In early May I saw the ad for a 'free 30 day sample' of Altovis. I called the number on the screen and the operator asked for my banking card number in order to pay for shipping.
I received my sample as promised, but shortly thereafter I received a shipment of the product and a bill for $70. I called the company and spoke with a representative named "Monica".
After explaining what had happened, "Monica" told me that not only did they not want the product returned, but told me I should have refused the product 5 days before it was shipped! I told her I had only requested the sample, but she hung up in my face.
I immediately filed a complaint with my bank, and they issued me a replacement banking card. The bank representative told me that they (Citibank) have received numerous complaints about this same company for the same reasons I described.
I also filed a complaint with the BBB and the FTC. I have notified my friends via email NOT to fall prey to this scam. I have also contacted the Fox Network, but they have not responded. I have since noticed that this and related products (Avlimil, Rogesen, Enzyte) are advertised on Court T.V., NBC, and other networks.
