If at all possible I would like to get a refund on the bottled I was sshipped without my permission.
Thankiing you in advance for your support.
There are hundreds of these scams, even a whole "web design" industry set up just to construct websites with just the right amount of obscuring of terms, just enough to be missed by many consumers, buried behind some link at the last point, hidden at the bottom of a long page, buried in "boilerplate", or whatever.
Or you can expect to find that the "free trial" doesn't arrive until after the "cancellation period" (too bad, we can't control shipping delays), or the phone isn't answered (we have lot's of customers calling), or the "cancellation" is "accidentally" lost and the charges keep coming, or you "have to return the unused sample" to get a refund, or "the returned product arrived damaged", or it "never arrived", or whatever you make up today. There will always be some "reason" why people will get charged, and why they keep getting charged, since that is your goal.
In your case, you put the "automatic shipment" disclosure of the larger charges behind the "terms" link. The "billing" section only shows the small "shipping and handling". Even though the boilerplate below the credit card billing form shows it, it's not as prominent as the original "trial offer" terms used to lure people into the offer, and buried in the second paragraph.
You chose how you "disclosed". If you are aware of this problem due to numerous complaints going back years, yet you have done nothing to resolve it, then that must be your intent, so if numerous consumers claim they were deceived, then they were deceived.
Thanks for the fine example of "plausible deniability" in action.
Why would you try something for free with intent to just cancel? That's illogical. Did you even follow the directions? I doubt it. You probably took it for a few days then gave up because you didn't feel any different. Maybe you even took more than they said to see if it helped. Some things need to build up in your system before you begin to see or feel the results. Things like ibuprofen. But ignorant people just like to take he easy way, lie about it and blame others. Do you really believe an 81 year old woman... who posted earlier... is 81... seriously... can you not see the lies here. Or do you go with them because they reinforce your own belief in your own lie.
