I recently had a pop up on my computer inviting me to sample natureberry and vitalitycleanse. These products CLAIM to have outstanding results in weight reduction and as a health supplement. The trial cost about £4 each. i agreed, gave credit card details, and received the tablets. To my horror, when my credit card account arrived, a further £75 had been taken for each product --- yes £150 almost. You could call it a scam -- I do. It appears somewhere in the small print it states that you must contact viv3lab within 15 days and cancel your contract if you do not wish to subscribe. <br />
I contacted my credit card company but it is too late. They have been swamped with similar calls.<br />
These people are so cunning. They failed to even send an invoice when they debit your credit card a/c with £150 after the 15 days supposed trial. <br />
Had I received an invoice, it would brought to my attention what their game was. By the time my credit card a/c arrived the 30 day return period had expired and I had no comeback. <br />
All this is in the 20+ pages of terms and conditions and who is going to read all that when all you wanted to do was try a free sample. <br />
The European trade standards tell me the Company is about to be struck of the Companies register but as one of their former employees posted, they just start up with a different trading name. <br />
He also says they buy these little boxes of capsules for approx £5 and trick people into paying £75 for them. How devious are these people and how can they get away with it. <br />
I have been made redundant recently and am kicking myself for being so stupid.
