I ordered a trial bottle of Acai Berry 500. The product is solicited on the web page with the approval of Rachael Ray, and references to several television networks recommendations, such as CNN, CBS, and ABC. The charge for the sample trail showed up on my checking account record as MY VIP FIT [protected] UT.
Today I found an additional charge to my checking account record in the amount of $89.31, contacted my bank immediately to report a fraudulent charge. When I tried to call the number to dispute the charges and cancel the automatic resupply the phone number was no longer in service. BTW, I found the small link to the terms at the bottom of the website page from which I ordered. When I checked-out one of their other websites the terms are clearly displayed next to the order form.
This is a quote from another consumer 'You do the math, one stupid consumer x $89.31 = $$$$$$ In these economic times, we don't need these kind of scams.'
I purchased a free sample of Colon Pure (for a 2 week supply) and I was charged 4.95 for shipping and handling. Then about 4 weeks later my credit card was charged 38.95. I did not authorize this charge, nothing else came and I have made numerous attempts to contact this company and when I call their is an answering machine that comes on and you are unable to speak to a live person. I have left messages and no response. I have also made several attempts with no luck to contact them by email also with the same result. How can companies just rip people off and get away with it? This is theft.
We had our move this Saturday and I could not believe what happened. First of all Daniel (the lead) comes in with all this paperwork and shows me all these additional packing charges. While yes I do see there may be additional packing material charges I had no idea until my stuff was held hostage that tape and shrink wrap would cost over 1000.00 and be nearly half the bill. I was quoted $568.58 plus the additional 5% charge for fuel of 29.92 for a 5 hour loading and unloading and an additional hour and half for travel time. I was charged 2279.20. The total time for loading and unloading was 6.5 hours so that is only 1.5 hours more than what you had estimated so you can see the surprise in the final bill.
Also when Daniel came in he would not give me any kind of idea how much the additional packing would cost. I tried getting an understanding of the packing estimates but he would not even give me any ideas. He finally did say that each piece that had glass in it would be around 50.00 a piece, based on that I choose to move all the glass and mirrors myself. I also told him to advise me when anything was going to cost extra. He only did this for 3 items tv, tv stand and 4 chairs. However again he did not give me any idea how much he would charge to pack those items. The TV alone was nearly 300.00. I could have rented a truck and moved the tv myself for the packing they put around it. If some of these items were going to cost extra to wrap the blankets on the wood furniture I communicated that to be identified and I would decide it was not until my stuff was in your truck.
Further more I feel they really took me as they shirk wrapped items that did not need to be wrapped such as metal bed rails and a office chair with plastic with no pads. Why bother using the shrink wrap on those items how was that going to protect the item it wasn't it was allowing them to charge me for it. I had boxed everything (As my boyfriend is a warehouse manager and has access to boxes, shrink wrap and tape) and took the beds apart the only item they had to take a part was a desk that they could not get out without disassembling part of it. While I was assuming the cost would be higher than the estimate (specifically the travel time) I was not made aware that it would be anywhere near what it was again until my stuff was in their truck and it was made very clear it would stay there until I paid what was demanded.
I had four other bids all of which were 1200.00 to 700.00 less than what my final bill was.
I called them on Saturday but no one returned my call. I emailed Mike the person that sent me the quote on Monday and have not heard back from any of the emails I sent to him.
On October 13, I was surfing online and found an ad about Extreme Acai Berry tablets, which had great reviews according to the website. I did read the fine print, and I scoured the web for negative reports, but I did not find any. So, I decided to give them a try. The trial period was for 14 days, which I reasoned was a good amount of time considering that there is shipping and handling involved. I went ahead and placed the order.
However, I didn't receive the product until day 11, which only gave me three days to try the product. That should have been my first sign to call and cancel, but since my work hours varied that weekend, I didn't get a chance to call until Monday (10/27), the 14th day of the trial.
So, I called early Monday morning, but the waiting time was too long. Then, at my lunch/break time, I called again. Guess what? No answer! So, I decided to call the second number listed on the fine print. Besides telling me that they had no account for me, they also told me that Extreme Acai Berry had another number that I could call.
