I was on a different website when this dieting ad popped up, and gave a spew about how effective the diet would be, and named a girl in my neighborhood who had successfully used it. I applied for the
FREE TRIAL, which COST me $2.95. The ad read that after receipt of the free trial and 10 days, if not satisfied I could contact them to discontinue the product. HOWEVER, BEFORE I received the triaL, AND IN LESS THAN 10 DAYS, my credit card was billed for $87.83!
I called Maxi Diet at the number on the credit card billing, and spoke with a young lady who TRIED DESPERATELY to convince me to continue getting the product and if I couldn't use it, I should give it to a friend or relative!!! Finally, after threatening to have my doctor send a letter to the BBB and Consumer Protection, she agreed to send me an e-mail for me to complete, and she gave explicit instructions on completion of the e-mail form in order to discontinue the product and receive a refund of the charge on my credit card.
She said the refund would take 10 to 15 days!!! (I need the $$ NOW)
She NEVER sent the e-mail, and three days later, I received the Trial Offer. If necessary, I WILL HAVE MY DOCTOR CONTACT THE BBB AND CONSUMER PROTECTION WITH A LETTER, STATING WHY I CANNOT TAKE THEIR PILLS. DON'T GET RIPPED OFF --- THIS IS A HUGE SCAM, THEY ARE DEFINITELY UNSCRUPULOUS AND SHOULD BE BANNED FROM ADVERTISING ON-LINE. OR ANYWHERE ELSE. Thank You
