A couple of weeks ago I received an email which appeared legit that touted all the incredible antioxidant properties of newest berry from the famed Brazilian Rainforest. Being interested in health and wellness, I eagerly replied and checked the box that I would be willing to pay for S&H to receive a sample bottle. I did receive a sample bottle as ordered. However, to my surprise, I received another full-size bottle today which I did NOT order!
I have been unable to find any way to contact this company and had not agreed to any membership or other agreement to receive further shipments. This company is suspicious because there is no literature mailed to you and as most of you have probably experienced, their website seems to leave no 'cookie' to even try to retrieve the 'sent' email.
Like many others, I am returning the unopened, full-size bottle along with a copy of this website and my specific complaint. Thank you!

the same happend to me I ordered a "free trial" and were just charged postage. Three weeks later a full bottle showed up and our account was charged without our authorization. I attempted to contact but could not get through to person. I have cancelled online and I plan to return unopened bottle that I did not order. Please do not order from this company. It is a scam!

Need to know the pricing/ packages that you have available.
I enjoyed the free samples, but never heard another thing
from you. The box had nothing inside except the bottle of
Pure Acai Berry, so didn't know how to contact. Was pleased
with the product.
Thank you.

Same with me on everything except I will not return the product. I did not order it, thus they sent me a gift. Why should I go through the trouble and cost of returning it and allow them to profit twice. They are not going to give credit, just gloat over the returned product.
I am, however, seeking a cheap, or pro bono chemist, to analyze the product for harmful or worthless content.
Yes, quickly contact the credit card company and also refer them to this site and the listed complaints.
The call to the state attorney general is another good idea.
Good luck gang.

I ordered the trial bottle of PureAcaiBerry from Performance Health which arrived last week, but the formula has ingredients my system does not tolerate and I did not want to order more. I just received a larger bottle that I did not order. I intend to return it and try to stop payment. Wish I had done more research before contacting this company. Any success stories on customers getting satisfaction would be appreciated.
Thanks,

I did not authorize you to charge $79.76 to my credit card and credit my account the above amount, as I did not order anything from you other than the sample for $3.95. If my account is not credited within 48 hours, you will hear from my attorney.

I did not authorize you to charge $74.76 to my credit card. Please cancel any and all shipments to me and credit my account the above amount, as I did not want anything else from you at this time as when I did try to use your product I did become ill and quit using it.

I talked to a person on the phone and authorized him to send the sample bottle. He said I will sign you up for the monthly bottle at 74.00. I told him I was not interested. He in turn said I will send you the free sample if you will pay the postage. To that I agreed. I received the free sample and immediately got on my computer and cancelled the monthly order(just to be safe. ) Then 4 days later I received a full bottle and charge to my credit card of $74.00. This Pure Acai Berry company is not legit. I am returning the unopened bottle as thier terms apply, but I don't know if I will get my money back. After seeing all the complaints from other people. I think I also have a reason to complain.

I too was taken in by these crooks. Fortunately, I have my bank working to get this resolved. I too, ordered a sample and agreed to pay the shipping chare of $4.97 . I did not agree to make any further purchases. But guess what? My bank account was charged $74.76 PLUS a $35.00 ISF charge. These people should be put out off business for good. They also should be charged with bank fraud as well as mail fraud . I have tried on numerous ocassions to contact them but to no avail. Never again will I trust anyone hawking a product online

I received word that for $4.95 I could get a weeks supply of the AcaiBerry. I received the capsules and tried them for a week, but they did not do as the claim they would. I have now received a 30 day supply that was not ordered by me and charged $74.95. I want to know when I can send them back and receive credit for them. I want to take my name off your mailing list. Thank you. Robert E. Lydy

The same thing happened to me both with acia berry and their ultra relief product. When I contacted them to complain they said that it states that by purchasing the trail it will sign you up to receive more product. I dont know where this is stated but it must be microscopic because I didn't see it. I sent both items back and did receive a fast refund but I would NEVER do business with this company again. I think they count on people being passive and not bothering to return the unwanted products.

I called Utah Attorney Gen'l. Office and was told to go on line to complain and they would see about stopping this company. www.dcp.utah.gov also call your credit card co. and dispute the charges. They will direct you.

This is definitely a scam. Same thing happened to me. trial bottle and then an unsolicited bottle for outrageous amount of 74.95. Definitely don't send it back. Call your credit card company. Once the charge is reversed, you can decide whether or not you want to return the product. You are not required to, as it was unsolicited. I'm also going to call Consumer Affairs, A.G.'s office, wherever I need to go to have this company shut down.

RETURNING THE PRODUCT WILL NOT GET YOU A REFUND!!! These scammers HOPE you return their product...then they can sell it to someone else! You MUST contact your credit card company or bank and have the unauthorized charges reversed! Think of how many people that have been charged $89.31! If they get to keep that money...they're making some big bucks! CONTACTING THE "MERCHANT" (the people running the scam) will do you no good. Your only chance is to have your financial institution REVERSE THE UNAUTHORIZED CHARGES!!

My address is PO Box 829 Kila, MT 59920. I did NOT authorize a 74.95 charge to my debit card for 60 capsules of PureAcaiBery. I do NOT want you product and I want you to credit my debit card back for the full amount of 74.95. I do NOT want your product and I want you delete me from your system AFTER you have given me a full credit on my debit card. What you did was illegal and UNAUTHORIZED. Thank you.

This is so terrible that when we have good intentions to try a product, it becomes a scam.
I had the same thing happen to me. I ordereed a 5 day sample supply & when I finished this supply I was automatically billed $74.76 on my credit card.
This website should be banned from the internet somehow.

I also agreed on August 8th to "pay for shipping" on a SAMPLE of acai berries and on August 15th I was charged 74.76 for a bottle (I guess) that I have not received. I notified my Pay Pal account and they advised me to contact the company. What a SCAM>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Aparently the company is tp performance life.

I saw an add and it said get Acaiberries free, just pay shipping and handling charge $4, 95 and about a week to 4 days later, I noticed an unauthorized charge for 74.95 on my checking statement. I talked to one operator nd received no refund. I mailed the pills back to them and I have not heard from them as of yet. This is a scam.
