Free offer scams Acai Berry weightloss and cleanses

I ordered acaiblast free 14 day trial and they charged my card 79.95 after 6 days and no product. I have heard that my refund is being processed and escalated. It has been 10 days since I have canceled the order and requested a refund. They keep emailing me with their terms and conditions. Well I followed the terms and conditions, they didn't follow them. It says on the 15th day after the intial order my card would be charged for the full amount. 79.95 if I didnt call and cancel. I orderd on the 19th, they charged me on the 25th and I canceled it on the 28th. Now they still say that I am going to be shipped another bottle and that I will be charged 79.95 again for the 2nd bottle. I canceled my card so they couldn't charge it the 2nd time and filed a fraudulent charge claim with my bank and visa. I have posted many websites as fraud websites that all link back to Healthy solutions in Ottawa Canada. They charge in Canada, ship from Utah, and want you to return items to China. But if you dont want the hassle of returning it they will give you a $20 discount off the bottle. Nice try. As soon as I replied to them that they are a scam the website was deleted the very next day. I printed everything before they shut the website down, but now they have others. coloncleanse-elite.com, acaipowerblastoffer.com, dropweightfast.com,acaiburnz.com, acaiberrypurefreetrial.com, acaielite.com, free-trial-acai.com. All of these go back to Healthy Solutions in Ottawa Canada. Where they take your money and dont give you anything for it. Then when you call them on it they won't help you whatsoever. The actual website that I used was acaiblast4free.com. This is now deleted. The emails I was getting were from Mary Lohan, Ericka Chanelle, and Roby stazer, but the email was allen jamison AT gmail.com I spoke with many people at customer service at healthy solutions. Jamie Smith, Max, Chris Tiu, Ashley Gomez, and the funny thing is that Ashley Gomez even stated to me that she knows they are a fraud and she totally understands my problem, but there is nothing she can do. Huh. I told her Karma will bite her in the ass. I truely believe that anyone connected or working for this company that knows they are a scam are just as at fault as the company is. I don't know how they live with themselves.

I am an ex Local Billing employee, the owners of www.acaiberryexclusive.com, www.acaiberry-lifecleanse.com, www.absoluteacaiberry.com and another sites with these fake diet products (colon cleanser, acai berry, resveratrol). They are operating using various companies: Viv3Labs for Europe, FMW Laboratories for US And, lately, to avoid the problems caused by the scam using Viv3Labs, they are using Trading Planet Ltd for Europe and Information Tech Systems LTd for US. Also, they are using PurpleSky LTD at Cyprus for Europe. Lately, they are using some companies opened to process credit cards for the porn industry (LB Pride Studios, LB Envision Net Worldwide, etc.- all of them are Local Billing Companies – LB stats for LB).

The business model is to offer a FREE SAMPLE, only charging you the postage (this is an excuse to get your credit card number) and, then, due to HIDDEN Terms and Conditions, charge people incredible amounts of money for pills and nutraceuticals (in some cases more than 80€ /bottle), which in any retail place cost less than 6 US$ per bottle.

This business model is, basically, A SCAM.

The owners of those sites are Deepak Argwal (http://www.ccap.ph/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=106:deepak-agarwal&catid=76:hot-topic, who, apart from this business –contactcenter, legal-, is running more than 2.000 Porn Sites –see DeeCash.com-), Clay Douglass (http://www.linkedin.com/in/claydouglass) and Mitch Platt (http://www.linkedin.com/pub/mitch-platt/4/271/878).

It is easy to contact them through the information that appears on the site registration of www.acaiberryexclusive.com. Now, they discovered this hole on their ability to remain hidden and are registering the new sites using a Marketing company located in the US:

JUst out of curosity I wanted to see if the website you told us in your complaint was indeed deleted, so I copied and pasted the web address and low and behold it is again active> This is the site that you said was closed or deleted, acaiblast4free.com.

So Buyers Beware They are at it again.. Hope this helps keep others from being scammed

Your comments interesting, having had the same problem for two months now and €400.-minus! What a learning curb. It was the first time I ever acted on a free-trial and never again. Reason for the purchase 'it was on Oprah Winfred show', just love her programs, thought if it is good enough for her, then I'll give it a go! Big mistake, thanks for your brief above.
