Force Factor review: Free trial scam 41

Subterfuge is dishonest. Period. If they had confidence in what they produce they wouldn't need to hide behind cheap little tricks. Expose them on all forms of social media. Run them outta town.

I ordered a trail size of this product for $4.99, now a month later I have a charge on my debit card for 84.95 that I did not authorize. The product is not worth the money and is a scam. I see that I am not the only one. I will be going to facebook to tell people that this is a scam.

Got me too I called right away and they said it was shipped they lied still have not received it, see if you qualify for our free sample I would not tell anyone I worked for force factor complete ripoffs reps are complete liars do not buy any of their products

I have been trying to contact this company since I received the free trial, without luck left a message and was told someone would ring back . Checked my credit card they had money taken out. How do this company get away with fraud.

Charge credit card 74. 98 this company had no wright or premission to take money out of my account

When I ordered mine they were claiming to include a $100 rebate coupon with the trial. I didn't receive a coupon with my trial and they gave me a number to a rebate coupon company who would "sort it out". The rep for the rebate company said they've never done business with Force Factor and asked for my information to add to the list of names of the people who were scammed that way. Apparently they're pursuing a harassment lawsuit against Force Factor for giving out their number and saying they would give people coupons. So hopefully they'll get what's coming to them, the rebate coupon crap shows that they are 100% scamming people so enjoy prison guys, I cancelled my subscription and told my bank to treat any charges from them as fraudulent so if they pull that unauthorized charge crap with me they're gunna end up in court. I also filed an ICC report and i suggest you all do the same.

forcefactor is a total credit card scam, i am so mad i could spit-i never agreed to anything other than an initial trial offer. aany claim by their company that i missed any fine print is total bogus, i spend 18 hours a day on a computer reading fine print and i didn't miss anything. i hope to god that this is actual internet and credit card fraud and there is some way these pirates can be prosecuted.

Force Factor's Free trial scam is so very obvious. Let me explain. First the tool of a Scam is to make the honest person appear to be at fault in the matter. This is typically done by making them to appear negligent. And I've actually seen statements by persons claiming to be actual representatives of FORCE FACTOR. Referring to buyers as "Stupid" or "Dumb" because they didn't read all of their cleverly crafted fine print.

I ask you what honest business sells you a product without you actually authorizing the sale ? They FORCE FACTOR secure your credit card. They do this by giving you a FREE TRAIL OFFER but you must pay for the shipping with a credit card. They then use your credit card to buy an item that you never authorize. And lo and behold...the product is their own. And suprise ...surprise they mail you an item you never wanted. Then after you receive it. They claim its all "your" fault because you didn't read their three or four page add. Yet the print is in a large box right next to your credit card info (so, guess what "sucker" its all you fault, so shut up". Well ...let's put it this way. If the business was honest. They would give you a free trial offer. Then you would decide and say "Hey, this is a great product". I would love to buy some more. No, that's not how FORCE FACTOR does it, they just set up a difficult to understand add slanted at manipulating the buyer to overlook a fraudulent sale. In which they take your credit card information and buy you a helping of their product and ship it right to you. Horrible. Scams like this happen every day. They are taken into court rooms every day and thieves like Force Factor are publically humiliated into being shown for what they are --- "crooks"...

I received the same un-authorized charge. I will file a BBB complaint & reverse charges

Hello Mondo,

Sincerely,
Force Factor Customer Support

I too didn't see the "super small fine print" till i went looking for it, into the site and found it at the bottom of the many pages you have to go through to get the "free" sample.
Nowhere near "free" (that is mentioned over and over) is there a "this is a subscription".
I'm going to file this with the FTC often until i get my refund.

We are so sorry if there has been any confusion! For questions or concerns, please call our customer service department at [protected] and we will sort out any issues immediately!

Thank You,

123321...is a TROLL on the COMPLAINT BOARD. His problem started when is overweight wife...took a free trial of Proactive and got scammed. Her fat [censor] was loaded with zits...and lo and behold proactive didn't do any good. So, 123321 is TROLLING Forever ! lmfao...!

Maybe you should wipe the JIZZ OFF OF YOUR WIF'ES ZIT FILLED [censor] !...Proactive doesn't work with the Jizz on it (didn't you read the fine print)...you haven't proven anything. Except that you're a TROLL on the Complaint's board...who's always making stupid statements. I'm on here to toy with a dope...and you're the DOPE !LMFAO...! ...FORCE FACTOR IS A TOTAL AND COMPLETE SCAM...LOL...! ...you should wipe the JIZZ OFF OF YOUR OWN FACE ...WHEN YOU WERE JERKING OFF...YOU SHOT A LOAD IN YOUR OWN MOUTH and got half of it in your eye ! LOL !

