The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.

I order, which I thought, was the FREE trial bottle for .99 cent plus shipping and handling. My account was charged, when I submitted the information, $100.97. I callce the company for a refund, since they have a 100% guarantee, and to ship the product back. The supervisor stated they have a no refund policy . Therefore I am out $100.97 and have 3 bottles of the product to be flushed down the toilet. If anything I have learned never to trust anything you read in the newspaper or anything stated by a company on line. This is a ripoff and I would advise all people to disreguard and not advertise their product... Lesson Learned.

Country of complaint: United States

Address: 7102 W. Roosevelt St.#100, Phoenix, Arizona

This is so true, and i called and talked with the customer service department and they keep repeating themselves about how there is no refund their system does not allow it. What ever. I even cancelled everything with in 15 min of ordering and they said "well you didn't cancel your subscription just your plan." Well guess what the term and conditions does not state that. So, DO NOT ORDER from here, 1st the pills don't work and then they just take your money.

I hadthe same experience with this company. I thought I was getting a free trial bottle except for shipping, but was charged $79.98 plus shipping. I am filing a complaint with the better business bureau and am calling my credit card company to dispute these charges.I am really mad at their tactics for selling their product. To anyone considering buying this product on line-DON'T.

I totally agree, I was scamed as well. The so called terms and conditions are at the bottom of the webesite, but you have to click on them to open the box and read them. Very sneaky, not clearly stated. Very costly mistake, I will never make again. If it sound to good to be true, look at it some more. Look it up on line before buying to see how others are saying about the product and customer services. I am out of $249.oo because a "trialed" the Cleanse product they recomended to go with this one, another scam with "terms and conditions" Anyway, this wont happen again!

Below is a copy of an email I sent Acai diet system. and of course nothing has been done about it.

I spoke with Jason Williams, a customer service rep. he just kept repeating over and over about the terms and conditions of my free trial. Regardless I found the plan to be very misleading. I'm sent a whole bottle but only 14 of them are free? I work with a local rating group and newspaper and the ladies in my neighborhood were asked to give the free trial a shot. Well we did. And now we have all been charged money we do not have. Mr. Williams flat out refused to give me a name or address so that we could file a complaint. I don't care what it says in the terms and conditions, it is downright shady to send a whole bottle when only 14 are free.
Needless to say you have lost a dozen customers so far. I'm sure you could care less, but we are giving it a rating of zero and having the paper print the misleading way you managed to make a pretty penny off of us as we are teachers, waitresses, nurses, and housewives.
shame on you. We should have been given at least a partial refund for the ambiguous set up you have.

I also paid for shipping on a FREE-TRIAL order and then my account was debited for $79.98. I have alerted my bank and my debit card can no longer be used. I have also signed fraud papers with my bank.I only authorized $6.94 for shipping, not the $79.98 for whatever they charged for!
People like this company should be put out of business. I'm a very honest person and this sort of thing just really rips me up !

I just checked my bank and saw these charges for a product I cancelled 15 minutes after I ordered it. I recieved an email that said I would recieve no further shipments or charges, and yet they have charged me $80 that was not in my account, so now I have to deal with overdraft charges as well. I have been on the phone for a half hour with a woman repeating herself over and over about all that I cancelled was the online journal. I asked to speak with a manager well over 10 times before she would put me on hold.

I will also contact BBB about this scam, its ridiculous to mislead someone to thinking they have cancelled something, and not and refuse to even let them speak to a manager.

I was also charged $80.oo for a free trial, and I told them I did not want to get the subscription. They charged me anyway, and I am in the process of disputing this with my card company. This is complete fraud, and I do not know how they get away with it?! They are thieves, I will be contacting the BBB, and who ever else I can. I may even publish something in the local paper so my peers will not fall into thier trap!

What makes me most angy is the fact that I was stupid enough to give my credit card to these crooks. I don't know what I was thinking that day- I never even opened the bottle- an expensive lesson learned- I'll tell you what, I feel worse for their representitives- they have the worst job in the world. I would hate to have to answer phones for thiefs- makes me appriciate my job so much more.

Hi, everyone. I just called my credit card company to cancel my credit card and send me new numbers. My credit card company assured me that the pending charges may post but any future charges will NOT transfer to my new card #. Some of you have said your first charge was more than the POSTAGE ($80). We'll see what my first charge will be then. I'll keep you all posted.

I too got taken. But I got hit by 2 different companies charging me for the same product. I did file a complaint with BBB and hopefully they can do something with these companies. The website for this company has drastically changed in the last 3 hours. They used to have a hopme page but dont and do not have any other way to reach them. They all are scams and we are so foolish to believe anything they say. They aren't even approves by the FDA.

