Its called a Negative option contract that you agreed to when you placed your order for the ACAI Berry or Colon Cleanse crap for shipping and handling only.
It does state in the terms and conditions that if you do not cancel within the trial period that starts the day you place your order (not when product is recieved)- you agreed to pay for that FIRST bottle and receive future bottles and charges to your credit/debit cards. This is required by law and they count on the CONSUMER not reading them.
If you had read them - you would never have placed your order.
ALWAYS READ THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS BEFORE FILLING OUT FORMS! They are usually located at the very bottom of the homepage! If they are not located at bottom of the homepage - RUN - DON'T WALK away from that site
Always make sure you read their privacy statements as well! This is where they tell you that by using their site you are giving permission to give out your personal info and start receiving unwanted telemarketing calls and spam emails.
FTC Busts 'Free' Sample Scams
Weight-loss supplement makers settle deceptive marketing claims
February 11, 2009
Makers of dietary supplements that lured consumers on the Internet with allegedly deceptive weight-loss claims and bogus "free" sample offers, and then debited their bank accounts or charged their credit cards for continuing shipments without their consent, have agreed to settle Federal Trade Commission charges that they violated federal law.
In one FTC law enforcement action, the defendants claimed their products ? LeanLife PM, Burn Fat 2, Hoodia 66, Hoodia Thin, HoodiaGordonii, and RxZyte ? would help consumers lose weight or improve male sexual function.
To get a "free" sample, consumers provided their account number to pay a shipping and handling fee, unaware that they would be enrolled in a "negative option" continuity program and billed about $100 every few months for recurring shipments of the products unless they cancelled.
In the other case, consumers who ordered a "free" sample of Woman's UltraSlim were asked to provide their credit or debit card account number to pay a shipping and handling fee, unaware that they would be enrolled in a continuity program and charged a monthly fee of almost $30 until they cancelled their enrollment.
All were charged with the following violations of the FTC Act:
? Making false or unsubstantiated weight-loss and related claims;
? Failing to disclose adequately that consumers who order a "free" sample are enrolled in a continuity program, that their accounts will be debited or charged to pay for the program, that they must cancel to avoid extra shipments and debits and charges, and how and when they must cancel to avoid the debits or charges;
? Debiting or charging accounts of consumers who cancelled or tried to cancel, or those who were not adequately informed of the negative option features or terms and conditions, and therefore did not provide express informed consent for the debits or charges.
They also were charged with violating the Electronic Fund Transfer Act and Regulation E by debiting consumers' accounts on a recurring basis without obtaining the required written authorization.
Under the settlements, regarding the marketing of any dietary supplement, food, drug, device, or health-related program or service, or of any product or service by means of a negative option feature, the defendants are barred from misrepresentations, including that a product or service is "free" or without obligation if a charge will be assessed unless the consumer cancels.
Other prohibited misrepresentations include the amount that will be charged, that a consumer will not be charged, the timing or manner of any charge, the length of any trial period before a charge will be made, and that a consumer has authorized a purchase.
The settlement with marketers JAB Ventures, LLC and Jason Brailow imposes a $7,803,425 judgment, all but $610,000 of which is suspended based on their inability to pay.
The settlement with Woman's UltraSlim marketers Complete Weightloss Center, Inc., Terry Guthmiller, and David Guthmiller imposes a $2,532,014 judgment, all but $3,000 of which is suspended due to their inability to pay.
In each case, the full judgment will be imposed if the defendants are found to have misrepresented their financial condition.

Definitely a scam!! And when you call the number, it's a recorded message saying your account is insufficient, so there's no way to cancel the subsciption other than to cancel your credit card, which is what I had to do.
If anyone finds an email or mailing address for this company please let me know. Thanks!

Didn't order the product, but being charged on my CC for it. Disputing charges with CC company, who agree this is a scam. Don't know how they got my number, but it will no longer be valid. Getting the card changed.
| Jackie 2009-07-31 14:56:08 Unknown |
I ordered a sample of colon cleanse was agreed to pay just the shipping charges during the 30-day trial period and afterwhich, my card would be charged the full amount if I did not cancel. I have not received the product and my hard has already been charged 79.00. I did not print out the page that said my order had been successfully completed because most companies will send you a follow-up email. Never received one from them.
| jcg 2009-07-29 18:01:29 Unknown |
this company is called Weightsecrets I think they may be a sub division of Tipperhealth
| bev 2009-07-29 00:34:12 Unknown |

| Wend 2009-07-19 08:32:38 Unknown |
I got a billing for 83.90 US which is 99.87 Can. and have never ordered a thing from this company. I have gotten 2 other charges from Dynamic-Healthsolution and Pure-G-Health. Are they all the same? Using my Visa #
| dumbass 2009-07-18 15:07:27 Unknown |
i saw the add on aol, stated get free colon cleanser for 2.95 shipping, now I have a charge of 79.00 on my credit card. the free cleanser still hasn't showed up. Nothing is free, never.
| darnell 2009-07-17 14:16:26 Unknown |
Yup, I got charged 85.90 from this exact same number. I'm sure its from the company power colon cleanse! This is fraud! Do not buy anything from that company & dispute any charges & cancel your credit card or they will continue to make charges.
