I answered an Ad on the internet to try a "Diet Patch" method of losing weight. The Ad said it was a FREE 30 day trial for $1.95 shipping and handling. This was credited to my checking account on 12/27. After receiving them I looked for how much it was going to cost if I wanted to continue the program and there was nothing in the package that gave any information at all. I never saw a price for this product anywhere. If I had seen how expensive it was I never would have even tried the product. Then I noticed on the 10th of January my credit card was charged $89.95 for Diet Patch. I never received anything, I was just charged. When I called the company this morning at 10:25 am, I told them I never received any patches. The man I talked with said "Let me find the tracking number!" What I was being charged for was the "FREE Patches, because I didn't call them and cancel the product. He said I had to do it within 14 days after receiving them. At that point I hadn't even tried them yet. I told him I wanted my money back and he said the best he could do was give me 35% of the cost back. I asked to speak to his supervisor and he said he was as high as I could go. I asked him for his name and he said Chris, Agent #3. I asked if I could speak to someone else and he said they couldn't do any more for me. I told him I definitely did not want any more patches.
I am really upset by this because I feel this whole scheme was false advertising. They never came out and said how much it was and the guy I spoke with told me I had agreed to it when I checked the box that told how much they cost. I did no such thing. I never would have agreed to something that expensive because I am just weeks away from retirement and would not have that kind of money to spend, especially if that was what it was going to cost each month. That's more than I spend on my regular prescription medicine in a month's time. I know I specifically looked for a price and there was none. There was also no information on the product when I received it.
