Free sample for $4.99 sounded appealing. Now I'm wondering what is in the pills if the company is not reputable....It's an autoship program and they hit you up for $139. Most people are savvy enough to call and stop it but they stated they "will not return the money because I signed up for this" There was no language to indicate it was an autoship. Good luck finding a phone number to cancel the product...it isn't on the billing label, return address or material they ship you. Someone put a lot of thought into getting access to our money. On the plus side, they send you a little purple plastic carrying case for the pills....

You stated in your report "Good luck finding a phone number to cancel the product..." ummm YOU listed a phone number at the top of your own report.

I pulled this from their Terms and Conditions, which you agreed to when you signed up for the trial:

Cancellation of CM. You may cancel your CM at any time if you are not completely satisfied To cancel your CM at any time, you must contact customer service by contacting us via telephone at 800-440-4397. Please have your e-mail address and other Registration Data available for efficient processing of your cancellation order. However, *******unless you are canceling within to the 10 Day Guarantee as set forth hereinabove, we will not refund any amounts previously paid up to the date of cancellation or termination, you shall not receive any pro-rata refund for partial months and you remain liable for any and all unpaid charges billed by us.*******

You ALSO said "There was no language to indicate it was an autoship." Actually YES there was...had you bothered to read the TErms and Conditions you were agreeing to, you would have seen:
