This company is very very misleading. I chose the one time payment option of $79.75, think I was saving about $20 from what the average amount I pay when ordering this medication.

I tried to follow their website instructions to order meds, but could not. I immediately cancelled my membership and asked for a refund via email, stating I received no service or benefit from the website. My account was charged a few days later. I finally recevied an email 3 days after my account was charged telling me the account was cancelled and my money would be refunded in 5-12 business days.

That was March 4, 2005. Today is April 14. I have now been told this same info over the phone, over the live chat and in 3 different emails and the money has still not been refunded.

I asked for a physical address via email & was told she was unsure of the physical address, as they only contact customers through email.

It is amazing to me what people will do nowadays to earn a paycheck - knowing what they are doing is wrong!

EDitor's Suggestions on how to get your money back!

HERE IS WHAT RIP-OFF REPORT SUGGESTS YOU DO:

Go to your bank within 60 days of the charge, or as soon as you know about the charge, don't delay, and tell them that there has been fraudulent activity within your account. Explain that you wish to file a dispute, and demand that they assist you in accordance with Federal Regulation E.

According to the majority of victims interviewed by Rip-off Report, those who immediately called their banks to dispute the charges did not get very far. Many victims got the following responses from their banks: we could not do anything for you or you waited too long; it has been more than 60 days.

If the bank is says that you have waited too long, explain to them how you called their 800 number as soon as the charges were found, and were told by the bank that nothing could be done. Remind the bank that they failed to assist you properly at the 800 #, and instead, provided you with an inadequate explanation of your right to dispute. Tell the bank that it's their fault time has expired, and since they gave you the wrong info to begin with, they will just have to deal with it, take the loss and reverse the charges.

Tell them the truth; this was unauthorized and your account was NOT to be charged! Keep emphasizing how you never authorized anything! Direct them to the hundreds of victims reports that were filed on Rip-off Report.com. And if you're at the bank, walk them over to their computer and make them go to this site! If you are on the phone with them, tell them you will wait while they access this site! Either way, be persistent!

DO NOT TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER!

Let them know nicely, that you were advised to Report them (the Bank) and this situation to the Banking Commission in your state. Since each state has a different name for the agency/controller over banks, find that name before you call or get to the bank so you can throw it in their face. The more knowledgeable you appear to be, the further you will get.

And just continue to demand the Federal Regulation E form! The bank CAN, MUST and WILL reverse the charge! But, you must be persistent; ask to speak to the supervisor or the area manager for all the branches in the state.

Let the bank personnel know you are meeting with the media later in the day, that you would much rather they do the right thing (as most other banks have) by looking at the complaints and immediately reversing the charge(s) to your account; no matter how long ago it was. Be sure to call the Media if necessary so you are telling the truth.

If you have to, be loud (but nice) in front of other customers. If you are just calling by phone, the above tactics should still work. The bank can easily fax or mail to you the Federal Regulation E dispute form.

CHARGES TO YOUR CREDIT CARD

If the charge was to your credit card (not debit card, check card, or checking account), contact the credit card company as soon as possible to request a dispute form. Consumers usually have a little longer to dispute fraudulent credit card charges (up to 6 months), but it is better to act right away. In this type of situation, credit card disputes are usually successful since fraudulent companies often won't contest the disputed charge. In rare cases, credit card companies will review disputes, but refuse to reverse the charges. If this occurs, complain to a manager and let them know you will be filing a report here.

Remember Don't let them get away with it! Make sure they make the Rip-off Report .. The more Reports filed on a Company or individual, the more likely it is that the authorities, media and attorneys will want to take action.

And good luck Let us know how you do!

Even More of a Rip Off than I thought

Well here we are, now over 60 days & still waiting for my refund. I emailed them again this morning. While I'll admit it could have been a more friendly email, the response I received was even more unbelievable then the many emails they have sent saying the money was refunded. After receiving this response, I emailed back asking for the name & contact info of this so called bank & I will email again & ask why I was not informed of this at any time during the past 60 days?

Hello

Unfortunately, the bank that processed your transaction is holding funds that are due to us. They are refusing to give any refunds to our customers. There is nothing we can do to get your refund from the bank, as they are holding our money. Again, I apologize for the inconvenience.
