Direct Alternatives , Original Organics, Final Trim They charged me the next month $79.90 and I didn't receive any other bottles of final trim. I did not sign up for on going shipments. Portland Maine
I was driving trhoroug TN an heard an add on the radio that said boost your metobolism natural with green tea and other natural ingredients like Konjac root with they say it is natural fiber. They say it's safe any all natural or I would never have called and I thought that FDA had to check all product to make sure they was safe for humans to take. Guess not because they are selling it and it has not been approved by them, that's what the bottle says on it. I drink green tea alot so I thought this product was good for you as well. I have never taken any diet product in my life but I wanted to lose about 15-20 that I gained with my pregnancy from over 2 years ago and had not lost and I thought this would be prefect because it was natural. The add on the radio said frist 100 callers get 2 bottles for just $7.95 shipping charge so I called and they tried to get me to sign up for monthly shipments and I said no, it was an automated system and they try to sell other products as well and I said no. So I took final trim and then missed my period so I stopped taken them and took pregancy test and it was postive. Never took any more of them, only did it for a few weeks but did not lose not one pound in those few weeks. I took 2 pills a day as they instruct you to do. I started having bleeding and just a few days ago I had a miscarriage. I don't know if Final Trim it had anything to do with this or not but I can tell you this is the frist time this has happen and we have 5 children. So I went to the interrnet and started searching about Final Trim and people was saying they did not lose weight either and they would charge there card again, even though just like me they did not sign up to receive addional bottles of Final Trim and they would call the customer service number and they would get nasty with them. So I called my credit card toask if they have done the same thing to me and they had charged me $79.90 on May 10, so my credit card company 3 waied the call to them and was recording it and he tried to say I did sign up but I know for a fact I kept saying no to automactic system and I told him to play it for us where I did said yes and he got mad. Make long story short they told me to send the unused bottle back and they would refund me $79.90 from May 10 and would not charge me any more from this day on. I don't think I would of gotten the success I did if it was not for my credit card company being right there on the phone with me recording it. She was great. I am going to have my OBGYN check to see if this was in fact related to my miscarriage. Are hearts are broken and it has been very hard to deal with.
