refund, they said it is not refundable! So I wasted 89 dollars for nothing. I told them not to dare to charge me another 89 dollars ever again. I sure hope they will not dare or I will have to get a lawyer to fight them.
One can get similar pills for colon clensing at Walmart for about 7 dollars! No need to spend 89 dollars. That sure is a rip off a big time!
Even Health Direct charges only 29 dollars for Sculpt and Cleanse, good product. This Colon Cure from NuBodi is overpriced way too much. Nobody should pay that much and they they would be run out of business.

I got surprised with an $89.31 charge on my bank card for something I do not want. I agreed to pay the $3.95 for the "free" trail bottle. That one bottle of 15 is all I received and if I receive anything else I'm refusing the delivery. I've taken all of the complaints listed here to my bank and let them know what has happened. This company MUST be stopped! I'm on a fixed income and cannot afford unauthorized charges.

Supposedly some package was shipped, you never got it, and supposedly another package was shipped. All you have seen so far is the charges.

If you don't get their "shipment" in, say, 5 days, be prepared to dispute the unauthorized charges in writing thru your bank, and close your account to prevent additional charges.

In any case, if you do follow their "return policy", watch out for whether they now claim you can't return it, for whatever reason, or for if you do return it, they never get it, or never actually send a refund. They might even pile on another "shipment", with another charge.

The same thing happened to me. I paid 3.95 for shipping cost. I
never got the product until 15 days later and then the same day I got the product I had another 89.31 charge to my credit card. They said to bad. I can not get a refund. This is a BIG RIP-OFF. DO NOT EVER USE THIS COMPANY.

This is definitely a fraudulant scheme. I would like to see if their colon cleansing product works. If so, we could gather a leigon of disgruntled folks and ship the by-products of their colon cleanser to their fake corporate offices. But seriously, I have been warned about not ordering off the net. Some companies are legitimate, but I have read so many complaints about this NU-BODY to know I have been ripped a new one for 89.99

I totally agree. I ordered the trial sample of colon cure on the 10th of March. I didn't get it until the 20th, and they charged my account on the 20th. How was I to try the product. The only good thing is I lost my debit card and they cant get to my account. The skunks!

I WAS VERY UPSET WHEN I WAS CHARGED 97.31 FOR A TRIAL AND COULD NOT GET A REFUND. I CALLED THIS PAST THURSDAY AND RECEIVED A REFUND TODAY ON MY CREDIT CARD. EVERYONE SHOULD REALIZE THAT I HAD TO SEND BACK THE PRODUCT, IN ORDER TO RECEIVE THIS REFUND.

GOOOOOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE

Unauthorized charge to my debit card. I charged $3.95 on the 17th, for a free sample, this was for shipping cost. Today I noticed a charge of $89.31 which I did not authorized. Just got off the phone with the company, told them to take it off. She first said no way, after me yelling for 10 minutes she told me the charge will be took off. I will keep checking back. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY FOR ANYTHING, THEY ARE DISHONEST AS CAN BE.

My brother Ernest was an employee at Nubodi. He was educated by his supervisior Brain NOT to refund the customers. He did his job and they fired him. He threated to take legal action against the company and they fired him. His co workers called him racial slurs and made false accusations against him. Even now on here they insult him. if you call the 801 number they say its customers service to not reveal the company name. they say he has warrants in several states but he has only lived in 2 states and of that its over 2 simple speeding ticket infractions that he just paid off and they were rude to mention this online.. ernest did not harass anybody & we have the cell records to prove it. Ernest was fired for doing what the supervisior told him to do. Nubodi has several ex-cons working for them. The BBB has "forced" Nubodi to refund the customers or they will lose thier licence. just steer away from this company. Really, Its for the best. i will post thier corporate direct numbers on here needed and that way you can call them directly. Please contact me at Eric H at erno_h@yahoo.com and show them what they did was wrong.