DOUBLE LMAO...just because your wife's PIMPLES were never cured by PROACTIVE...the only product you can name out of the 10, 000 or so that (you say) also have FREE OFFER SCAMS like FORCE FACTOR. You TROLL the complaints board. Acting as the unofficial nutcase activist in favor of every scammer. Look at the good part. If your wife isn't a slut...which she probably is. Nobody else will ever know she has zits on her [censor]

123321...he has all of these tired lines. That have been used a zillion and twenty times. He needs some new material. Tired lines like "in order to fight someone you need competition"...how many times have we heard that one on the internet about 900 zillion ? How about YOU'RE A [censor] (I mean how many times is the word [censor] used...in a 24 hour day)...I mean we're talking off the boards, HERE !. He's just a trite, rehashed, garbage mouthed, self centered, uneducated, Judge Judy'ed, monkey familied, husband of a pimple assed...proactive buying GEEK !

123321...also known as the "complaint buster"...who tries to come on the Complaints board to attack persons who have authentic complaints. He does this because he has an inferiority complex and must feed it by attacking people who feel the urge to honestly complain, can not quell my zeal. FORCE FACTOR IS A SCAM...THEIR FREE TRIAL OFFER IS A SCAM. And don't allow them to tell you otherwise. Complain ! And demand a refund if they use your credit card without authorization.

FORCE FACTOR IS A SCAM...DON'T BUY IT, DON'T USE IT. ALSO DON'T ENLIST THEIR "FREE TRIAL OFFER"...Its a scam !

123321...maybe you should show all of these entries to your esteemed FAMILY...that you provide for. Show them how you spend your free time. I'm sure their opinion of you would grow by leaps and bounds. I can hear your children now. "My dad spends all is free time on the COMPLAINTS BOARD"...acting like a nerd and putting on his "Judge Judy" robe to pass judgement on all the complaints...isn't he IMPORTANT ! If your children saw all your DUMB posts...they'd realize you're DOPE !

DON'T USE FORCE FACTOR'S FREE TRIAL OFFER...ITS A SCAM...! ...123321 can try it. Since he spends all of his free time defending it. And attacking anyone who has an education. He has an inferiority complex because his wife is giving him an [censor] ache...becase the Proactive didn't work and she has a bumps on her butt.

ALSO FORCE FACTOR IS A SCAM...anybody who buys that junk will realize they've been ripped off...EVEN 123321 KNOWS THEY ARE A SCAMMERS...and he works for FORCE FACTOR...he should try boiling some of the pills and smearing them on his wife's [censor]...to clear up her acne problem. Good luck 123321...hope your wife's zits clear up.

Solution 123321 should put some force factor on his wife's [censor]..

Ok, you waited until you thought I was asleep to write a come back. Also, I'm sorry the one other company that you named off ..."the top of your head" that were scammers...Proactive. Didn't clear up the zits on your wife's [censor]. And since that was five years ago, you're still pissed off. Because you have a wife with pimples on her [censor]. And no help ! lol...try clearsil on her [censor]. Maybe that will help. Anything I can do to help. Just ask !...there are worse things. Then having a wife with a zit filled [censor]...she could have NO [censor] AT ALL...that would match her husband who has NO BALLS AT ALL lol...lol...lol...lol...! This was the post to show 123321...how smart I am...lol !

Mr. 123321...stated very clearly that these Add's which Scam the public. Are, and I'm using Mr. 123321's words, "Common nowadays". He later goes on to state there are are 1000's of companies using these types of add's. Although Mr. 123321 could only name 2. But, he was only pulling the company names "off the top of his head." But, as everyone now knows Mr. 123321 doesn't know his [censor] from his elbow. Truth is 123321 is probably sitting on his elbow now and the only thing that is on the top of his head...is a Dunce cap !

Nonetheless...FORCE FACTOR is a Scam. They tell you to take four tablets every day and lift weights like a manaic...and they guarantee you'll get stronger. A Duh !

123321 has given up the fight. He's a fake phony fraud much like. Many of those on this complaint form who claim (and its most likely true) that they are paid reps of FORCE FACTOR. The product is a total and complete fraud. Please don't try the product if you do, you will certainly learn that you've been soundly ripped off ! Only then will you be able to see who's truthful here. 123321 is most likely a rep of FORCE FACTOR. His passive aggressive tone, supports the theory that being a scam artist is in vogue...as 123321 says "NOWADAYS"...he uses the jargon NOWADAYS...this is how FREE TRIALS ARE RUN. Although I can remember receiving free products without a company basically pirating my credit card to send me their product. He must be an agent for the FORCE FACTOR. AGENT 123321

Again, in ending MR 123...I in no way feel discredited. I just want to tell as many people as I can FORCE FACTOR is a SCAM. The product does not HELP IN ANY WAY. And that anyone who buys the product will eventually learn THAT THEY WERE RIPPED OFF !

These are my points. I actually called Force Factor on the phone using the 800 number stated on the box. First I was greeted by a female voice. I stated exactly what I stated previously about forms. How forms are to be designed. I'm talking about ethically. The way most companies design them. I'm not talking about companies that are in the market to deceive. Since I have my own company. I know how a form is designed, since I graduated from Pratt Institute in 1991with a Master's degree in a field where the design of forms is common and the techniques are common. I know how to design one (ethically).

