Eight Squared - Berkeley Premium Nutraceuticals(Avlamil) Fraud Scam Raleigh North Carolina
I ordered a supposed "free 30 day sample" of AVLAMIL with Eight Squared - Berkeley Premium Nutraceuticals. What they don't tell you when you do so is that you are automatically signed up for their "Managed Care Direct" program that will automatically charge your debit/credit card for $70.00 every 2 mos. How did they get my card number you ask??? ... They claim they cannot send the product out because they must first charge the card for shipping & Handling. This by the way came out to $9.99.
I'm now trying to get ahold of someone to cancel this order and lo and behold... it's like pulling teeth!! First off, on their pamphlet that is sent to you, the 800-834-1715 number they give you refers you to a "900" # that charges $9.99. Not even a live person answers this number. Then I call another 800 # on the reverse side of the package. Well, this is a real number, only thing is...it's not Eight Squared-Berkeley's.
THIS IS A FRAUD AND SCAM!!! But I intend on fighting them and getting answers. If I can't trust them to give correct phone numbers... how do I know what "their" AVLAMIL consists of???

In response to the person that claimed the Avlimil website is a ripoff, I recently submitted an order for the free 30-day supply. When I did so, I was immediately informed at the website that I would be put on a maintenance program where I would receive a 2 month supply every other month for $70.00, plus shipping and handling. I was also provided with an email address to send requests if I desired to cancel my subscription. I think this is a matter of someone not reading everything before confirming an order. The print was small and took just a few seconds of scanning the page that popped up to know what was going on. I don't have the email address, since I had subscribed in the past and was very satisfied with the product. I know that I was able to cancel my subscription before, without calling a 900 number and with no additional charges. I didn't cancel because I wasn't satisfied with the product, but only that my financial situation at the time would not allow a $35/month expense.
