I ordered GNS' Slim Seduction to get flair points on my Myspace. (I know - stupid!) I figured it would only cost me 3.97 and hey, don't we all need to lose a couple pounds? I read everything, word for word, even the fine print. I was aware of the auto-ship but I had intended on cancelling it before my 21 day trial was up so no big deal, right? Wrong. I did cancel, I called 2 days before they were supposed to bill me the $79.90 (which is bogus too - the form online said 45).
When I called, I was informed that they had to receive the product back in that 21 day time period. Well, I didn't even get it for ten days. I would've had to ship it right back as soon as I got it. It never said that anywhere, I made sure! I found my way to this website and the reports I read said that GNS was claiming to never receive the shipments back. I printed off those reports and went to my bank, JPMorgan Chase.
The banker there put in a stop payment request for the $79.90 to GNS. She said she wasn't sure it would go through because they typically need 3 days. I was ready to close my account but we decided to report my debit card as lost instead. God bless her because nothing has went through and it was supposed to 5 days ago. They didn't have my account #, only my debit card #. It was worth waiting 4 days for a new card to avoid giving those crooks 80 dollars! It would've been worth closing my account too, glad I didn't have to do that. Go to your bank, let them know what's going on. If your card has been reported lost or stolen, or if there is no longer an account, they can't get your money!
The other thing that concerns me about this company is this - they're making people send it back, how many people had these pills before I got them? That little plastic band around the neck of the bottle is easily replaced, who knows how many times they've repackaged pills that have been handled by someone else! You hope they're throwing them away - highly unlikely! I know the FDA doesn't get involved with "supplements" but somebody needs to check this company out to make sure their product is sterile and not handled by 100 people. Creeps put blades in halloween candy, who's to say some creep wouldn't put anthrax or something similar in those pills and return them?
I hope this helps some of you! The reports I read helped me decide to run to the bank immediately, and I avoided the high cost. Good luck to those of you dealing with GNS, you're gonna need it!
P.S. I threw their stupid pills away! I checked with UPS - $9.00 to ship them back with tracking (don't do it without, they won't get them back, so they say). They cost me enough having to hassle with it all, they're not getting my money or their pills!
