Complaint Review: LEANLIFE2 - BURNFAT2 - HOODIA - BUMFAT HOODIA2 - ONTARIO California

I had ordered a free trial of leanlife2, thru a internet site call "infoeversave". They offer you free trial of differnt samples with you just paying the shipping and handling. I recieved the free sample, with nothing in the bag but the trial size of the leanlife2. no literature, or anything to say i belonged to some membership.

A few days later i recieved a bigger bag, with a different returned address, to which i did not reconize, so i sent the package back. On may 9th, i recieved my credit card statement showing another name, burnfat2, and was charged $ 97.41. i did not authorize this charge, nor did i know who they were.

I called the number of the company that was on my credit card statement(((ROR recacted phone number for security purposes))) and asked to speak to a supervisor. all i got was the run around with a man named paul, and he kept on saying that all the supervisor were busy. but he will rush over to one asap, and have the supervisor call me back. didnt happened!

called again on may 17, and talked with a christian. again, got no where, and he too would turn my name into a supervisor to have them call me back. didnt happen.

i have called may 15, june 19.june 26, and always the same thing, nothing! also, i had asked each of them at these companies if the package came back, and naturally that cant seem to find it, and that i did not return it, i was just making that up, as told to my credit card company.

My credit card company called to say that another charge came thru under the name of " bumfat hoodie 2". this charge was for $ 49.99, i couldnt believe it. the charge was dated june 14, and i have yet to recieve a box.

I immediatly called my credit card company and cancelled the card that got my number. Nowhere have i found thru internet site where they advertise for a free trial, any terms or condtion or diclosers.

Ii am very upset that this can happen, and that it takes going thru hoops to get someone to do something about it.

these companies i have mentioned are all rip-offs, and seems to find new company names every day.

Wwhat ever company is charging me, total is $ 147.40 plus my $1.99 for the free trial sample that i am returning. can anyone help!!! thank you,

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!