So I called that number, and nothing. A message comes through my wireless provider that the number cannot be completed as dialed. I kept trying many, many times throughout the day, but I still did not get through.
On Tuesday, I tried again, and I finally got through. By that time, they had already posted the charge to my account. I tried to explain this to the customer service representative (CSR), but all she kept saying was that the agreement was that they would take the payment after the 14th day of the trial. Exasperated, I asked to speak with a supervisor. The CSR said there was no one else to speak to. I then asked for their physical address, making a decision to post my experience to this report.
I firmly believe that I could not get through to their customer service department because they wanted me to go through the trial without canceling in order to get their money. This is fraudulent, and they should be put out of business!
We purchased this PC utility software to use the Partition Management facilities. When we select this option we get a VD burning screen. The promised facilities do not exist. Nothing happens when the Settings option is selected.
The only text in the help file is 'Help Demo by Julian Smart. Contents, Introduction, Chapter 2' That is it in its entirety. There are no other instructions whatsoever. I would be seriously afraid to run any of this software.
It looks like a scam to me, and I have been in the industry for 38 years.
On october the 25th I ordered a book on the site of Ray Riling arms books. I got a confirmation by mail, and my card was charged for US$ 113, 95. Book plus shipping. Until today, no book, no reply, nothing.
Ray Riling seems to be no longer in business!
They're liars! They took away my money and I still haven't got my order! Don't trust them!
I checked my mastercard statement and saw that my card was charged $38.95 for what, I have no clue. I didn't give this company permission to charge my card. I don't even know this company, or what they sell. Don't be a victim like me, report these crooks.

Their affiliate program is supposed to pay 35% of the gross sales on a monthly basis, regardless of the amount. I signed up in Jan. 2006, and have sold over $600 worth of magazines for them, but still have not received one cent from them. I've sent them emails, but they don't respond.
Please don't waste your time and money promoting their program, because you won't get anything back for it.
I hired TaxMasters to help resolve my tax issues - to date they have done nothing. I hired then on November 7th 2007. I originally spoke with Brian Gordon, then since I have spoken to several people that have come and gone from the employ of the company. I have made numerous phone calls and sent multiple emails. I get the run around that someone will get back to me. However, I do not hear from them until I call or email then they again state that someone will contact me.
I grew tired of the problems and hired a local Tax professional to assist me with my taxes. I still need to make arrangements with the IRS and Maryland regarding my owed taxes but at least they are now at a manageable level due to the assistance of the CPA. I am wanting a complete refund from Tax Maters - the amount that I paid them will help resolve a good portion of my tax debt.
I have also filed a complaint with the Houston BBB - let's see what happens!
I recently watched Oprah and she raved about Acai Berry for weight loss. I decided to turn to the internet to try to find out where I could get this and how expensive it would be. I found a website that offered a 14-day trial period for only $3.95 S&H. I have yet to receive the product that I have paid for and have tried numerous times to contact the company to see where my shipment is and to cancel anymore monthly charges that could occur. You never speak to a live person, you just get a recording and music. So right now I believe that this product is better at losing your money than your weight!
Need to get my wheels barrier replace on the left driver side of my truck, the price started off at $500.00 dollar by the time I got a call the price was $1009.00. Okay, the manager was saying now I need to get my rotor replace, and I just had those done last year and brakes as well. Then the manager gave me the long story about my the tire falling off when he place my truck on the lift. Then I told him that I didn't have $1009.00 to get my truck repair, then he stated that if I didn't pay for entire repair, I won't be able to get my truck back with out paying something the minimum would be $500.00. Okay I drop the truck off on 18th of October and I explain that prior to leaving my truck that I didn't have the money.
So, I ask could I leave my truck here until the 31st of October, because I needed time to come up with money. Okay the manager agree I could leave my truck there and won't be charge a storage fee or diagnose fee. Okay after talking to the manager who was very disrespectful about not allow me to have my truck towed, I was speaking with on the phone and he never mention that my truck couldn't be towed. The store manager call me back a hour later and said that my truck couldn't be towed because it only had three tires, so he told the towing company that they couldn't take the truck. I wanted to have to truck towed back to my house which was walking distance. I called the corporate office and spoke the distance manager and he was worse the store manager. Bottom lines is don't ever take your vehicle to any of the Just Brakes they are about making money at your expense.