I am very upset! I agreed to the 3.95 for the trial offer. I did not authorize the 89.31 they took out last month and are about to take out again this month! Should I contact my bank and tell them to cancel this? I am a single mom barely scraping by and I can't afford this!

I work for Nubodi and we are not a bad company, unfortunately the response for our products were much larger that expected and at the beggining of certain campaigns we had trouble keeping up with demand. Please, if there is a problem and you can't get through to us by telephone...e-mail us at customerservice@nubodi.com and we will take care of you right away. That e-mail is checked daily. We want all of our customers to be happy and we will help any way that we can.

We have over 200, 000 satisfied customers but it is sad that there is a small part of our customers that had a bad experience. Again, to that small group of customers we will help in anyway we can. Ernest used to be an employee here, he placed the above complaint. He was fired when he was not treating our customers with respect. Now he complaining to the exact people that he used to be mean to. He was told to give a refund to a customer and instead he argued with them. We have all of this recorded for quality control purposes. For that he was let go. He has made numerous treats to our call center manager and has several warrants in several states. He is a very angry person because he was let go. Please...if there is a problem contact us and we will be so happy to make sure that every one of our customers get satisfaction.

Thank you...

Nubodi is definitely a scam. I called and cancelled my order and they are still shipping out them to me. They do not let you return the item therefor I am being ripped off. I don't know how to stop this. In the conditions they say if you are allowed to cancel, but they don't let you.

I havent had a single problem with this company, I was able to get through within no time at all and spoke with a nice young man who informed me of everything that was going to happen if I didn't call to cancel. Which I did before my trial was over! the pills worked just fine for me but I did not need them anymore but I will order more later on down the road!

I am a 64 year old and I had no problem understanding any of this. I was able to find the terms and conditions as well on my own on their website!

I agree with all of the above. I tried calling the company to get an answer to why I have this charge. They kept me on hold for over 2o minutes and no one ever responded or took my call. In my opinion, this company is an outright scam! I' m noe trying to deal with this issue through my credit card company.

I was luck enough to get a refund! Only because I read the complaint boards and found Wendy Philly from Las Vegas. If there is anything we can do to help please let me know. I know alot of people are losing their hard earned money on a product that doesn't even work and not knowing to click on the terms. I was one of them people, luckily I did recieve a refund. God Bless and Good Luck Ernest!

I ordered the free trial almost 2 weeks ago and have still not received it. I was charged the $3.95 but did not get the product. I did have someone call me to confirm my order but I still did not get it. I have also tried to call and cancel but cannot get through. Should I cancel my debit card or just stop payment for 6 months?

I was also billed $89.31 for this product that I did not authorize. I only authorized $3.95 for the trial offer. Luckily my bank has stopped payment but I have not tried to call apparently it won't do any good. I will call an attorney if I need to. They definitely need to be stopped. Good luck to everyone.

I purchased the $3.95 one time order and have been charged $89.71 on my debit card for about 10 months. I have called and got nowhere,and I have sent the package unopened with Return To Sender and that did no good, and now I have went to my bank and they are going to stop my debit card and issue a new one. I am very upset and have tried to reach them but to no avail. Please let me know if you get any resolution as I am out almost $800.00 dollars.

I too was suckered into this agreement. I called to get a refund and they said i went past my trial date, i in turn said i thought it was from the day you get product to try ( that is a trial right) so i told them i wanted to speak to manager and then she said she would email corperate and ask for me a refund. They are supposed to email me with the decesion. If everyone that has been ripped off calls and really complains maybe we will get our money back, i need that money i am disabled and only get one check a month i did not count on them taking more money without my permission. Thanks for letting me vent i hate being ripped off

I am very disappointed with this comnpany, Nubodi aka Colon Cure. They were suppose to be diet pills that I ordered online for $3.95, but they are charging me montly $89.31. Complete scam, and they do not even work on top of that. My bank is trying to protect my account, and I have reported them to the fraud department. Wendy
