Re: ATTORNEY ADVERTISING<br />
<br />
My name is Sean McGrew, and I’m a Legal Assistant to attorney Dan Bryden, with the law offices of Sprenger + Lang. We are conducting an investigation of consumer complaints against online companies selling acai berry products alleging fraudulent practices surrounding charging of credit cards. In the past, persons have posted on this blog regarding their issues with such companies. If you would be interested in assisting with our investigation, please contact me at [email protected]. Thank you.

My advice to everyone taken in by this scheme is to change your charge card number so these scam companies can't put more charges to your account. That's what I just did. I've been "round and round" with three companies today (which was surprising as I'd only purchased acai samples from two) and cancelled accounts I did NOT know I'd signed up for... and am getting refunds. The only ones they won't refund are the ones they charged right after I requested the "SAMPLE"...and that was the first billing for which I never received the product. From what I've read in this blog, that is typical of those companies... they charge your card that first month but don't send a product. That way they think you can't protest when they send the product and bill you the second month. They think. Two companies even told me the USPS verified that the first product had been delivered to my address. I never got it... only the one that was in my mailbox this morning. I contacted my credit card company and they're sending paperwork for me to protest the original charges. I'm also filing a report with my local police department and with the better business bureau.

This company is another diet scam, after canceling order was charged $29.95 showed up on bank statement unautherzied. Was told would be charged $1.00 for shipping and handling for a free product. Product did arrive and had 7 pills inside. If not canceled in 14 days . credit card would be charged 89.95 every 31 days. this was in fine print on web site. Site stated is was on ophey winfrey show. Hope others read these complaints.