On 11/28/2017, The HH Gregg store near Chapel Hill Mall, Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, offered an LG television Model 42LG70 for $700.00 The nearby Best Buy store offered the same television for $1, 299.00 ($500.00 more than HH Gregg) and Best Buy displayed a sign that they would beat any other store's offer plus 10% off. When the customer inquired at Best Buy, they said that they could not go lower than $300.00 (Contrary to their expressed offer.). When the customer went back to HH Gregg, it just to happened that they were not in-stock, but happily offered another make and model.

On of my clients I do computer Tech support for their business got a Xbox 360 From Buy.com that was a rectified it last 24 hours and they were told to returned for repair and was lost for a month by Buy.com repair center.
They got it back still not working I was asked to looked into this problem and make calls for them I called Buy.com to report the Xbox problem was it was defective and had the 'Red Ring of Death' that a major Xbox units suffer from. I was told to cam Microsoft as Buy.come would not take the Xbox back or re-sent it for repair.
We did Microsoft and sent it in and it was returned un-fixed as they said it was tamper with and was not repairable by them but would not give more info as to how it was tamper with I called Microsoft to demand they repair it they said they would looked deeper into why their repair center said the Xbox tamper with and if a repairs could still be done. Nothing from them
I called the Buy.com support line for the second time and was told there was nothing that could be done so my clients now have a $260 paper weight. I tried one more time and found and called the corporate main office and talked to the Gate keeper on my clients problems with their order I was connected to a woman name Jamie she said the were sorry and that my client was to get a full refund and a shipping label was being sent out and we would send the Xbox back...
This was week and a half ago and there has been not label no sign of a refund of my client's money and no contact from buy.com. They now have a Xbox that is not working no one wants to take back and is nothing more than a $260 paper weight. Buy.com has failed to do the rigth thing and should not be seen as some place to buy from if they can not do the right thing when an item comes up DOA and there has been not uses of that item from day one.
they would not give any on a 14 day return when the item it self had gone to repairs and was gone for a whole month and a bit more and still cameback dead.. As far as I see it Buy.com will no longer get my or anyone one I knows money.
I had DIRECT TV for over 2 years and fulfilled my 2 year contract. I called them to cancel. They told me they were going to charge me an Early termination fee and a total charge for about 217.00. So I filed a Dispute with the Better Busines Bureau whom has been very helpful at resolving disputes about different things in the past. And decant company's Do work with you.
Not DIRECT TV they came back and said I Owed 610.00 How did it go from 210.00. to 610.00. I know other people who have had problems with Direct TV and they don't care. I just want to Warn people about DIRECT TV so they DON'T have the same problem. To STAY away from this company. I was warned a year ago by a friend about them and told myself this wont happen to me. Will it did. I am very upset about this.
I am a print broker. I ordered printing from this company and noticed on various orders I was charged 2 or 3 times for the same order. They asked for copies/proof of my orders and bank statements which I sent over. I was told it was a problem with the web site which caused it and they will put the money (a total of almost $2, 000.00) back on my card. After various phone calls promising me the same thing I called my debit card company but the time limit for me to fight a charge on my card had already passed. This is when everything went crazy for me.
The lady that was taking care of my problem at the company just had a baby so she was out for a while. The new lady asked me for all the paper work again (proof of orders, bank statements, e-mails from the first lady, etc). After I sent her everything she e-mails me back and states 'we already refunded you all the money last month'. I then called my debit card company to see if I missed something and was told there wasnt any refunds on my account at all. I was then faxed from pressexprint some documents that show my refunds but these documents had their new address that they recently moved to after this problem.
I e-mailed (she would never answer my calls) them back asking why these documents have the new address when they were at the old address when all of this happened. That was the last I heard from anyone there. They even blocked my e-mail so I couldn't e-mail them any longer.
