BEWARE, BEWARE, BEWARE !!!!!!!
I was scammed by this fly by night company. I ordered a bottle of these pills and actually received 2 bottles. I was charged for 2 separate orders. I quickly called in and cancelled the orders a week later. Then 20 days later I received 2 more bottles of pills. I was charged $149.96 for them! I was unable to call a second time because of traveling abroad. 27 days later I was charged another $149.96 for another 2 bottles. So in 48 days, I was charged $309.90 for 6 bottles of pills. I called the company and was able to get a refund on 2 bottles after making a firm complaint. However, they said they would not do the other first 2 bottles as they said it was too long. So in the end, I spent 160.00 on a free trial period.

    Did you actually get some of your money back, or did they just promise they would refund it?

    Don't count on them to cease shipping and charging you.  With "free trial" scams, the whole goal is to get your account number and cram as many charges on as they can in a short time until you block it.

    You better close and block your account due to fraud to prvent additional fraudulent charges.  Immediately file fraud disputes through your bank for the charges they crammed.  You can dispute charges within 60 days of the statement date of the statement showing the disputed charges, directly through your bank, under FRB Reg. E for checking accounts, or FCBA for credit cards.

    File fraud complaints with FTC and your state Attorney General, and file a mail fraud complaint with the U.S. Postal Inspector.

    May 31, 2010.  Just similarly experienced the above also. Noticed my online CC statement that they charged me $74.98 last Fri, the 28th, for another 30day supply which I did not agree to or maybe in the FINE PRINT. Not being aware that it is a holiday today, I called and of course no answer.  Called my CC C/S and understandably, they wanted me to dispute it first with the merchant - which I will do first thing tomorrow AM.  Have not received the product shipped (?) nor want it.  THIS IS A BIG SCAM.  THE PRODUCT DOES NOT WORK!  DO NOT BITE THEIR "FREE SAMPLE" BAIT!  Wish me luck in my call tomorrow.  Thanks.

    I to did not agree to another months supply of this product and found on this months credit statement another $74.98 for a bottle I did not agree to. I like the product ,but will not against my request pay 74.98 for it. I will call and exspect that this will be remedied. Not Happy.

    Imagine my chagrin when I recieved 2 more bottles of pills that do not work.    I am going to the bank tomorrow to block any more withdrawals from my account. This is a sneaky scam that targets elderly people who are barely squeaking by on social security. I urge anybody that is remotely interested in this bogus to consult your States Attorney General or the better businessw bureau. Shame on you INSTAFLEX.

    I did not authorize andy order for instaflex other than the 2 week 'FREE TRIAL'. I did not agree to another 30 day supply with a charge to my credit card in the amount of $74.98!
    You are dishonest in sending anything besides the 2 week supply!

    My credit card company confirmed a unrequested second delivery after the delivery of a Trial bottle is a on ongoing SCAM.

    They ask you for your credit card number to pay shipping but they really want in to charge you for the unrequested second delivery.

    Contact your credit card company ASAP to dispute the charge for the unrequested second delivery.

    Cancel your current credit card account and open a new one. Tell them not to release the new credit card number to Instaflex.