I was then transferred to a second party. A male voice. Who I stated my case to. From there I was then transferred to a third party. This person was is a supervisory position (by claim) When I told them that their form was not ethical. The party never argued. They never claimed that their form was ethical. They did nothing to argue the point. They only stated "that is why we give a refund". They offered me a 40 dollar refund. To keep the product and they would give me forty dollars. They also offered to give me a full refund upon receipt of their returned product. They also went so far as to offer me a refund if I was only to give them a tracking number for the returned product.

I have no idea if Force Factor is currently involved in any legal problems over their FREE OFFER. That I don't know. But, they never despute their offer is legal. Never. They never dispute directly that their offer is ethical. Of course they allude to the inclusion of a statement that a person receiving the free offer must contact them. Or they will receive a 75.00 product which will be billed to the buyers credit card. They say that. But, their refund policy is used to respond to any legal or ethical issues. They never debated my statements on how to create a correct form, never.

As for 123321...learn to count to 4. Hopefully before you bother the next poster. Also I after I wiped my a** with my degree. I shoved it down your mother's throat. And she liked it.

Also...Mr. 123321 (if that isn't a quicky tag, I've not seen one). I hope you win the election. I'm speaking of the election you're having on your own planet. The planet you're on that no one else lives on. You should win it. Since you're the only one living on it. And that would make you the only one voting. I also heard you're a "legend" there, also...only problem. I'd hate to see the forms you design for yourself. They problably would allow every possible 'scam"...but since there are thousands of other companies that do likewise (of which you could only name two). Oh...I forgot that was "off the top of your head". That would make it "ok" and very common in the standard of the thousands of form designs. And that is not a "hidden gotcha"...!

I told you how a form is supposed to be designed. And you should reread it. Because its the only statement on this page. Which is an absolute. Maybe you should be the one to attend a college or school of some kind. Meet with and or ask someone who designs forms and then get back to me and tell me its not so. I believe that is very simple, instead of assuming. Its very possible even someone as knowledgable as yourself could learn something. My salutations.

To call another person an "idiot" who you've never met. Is the true commentary on you. Also to tell someone their degree is better suited to "wipe their [censor] with" is another commentary on you. I'll digress. You're an angry person. Who comes on forums like this, to boast about having known, about scams and a MYRIAD of other topics you're basically ignorant of. Which as you say are "common knowledge". Continuing...you're a very small individual. Who needs to be argumentative and to use vulgar language to prove he exists on our planet. Tell it to someone else you're very transparent.

In reference to the person above who states. "Force Factor is not the first to do this". Or something to that effect. And that he wonders how people are so free to give their information. Also, then they will cry "scam". First of all. It is a SCAM !. The fact or statement that you know of five others that do the same. Doesn't make it any less of a SCAM ! So, basically you are giving credibility to the scam and the scammer (exactly what they/scammers would like people to do). Basically blaming the person who is honest in the action. Many people are not like you and don't know of "five other scams". Many people don't know this. Also credit cards are given every day, people use them to buy gasoline, and pay for near everything they buy. So, to state that people are to quick to use them, is ridiculous. Ok, we'll pat you on the back for knowing of five other scams that exist. Please, don't make a scammer less liabel because all the other guys are doing it. That's much more stupid than a person being taken advantage of by dishonest merchants. Because there are other scams that exist doesn't make dishonesty more acceptable.

Well I have to disagree with your disagreement. I have a Master Degree in designing forms. When a form is disigned. The form is the responsibility of the person who designs the form (it must be very clear and simple). When an item is stated to be FREE and states following the free, that the buyer must pay for the shipping of the product. They must also list there, along with those requirements that there are other stipulations. There must be something stated (it doesn't have to be actually stated in full but it must warn the buyer that there are other stipulations). A reference point to the added stipulation. It has to be stated along with Free Trial and required shipping fee. I've looked at this add. It absolutely is not listed there. The listing or stipulation is separated from the original statement. This is an obvious misrepresentation. Any person who designs forms will tell you that, absolutely. The company has separated the additional stipulation in an attempt to deceive or to cause a buyer to search for the additional requirement in hope that they do not notice it. If you don't believe that, that's your business but its true.

Also to use your credit card without your authorizing the use. Is wrong. That's simple business. It also causes the buyer to wonder. Is there another added stipulation somewhere in the add that I may have missed.

how do cancel something that i did buy

Contact the card issuer (visa, Matercard, Etc) immediately to dispute the charge and then file a complaint with the FTC. You can do that online at FTC.gov or by phone at 1-877-FTC-HELP.

I too order from this company, sent back the product unopened and they sent me another one after I had called them to cancel. They charged my card in Jan 2010 - I have not received my credit for both charges that I had canceled - It is MARCH. I would not mess with this company -
Thanks.