Buyer Beware with theses companies

I also fell for the trial offer scheme, but in addition my bank since then has called to notify me that the initial shipping cost have now resulted in charges for the $79.99 and $169.95 . My account has also been charged for airline tickets and other items I have no idea about.

I have also been taken for quite a ride with this disgusting company! I am sooo disappointed in myself for getting my self get caught up in something like this! I have contacted my bank, the charges are still pending. The are unable to do any thing until the charges post. At that point i will be able to disput the charges for $79.98 (that was charged twice!)and $169.95. For AcaiOptimum & Advance Cleanse that were suppose to work better together! Right!?! I have contacted these companies several times just to get the run around about "Terms & Conditions" which were not any where visible on the ordering screen, you would would have to scroll literally to the end of the page and in tiny print! When i called and asked why i have been charged not only unauthorized but twice they said i had agreed to the "Terms & Conditions" i let them kno that i would be disputing the charges they said that if i did so they would not refund my money! Threat!?! I went ahead and let my bank know what they had said and they said that once the charges post i could dispute but only then. I am so frusterated I thought i had purchased their free trail for $3.95 total for both produscts but now they have debited $329.91 that are pending!

I tried to cancel after getting the trial bottle but never was able to reach anyone. Fortunately I used my credit card and I was called and asked if the charge was valid and authorized. So I was able to dispute the charge and have it removed and permanently blocked from my card. Why is this company allowed to continue to do business fraudulently and without being prosecuted?

They scammed me out of $80 too. My account wasn't charged for three weeks. My card was canceled so they cannot charge me any more. The real problem is that their supplement is basically a Caffeine pill. It caused real problems for me because I don't get very much caffeine in my diet.

OMG! I order it as well. I didn't even recieve the bottle until the 13th day! Than I mailed it back unopened and they still charged me. I called to complain and they said that they would not refund my money becasue I didn't call first to tell them I was returning the product. That I needed some kind of number to return it. Yet when I called them all I need was my name and zip to look up my info on there computers. The last time I check that information is on the tags to mail the bottle to me. I am so pissed. I am filing a complaint with the Better Business. I am also going to file fraud charges with my bank. This is just one huge SCAM>.

I suggest you do some research into where the sites are hosted and send an email to the hosted site stating that they must take the site down due to legal reasons ie: false advertising.

Also take it up with any consumer affairs organisation within your country.

Also if you internet is not (free), ie: a firewall is blocking content, get any of these types of sites put on the blacklist.

How can we stop these companies from getting away with such scams? I never received the sample but did receive a bottle of 60 pills (which I've never opened). I didn't want to take them until I had tried the sample. I just got my credit card bill which contained charges for the sample ($3.95 +foreign transaction fee of $ .07) PLUS the one bottle I did receive that I did NOT request ($79.98 + $1.59 foreign transaction fee) .. they claim I did order the sample which they were out of so they sent the full bottle! They also claim I was supposed to cancel my order within 14 days if I didn't want any shipments. NO WHERE DID I SEE ANY NOTATION TO THAT EFFECT.
I plan to once again contact my credit card company as I have no intension of paying these outrageous unauthorized charges. Can anyone advise whom else to contact to fight these SOB's?

This company is the biggest SCAM I have seen! Their terms and conditions are NOT clear and are VERY misleading! Free Trial...WHAT A JOKE! There is NO free trial with this company. I tried the live chat and when I started asking what State this company was operating in the chat ended and now they won't respond to my continued attempts to re-activate the live chat. I plan to make as many people as I can aware of this SCAM. These people need to be STOPPED NOW!

I tried to cancel after getting the trial bottle but never was able to canceled it either. They charged my account for $79.98 for subscription then $98 for two bottles. I called them today and they refused to issue credit for my account. Unfortunately I used my ATM card so I wasn't able to get the refund. They said I authorized the charge because it was in the fine PRINT. How can we stop them?

Yes definitely a scam. I ordered FREE trial bottle which was 60 pills. Only 28 of the pills were free. They charged me $79.98 to my account because they said I had 14 days from the day I ordered them to try them out. I called to cancel and ask for refund. They said they would refund me in 5 business days, of course they did not. When I called back they totally were repeating themselves and kept saying they had to receive product 1st which they have 5 days ago. They assure me they put in refund today and it will be 5 business days. I am thinking again they are not telling the truth. Please do not order these. I tried one day. My arm went numb, my face went numb and I had a headache all day. I couldn't even put a sentence together or think of simple words for a whole 24 hours and still had a headache for a few days.

I to was scammed. They charged me $79.98 which I did not have. I am going to my bank in the morning & dispute this. My credit card is blocked. They took out the $4.95 off of my credit card. I am really angry about the whole situation. I hope no one else falls for this scam. I am also going to call the BBB & find out what can be done. I hope they put these companies out of business. Times are really hard right now. But I believe that these people will get their pay back. Gods Child from GA.
