I purchased some products from GOTBODY.COM and a month later I found an unauthorized credit card charge from lifestyleandfitness.com. I disputed the charge and this is the story. On my check out page there was a prechecked box for a trial subscription to lifestyleandfitness.com. I did not see the box and did not uncheck it. My checkout receipt did not list the trial subscription so I had NO IDEA I had signed up for anything. lifestyleandfitness.com claims to have sent me an e-mail with subscription information. I would have deleted it without opening it if I did receive it since I was not expecting such a notice.

Therefore I missed the 7 day cancellation period and monthly charges started hitting my credit card.

Five months later I am still fighting to get my money back. lifestyleandfitness.com, on the phone, has agreed to reverse the charges because I never logged into the site. However, it has been 30 days since they agreed and I am still not whole. In addition they have told me they are having trouble with their financial institution so random, charges and credits are hitting my credit card. I am still $70 in the hole.

I am furious that a trusted vendor (gotbody.com) would do this to me and will not be doing business with them anymore. I consider this marketing technique unethical on the part of both gotbody.com and lifestyleandfitness.com. I will probably have to cancel my credit card and get a new one.
