If they are US based you can also report them to the FTC using an online form (even if you are in the UK) https://www.FTC.gov"The happiest of people don't necessarily have the

Another mug here. I have just noticed some odd little transactions on my bank account of a small dollar amounts and had no idea where they were coming from. I stupidly missed the 14-day deadline to cancel but can't find anything in my conformation email telling me how to actually cancel. I've now received 2 further shipments of the darn pills. I just tried to get on their website but am getting a 404 error or an Apache is working message.
Do I just have to ring up to cancel ?0 -
Oprah's company (Harpo) is finally taking legal action against Acaiburn and several other acai scams. See:

i too fell for this scam, i have so far los over £105 in the last couple of weeks. however i cannot find the details of the company so i can get out of this mess. does anybody have a number or address i could have? really loosing sleep over this as i have lost my job and cant afford this.0

Blimey, I am so surprised to see this whole forum about those bl....diet pills.
I fell for it too and even though I have cancelled my order over the phone and received a cancellation number, I found out at the end of AUgust that money was taken out from my bank account after I cancelled. My bank confirmed that closing this account and opening a new one or change my debit card will not solve this....it is only small amounts they take out, but still...I have notyified the bank and was told I would get the money back but I'm happy for every advice.
I also got in contact with the said company, but obviously, they blame it on not having read the conditions properly....
There is nothing to be ashamed about, either, I reckon we'll have to learn from this, I'm just p..... off by this !
