I am a 31 year old Accountant and saw an advertisement that claimed to be associated with Oprah and some other well known celebrities. I decided to try out the trial of the Acai Berry and Colon Clense pills. I marked on my calendar when I needed to call and cancel and made sure I would not be charged the full price.
The Acai Berry pills had information with them when I received them and I was able to call and cancel. But the Colon Clense pills had no paper work with them and no contact information. There was a number on the bottle of pills but no one ever answered.
I searched the internet and couldn't find anything for this PH Media that had to do with Colon Pills. Since I couldn't get anyone on the phone and the company didn't seem to exist I figured they went out of business. When my credit card statememt came in and there was a weird charge on it - my husband thought it was something he had bought.
Then the next month there was the charge again. Mind you - I had not received any more deliveries of pills since the trial bottles arrived. I called the number associated with the charge on my credit card and spoke with a woman in the customer service dept. This was a number I had never had access to before.
I told the woman I had not received any pills and shouldn'e be getting charged. I told her that I was never able to reach anyone at the customer service to cancel. Her response was: "We are here from 9-5 and our records show that you are receiving the deliveries of pills. You will not be refunded." I let her know I'd be taking that up with my credit card company.
I did call them and put in a dispute. So far they have cancelled my card and then told me not to pay the two $89.95 charges that were made by PH Media. They also told me that they have complaints in the 1,000s against this company.
I am hoping to win this dispute. But please beware that this is a major scam!!! I am very surprised that the federal government has not gotten involved in some way - or even Oprah since they seem to keep using her image as a selling point.
Good luck and buyers beware!!!
