Life Cleanse Scam: WARNING!

I can't believe I fell for this; my only excuse is that it has never happened to me before.
I bought a product called Life Cleasnse, which is supposed to be a colon cleanser, from a company called viv3 labs.
It was a free trial; I cancelled within the timeframe requested and thought that was the end of it, but they went on to debit £75 from my card and are not responding to emails since.
I am not the only one.
Here is a complaint site about this firm, with many similar compaints:

I have sent a complaint to Watchdog but I doubt that they will do anything, as this will not make good TV. They are not exactly going to televise the product NOT cleansing our colons!
Anything else I can do?
A total scam.

Well you could ask your debit card provider whether or not they would do a chargeback.
I realise that this is not congruent with the new fluffy MSE Forum but a colon cleanser? What's wrong with having a good dump?0 -

Before you ask about a chargeback you should check the terms and conditions, I bet somewhere in the very small print that they can do this. Not good but been seen before.I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.0 -
I just got an email form tem saying I had to cancel within 7 days.
Well, I cancelled within 7 days. I'm going to worry this thing till I get my money back!0 -
Yes, but I bet you had to click on a box saying you agreed to their terms and conditions, on the website when you ordered.I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.0
