I ordered a trial of Acai Direct. It is supposed to help you lose weight. I heard the ad on the radio, so I was more inclined to trust the company and just impulsively ordered the trial, as it was only $4.95. About a week ago I called the toll free number to cancel the trial [ (866) 951-0371] and got a busy signal. This was a red flag for me because I've never called any toll free number and got a busy signal. I thought it was a scam and went home to find out I was right.
I couldn't find any report on here for Emmediate health, so I went to my bank statement and it says Emmediate success as the name of the company. I searched for Emmediate success and found 1 report from about one month ago 4/30/09 that is on this website. I think they are a new company and most likely part of a much larger scam syndicate that needs to be taken down. They are registered on the BBB's website, but have no rating. The company was incorporated in August and already has 3 unauthorized charge complaints on the bbb's report for them.
I have not been charged for anything more than the $4.95, yet. My trial ends on the 28th, today is the 26th. The website that is on the bottle has a link to "Terms and Conditions" and "Privacy Policy". Both of these links are dead. There is no email address and the toll free number is dead. It is also the same number that is listed on the BBB.
The websites are www.emmediatehealth.com and www.emmediate-grants.com. See for yourself. They have a very similar design. Emmediate grants is the website for Emmediate success, but it's all the same company.
I don't know what to do and I don't know how much my card is going to be charged. I think that it's more money than is even in my account right now, and I'll get overdrawn on my account, won't be able to pay my water bill and my water will get shut off, because of these scammers.
