Acai Berry complaint by Renee17

I am always on the computer paying bills or browsing through ebay to see what new deals i can get. One day when i was on the computer I saw an advertisement for a diet pill called the acai berry. It claimed that it was featured on the Oprah show and had also helped other celebrities like Britney Spears lose weight. The fee for the product was just shipping and handling of $5.95, so I decided to try it. So after I paid for the mercahandise, a week or two later I recieved the pill in the mail. I eagerly opened the package and began looking for an instruction card. I was unable to find any directions. So, I began taking the pills. After a week or so I wasn't feeling any different. I put the pills aside and forgot about them for awhile since after all i had only lost $5.95. About a week later I was checking my balance on my bank card, and noticed there was a withdrawl of $88 and then some. I quickly began searching through my records only to find that in addition to my $88 charge I also had a $79 charge. I tried calling the customer service number that was on my receipt invoice only to find a busy signal. My two sisters also had purchased the "free trial" and were charged outrageous dollar amounts without there authorization as well. They too began caling the customer service number to try to recieve a refund and cancel the product. Only one of my sisters was able to get through, and the company would not let her cancel and only continued to try to sell her more phony products. I did reserach on the internet to try to see if this was a major scam, and found that tons of other people had been through the same ordeal. My sisters and I ended up having to completely change our bank accounts and put blocks on our accounts, as it was the only way to stop the company from taking money from us.

I went through the same ordeal. Today I get a call saying that I owe more money, and if I don't pay it, they'll turn me over to a collection agency. I asked them to send me a bill and then I hung up. He called back and said "your $44 debt kist became $134. The third party will collect." I told him I had asked for a bill, and he hung up. What now????
