I saw the free offer on television for Altovis. Altovis is supposed to combat fatigue. I made the call to order the twenty eight day free package to try the product out.
I was told that my credit card would be billed for shipping and handling. If I was not satisfied with the product all I need do was either call or go on the web site to cancel. At know time was I informed that I was signing up for some program that automatically sent out product.
If they had said this I would never have taken the free offer. I tried the product and was not impressed. My husband and I waited the full twenty eight days to see if there was a difference. On May 21st I cancelled via the internet web site. Then another package arrived. I was going to send it back as I assumed my cancellation and their shipment crossed.
Then apon getting my credit card statement I was shocked to see they had billed me $70.00. The little flyer in the free product states, Enclosed is your automatic bi-monthly shipment of Altovis. This shipment was sent to you as a member of Managed Care Direct. It goes on to explain you will be charged if they don't hear from you prior to 5 days before shipment is sent.
What they don't say is in the beginning you just signed up without your approval for a membership that is outrageous. This is consumer fraud. I called their phone number and demanded they credit back the $70.00. Company would only credit back $35.00. They see nothing wrong with their tactics to bait you with a free offer, hook you, and take you to the cleaners for $70.00. An ethical Company would tell you up front about such a membership.
