Product not ordered or requested by me
Today, 16 Mar. 2009, within my USPS mail delivery I received a package w e/ USPS Delivery Confirmation No. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 0531 58 as sent by shipper "Shipping Manager(1-866-949-0138)", 3007 Green St., Hollywood, FL 33020, but I did not recognize the shipper of this package to me; so I opened the package to see what was inside -inside this package I found one container marked "ACAI BERRY DETOX (Distributed by: FWM Laboratories, Hollywood, FL 33020) and small printed paper insert that only gave contact information: Our 24 hour support line is 866-949-0138 but absent any billing, invoice, packing slip, who ordered this product.
So, I called the 1-866-949-0138 telephone number and asked why I had received this package I did not order, but the person on the other end of this telephone conversion could only offer to take may name, wanted to get my e-mail address (which I did not give), and said that the 'shipping manager' would get back to me because I told this shipper of this product if I did not receive a reply telephone call to my home phone by this Thursday, 19 Mar. 2009 with the remedy for this product that I did not order; as a result, I would file a complaint with United States Postal Inspection Service.
Thereafter, Same day, 16 Mar. 2009 I went to my local USPS Post Office and discussed this unsolicited package sent to me and the process to file a complaint with the U.S. Postal Inspection Service on Thursday, 19 Mar. 2009 if I have not received a remedy from this product shipper; as a result, the U.S. Post Office gave me the telephone number for Postal Inspector contact and I had the USPS counter person place a USPS date state on the outside of this shipping package that I received today; it follows, to to maintain continunity in facts -for example, what happened when and who I had talked to in a logical events progression towards solution of this item I did not order.
So, then I return home and just decide to do an Internet search using the search term '33020' and I find this http://www.complaintsboard.com as a possible search result, so here I am with my complaint story as it is progressing also.
But then, since about a week ago VISA contacted me with a frad-alert related to my VISA card with some charges; as a result, today I called back VISA with information about what I had just received today, 16 Mar. 2009, within my USPS mail delivery and what I had now discovered from my Internet search result (as you will find right-here within this website); it follows, other people have had some VISA experiences with this same zip code shipper of products. So, with my supplemental information given to VISA contact with additional information to support the VISA fraud division research into my own VISA transactions past; as a result, I hope this helps stop these unsolicited product shipping practices? We'll all know more later.
So, that is my story about this shipper of a product I did not order and my actions I have taken the day I received a package and content I did not order.

FRAUD - BILLING ISSUES
THIS IS A SCAM. Basically my story is like all the others I've been reading on this site. It all started on 12/23/2008 and I've yet to hear a peep from anyone. I finally filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and was told yesterday 3/10/2009, that my file was closed due to the "company" not responding to ALL of the complaints against them. I have also filed a complaint with the Consumer Protection folks, which is the only thing left to do if the BBB can't do anything.
I can't believe that nobody can help all the folks being scammed out of their money. $87.13 might not be a lot to some people but it's my hard-earned money and I don't think this Brian Weiss character (contact person for FWM Labs) has the right to have it.
I really hope there is some resolution for everyone out there. I'm SO angry that I will continue to fight this. I've also learned a lot about my bank and the way they process investigations for unauthorized charges.
DO NOT ORDER ANYTHING FROM THESE PEOPLE. They shut down websites and email addresses faster than water going down the drain!! The customer service people are also horrible and they will lie to you. If you ask for a supervisor, good luck, you never get one. The longest I waited for one to pick up my call was 56 minutes.

Fraud
After reading complaints from other people - I realized I wasn't the only one ripped off.
On 2/17/09 I placed an order online from Acai Berry Detox. The trial offer was for a 30 day supply of product with a 30 day money back guarantee. The trial stated I would be billed immediately $2.00 for the product and $1.95 for shipping, totaling $3.95. The website specifically states 30 day money back guarantee. There is even a gold certificate claiming this statement.
On 3/4/09 (15 days after the original purchase) I was charged $87.13 on my credit card. I immediately called Acai Berry Detox and they told me all they could do was cancel my subscription. I never signed up for a subscription, I signed up for a $2.00 trial offer with a 30 day money back guarantee! I told the representative that I wanted a refund and I’d mail the product back. She said no, all they were able to do was cancel my subscription (which I did).
They misrepresented themselves with the 30 day money back guarantee and fraudulently charged my credit card without authorization.
Beware - they're a rip off!