Let me point out that 3 years before this happened, it happened before for around $1200 I believe. I got the runaround and stopped using them for printing for a little over 2 years. I was contacted by them as they would reduce my prices and give me a $1500 credit and 10, 000 postcards for my company. So I started printing with them again. Then it happened again.
AT&T allowed this company, who they claim no affiliation, to charge me for a voice mail service I did not authorize. Now I am being charge late fees added for not paying this bill. I feel AT&T is responsible since they allowed this to happen without my authorization.
I never wanted nor ask for a voice mail. Did not even know it was active until the charge showed up on my bill. I call the phone company and was told by a customer service that I automatically sign up when I opened a website. I continue not to pay for something I did not request. AT&T should be held accountable.
I bought Magic Jack about a month and a half ago. I thought it sounded like a good deal. I paid extra so that I would not have to pay a bill for five years. I started having problems with the Magic Jack like, buzzing in the phone, dropped calls, constantly having to restart the systems, and an echo.
Each time I would contact the company via a chat room. This in its self was funny because they do not even use their own product. Today was the final straw. I could not even reboot the system.
I was on line for about an hour and they finally decided it was internet service. I asked about getting a refund on the extra five year service I paid for and they stated that they could not refund it. I have a report with the BBB and I hope for a positive outcome.
I went to a Wal-Mart store for tire service, as one of my tires had a blowout in the wall the size of a baseball. I often monitor the condition of my tires. While at the Wal-mart auto shop, I took a closer inspection also to the inside walls of my tires, and discovered a crack wearing in the walls of 2 other tires. This could have been from the intense summer heat in the parking lot, as my tires had plenty of tread remaining.
I've always gotten good wear of tires in the 30 plus years I've been driving. I spoke with the woman who was writing the invoice, and the supervisor, who was supposed to ensure my exact specifications were completed as requested. I asked got specific clarity that they replace the cracked tires, along with the blowout, with new tires... and the new tires placed on the rear for safety.
I also ask that they take the good rear tire and use it as a spare. After paying for the job and then going to my car, I inspected to ensure they'd done the job as I'd specified, which we had gone over very clearly. No they had not. The good tire from the rear was missing altogether. They had put a new tire on the front. The only spare tire I had in the trunk was the blown out tire with the hole in it's wall the size of a baseball.
I was horrified. I was scheduled to go to Charleston SC for a followup appointment with orthopedics as I had a cast from having broken my wrist. I spoke with the staff and learned that they had taken the good tire from the rear and put in into a pile of tires inside the shop, nearly ripping me off of a perfectly good tire. I work hard to earn a living to make sure I have at least the necessities in life.
To have a monster billionaire company like Wal-Mart literally try to rip me off was, to say the least, aggravating. Rather than even offer me a sincere apology and immediately initiate correction of the problem, the staff (except for the woman greeter, who had a half-way decent demeanor) acted like they were 'half-witted about what even a half-way prudent person would have done.
I certainly let the supervisor know how I felt about the matter and their putting my safety in jeopardy; and that I had a life to attend to, rather than having spend double time there for such negligence. Inside I felt very annoyed but kept my cool, considering the circumstances. The supervisor whom I'd given the specific instructions to actually got a bit of an attitude, as though he was trying to turn it around on me somehow.
Of course there was no way he could since he simply didn't ensure the job was done as we had very clearly agreed. I could have gotten stuck in a 60-mile stretch on US Highway 17 between Georgetown and Charleston, where there is nothing but woodsland. That could have cost me quite a bit since I would have had no replacement spare tire. If I'd had a flat tire, I'd had opened my trunk to find nothing but a blown out tire for a spare.
In this case I asked to see the General Manager of the store. This situation was bad enough I felt it necessary to insist on speaking with the General Manager of the store. They finally got the job corrected. I don't think it even dawned on them to even verbalize an apology. They must be trained to never apologize to any customers, like it would be admitting guilt or something.
I was certainly not interested in any type of civil action for their careless, or cheating 'mishap.' All I cared about was, when it comes to the tires on the vehicle I drive, I have to ensure they my care is as safe as possible. On top of this, I learned very shortly afterwards that the individual who did the job, had disconnected something in my electrical system, which ended up costing me a trip to my mechanic.
