FWM Laboratories "Free" Sample costs me 87.13 Hollywood Florida
I ordered a free sample of the AcaiBerryDetox on 2/13/09. Did not receive it f until around the end of February and called company to cancel possible auto ship of next bottle on March 4. They gave me a cancelation number and I thought all was done.
Later that same day I logged onto my bank account and found an $87.13 debit from this company. I called back to see what this was for and they told me that it was a charge for my original "free" sample. I was being charged because I had not called them within 14 days of "ordering" the sample to make my cancelation.
I explained that I had called within 14 days of "receiving" the product and asked how could I cancel something that was a sample until after I had tried it? I asked for a supervisor but was told that it was company policy and no one would tell me differently. She then hung up on me. I canceled my check card to guarantee that no other charges would follow.

IF THEY CHARGE MONEY FOR POSTAGE AND HANDLING THEN THE SAMPLE IS NOT REALLY FREE!

AND THEY MAKE IT SO INCREDIBLY EASY TO USE YOUR CHARGE CARD TO PAY THAT POSTAGE --THE ONLY THING THAT STANDS BETWEEN YOU AND THIS WONDERFUL, MIRACULOUS SAMPLE...
THIS IS A SCAM DESIGNED TO GET YOUR CREDIT CARD NUMBER.
IF IT ASKS YOU FOR A CREDIT CARD NUMBER IT IS NOT REALLY FREE -- NOT AT ALL.
AND YOU SHOULD LEARN TO NEVER PUT YOUR CREDIT CARD ONLINE OR TO GIVE IT OUT ON THE PHONE.
THE INTERNET IS CRAWLING WITH SCAM ARTISTS.
