I'm afraid we're screwed, basically. I ordered the acai berry "free trial" and the colon cleanse "free trial".
I hit the "please rush my order" button, because I fell for the Rachel Ray, Oprah, Dr. Oz name dropping.
I wrongly believed it had to be legitimate. IF it didn't work for me, I had only spent $2+ and $4+ in S&H.
I never received the acai or the colon cleanse. Yesterday (Feb 5/09) I discovered a charge of $78.84
on my debit acct. from "MASTERCLEANSE". I have contacted my bank to change my card number to
prevent further charges (a MUST) or the debits will continue. So, if you've already lost money,
take DRASTIC action NOW to prevent further loss!! I have learned an expensive lesson, and do not believe
I will ever see a refund. However, I have contacted the state Attorney General and the BBB to report
this cyber scam. I did get a phone #1-866-320-0038 for "Total Cleanse" aka SFL Nutrition. I spoke
with a less- than- credible operator, who made all sorts of maneuvers to appease me. I insisted he
send a confirmation of cancellation by email while we remained on the phone, with a confirmation #.
He did so. He stated that the $78.84 would be electronically credited back into my account within 10
days. I have no reason to believe him.....fool me once, shame on them.....twice, shame on me. I will
say also, that hindsight is 20/20. I've investigated (too little, too late) and found that the same pop-up
ad w/photo of girl w/curly sandy brown hair & glasses advertising the free trials, states a different name
and "home town story" at every site. (i.e. Nichole, Meg, Amy, Julianna's diet blog). Furthermore, I've now
read numerous comments on this scam. There seem to be several "bottom feeders" commenting the
most inappropriate views toward those of us who were scammed. It just furthers my fundamental belief
that the internet gives a global stage to those who wish to do bad things to good people.