Since my car is a Mercedes, repairs are considerably expensive. That's pretty sad. They tried ripping me off of my tires, and in the process incompetently didn't reconnect something they disconnected. I was not about to take my car back to Wal-Mart, and put it in their hands.
I bought a CD for Grant Resources for a minimal charge of $1.95. Then I find my bank has a fraudulent charge of $54.65 by Grant Research Guide - WITHOUT MY PERMISSION!
I received a letter in the mail from this company that stated they had been unsuccessful in having any response from me either by phone or mail in regards to an account. Also that my fees were multiplying and this account will be going to court at the end of November with their legal team.
Also they found it important to inform me that if this goes to the attorneys, it will become very costly to me and they don't want to see that happen. Their instructions were to contact them as soon as possible to stop court proceedings and let us both work together to pay this account. Hand wrote stated 'Pay ASAP $189.99 to pay my account in full or this will go to court for a cost up to $200.00 plus additional fees, must be paid in full by 10/28/08!'
At first I could not figure out what or who these people were. The letter appears to be a copy of a fax that was then hand wrote on and copied again then mailed to me. I remembered ordering some magazines from my young cousin for a school fund raiser some time back and recalled that I had some problems with them after I paid a few of the bills.
I went back into my records and found the invoice for the magazines and sure enough the company read S.E.F. Publishers Marketing Services. The address was different: 2201 Cantu Court, Suite 210 Sarasota, FL 34232. My records show I contacted them on 03/10/04 to cancel and they stated to watch for info in the mail. I do not recall any info but I did not receive any magazines, bills or debts from my account until this letter I received today.
I paid with checks and the account used has been closed for some time. The bills from 2004 have customer service numbers listed and the invoice number matches the invoice number they site today.
I booked my June 2008 cruise nearly a year in advance. At that point there were three to share our cabin. One had to cancel. I was told there would be a $250 penalty and agreed. Initially there was no charge for the fuel supplement, $70 per cabin. I was charged on March 31 even though on March 31, Carnival announced they would refund fuel charges for passengers booking prior to the announcement which came in November 2008.
I received receipts from my travel agent showing what was to be refunded which agreed with the figures I had anticipated. Somehow a refund of $971.53 became $621.33. Despite numerous calls to my travel agent and to Carnival, I was told I could not have it explained because I went through a travel agent. The travel agent tells me Carnival won't tell her anything 'It's just how Carnival does business'. I have disputed the charge with my credit card company.
Even a letter to the president of Carnival yielded 'Guest Relations Manager has discussed my inquiry'. The only thing the Guest Relations Manager discussed with me was that she could not discuss it with me. The travel agent says she doesn't know. Well, I know my $350.20 went somewhere. I guess I will file a complaint with the Florida Attorney General's Office, regarding both the travel agent and Carnival. Accountability please!
The young man approached my husband while he was out walking our dog and told him he was working for Saint Louis University (where I work), so my husband told him to ring our doorbell and I would take care of him. Normally, I would never buy anything from a door-to-door solicitor, but since my husband told I'm that, I thought he had already checked him out. The young man said he was selling magazine subscriptions to earn a trip to go to Italy with the Saint Louis University debate team. I asked him what would happen if he didn't sell enough subscriptions and he said he wouldn't get to go. Then, I asked him if he had a SLU ID and he said he didn't have it with him. I should have known better, but he started rushing me and promised me that he was a junior at SLU. In a few minutes, someone honked for him and he said he was really late and needed to get going. I wrote the check and he gave me two receipts. I didn't look at the receipts until after he was gone. He didn't have my name or address written correctly and the receipt was not dated. There is no way a magazine will ever arrive at the address he wrote. When I called the customer service phone number printed on the receipt, a recording said that there is not a representative available, but to press '1' to leave a message and someone would return my call. When I pressed '1', the recording said the message box was full. Then, the message continues to repeat itself. The receipt says I have three business days to cancel in writing by mail or telegraph. I am going to do that, but I am also going to stop payment on my check. This is going to cost me, but not quite as much as the full subscription of the magazine. Whatever it costs, I don't want this company to get a dime.
