    Same sitch'. No refunds. Other than the cash rip off did the product work for anyone? Since I did end up paying 89.31 for it, I might as well take it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

    I too subscribed to their ad on the internet thinking it sounded like a healthy way to drop some weight so I decided to TRY their trial offer.

    But they charged me $89.00 before I could even see if their product worked or not and when I tried to cancel I couldn't get through to customer service as it just kept me on hold and then eventually the phone would disconnect.

    This is so dishonest to promise something with the intention just to rip people off. Lessoned learned for me I will never order anything again on the internet which is very too bad for the legitmate companies as I know I am not the only one who feels this way.

    These kind of SCAMS need to be revealed and stopped as it gives the internet a bad name and stops honest companies from delivering honest products to the public.

    I finally got through to them tonight to cancel.  It has been 8 months.  I have called before to cancel but the product kept coming from Davie, FL. The person tonight gave me a cancellation number and said they would refund for one bottle and that was all.  I have to call them with my confirmation number when I mail it from the PO!  I am going to file with my credit card company and see what happens.

    I just talked with my credit card company.  This company is off shore, probably St Kitts. He is reversing 4 months tonight but I must write them to get the other 4 months reversed.  They cannot leagally do this to persons. I sell credit card processing and if the company has not had your charge card in their possession(so it can be swiped), if you dispute the charge, the credit card company will do a reverse.  There have been four different names billing me for the $89.31.  Always buy mail order with a credit card, never a debit card or check number.  That way, your credit card company can become your best friend.

    businesses like this one hate to be approached or reproached by the BBB.org or the States Attorneys office.  I too have felt the burn

    I have to close my card too, the phone number they give in my statement, was a fraud, I tried to call but the helpdesk person said they never charge me and they do not have my name on their records, neither do they have a product with that amount of $89.31 under IP-MYBODYPHYSIQUE their contact number given 8887717028 and the address they are now using is:

    Fullfillment
    4650 SW 51st St., Bay 711
    8012087485
    Davie FL 33314

    I hope the FBI would step into this by tracing the person mailing the product in USPS

    Call your card company and report fraud so they will stop payments. this way you dont have to cancel your card also the fraud department looks into it. Thats what I did. Lucky me I only got took for 3.95. Thought something was up when I tried to call the number to cancel the day after I received it. I just wanted the free trial. The numbers they give are all fake even the one your credit card place has.

    "Buyer beware!  Read the small print before you give out your card number to anyone."

    That's the message from my bank. My wife ordered the trial sample of Colon Cure, followed their communication procedure, and cancelled the order within 11 days of the purchase.  She was given a cancellation verification number by "someone in authority" and then we were still billed 5 days later for an automatic shipment.  I've spent the entire morning on hold with the scammers and they now deny that any cancellation took place and they say no such verification number exists.  

    I did the only other thing within my control, and cancelled my card.

    My bank is building a case, but it will take time and has to include an attempt to return the product (IF I receive it).  Fulfillment, that's the name of the company on the return address of the sample product.  Who knows the real company, or where they're located?

    Someone here mentioned a class action suit.  That's a great idea, and probably the only way these people can be stopped.  In the meantime, follow my bank's advice, as well as the advice of others on this complaint forum.  Never give out your credit/debit card number to people like this without reading the small print.

    I ordered the "free" ACAI BERRY 500.  A week later they charged my account $89.95, plus another $8.00 from another company.  They have promised my money back since November.  Haven't seen anything.  AND, thank God, they never sent the product.  After reading your story, I realized I was lucky.  They sent the initial bottle for 3.95 but I haven't even opened it.  

    I just tried calling them again -- the phone disconnects as soon as it goes through.

    I guess I learned a lesson the hard way.

    I too was suckered into ordering a trial bottle for $4.95.  A few days later I see a charge on my bank account for $89.31.  I am old enough to know better.  The bank won't reverse the charge as it says in fine print they will charge you account after 14 days.  What a scam.  The person you talk to can't speak english so you can't figure out where or how to send the crap back.  An expensive lesson learned.  No more internet buys for me.  It should be illegal what they do.  There is no hope of getting a refund the the crap.

    I was too!  I made the freebie offer on 1/2/09, it was sent on 1/20/09 and I received it on 1/27/09.  My bank account was charged on the day they sent it out - 1/20/09 - the date sent is on the envelope printed on their label.  How can you have a trial when you have no product.  I called and talked to Cindy the first time and later a fellow whose name I could not understand but said he was a top agent!!!  I asked that he give me his supervisor and of course his supervisor was out - sure!!  I was charged the $89.31 plus an international cross border fee - also was signed up for the Fit newsletter.  So, even at my age I got taken.

    I have the same problem, I received the trial bottle of AcaiBurn and Colon Cure, plus was signed up for 4 different memberships (costing between $5 and $10 each).  I was also charged the $89.31.  All of the memberships were cancelled, but not refunded.  The Colon Cure will not allow me to return the product for a refund!   HELP!!!  I was hung up on twice by the company after I finally got through to them and was told that there were no supervisors available.  Here is the number I got through on   1-866-219-6365  I hope everyone calls and gives them a hard time.  I didn't get any satisfaction from anyone I talked to.  Bad telephone connection and people with really strong accents that were impossible to understand.  STOP These People!!!!!

    I too got suckered into two scams.  I ordered samples of ACAI NONI, received the samples and then a mo later a bill for $79.95 which I didn't authorize. Call them and they keep telling me my subscription has been cancelled and my money will be coming --- but no money.  I also ordered samples of ColonCure, got the samples for $3.95 and then in a mo they charged my account $89.31.  Like someone else said, the phone number does not answer and there is no way you can get ahold of them. They have a phone number that is a conference center and you have to have a password to get into it - and Heaven only knows what the password is.  My bank has cancelled my debit card and issued a new one.  Lesson learned.  I'm going to check with the BBB and also with a couple senators from our state.

    this is quite interesting. Thome phone number that you indicated is the same as the one on the bottle of ColonCure that I ordered, however it is not the same name as the one you mentioned. I also cancelled, but seemed to have had a little more luck.

    I am a SUCKER too!
    I also was suckered!! Who do we contact to get these places checked out. They are also giving out our info to other companies because I had a 3rd charge on my bank statement for $19.95 which I did not give permission. Never heard of the company MytrainerMydiet.com. Anyway I called Colan Cure and Trislim last week and demanded my refund and the guy I spoke to said he would refund and today I looked at my account and only 1/2 was refunded so I did get confirmation that the other 1/2 would be refunded. What a headache! I also called my bank and canceled my bank card so no other charges could be taken out of my account. Keep a good eye out on your bank account. Change your card at your bank and also your bank can look into these companies. Let me know if anyone knows what or who we can turn these sites into.

    They sent me two bottles and told me I needed to of cancealed my order after 2 weeks...each bottle was 80 something.  I now have other charges on my account which my bank and I are fighting and I cancealed my debit card rather than to worry about any other charges.  They are def rip offs and what kills me I got their sites off a news channel page.
