  • Acai Berry Company Shutdown

    About 30 internet companies based in the UK have been shut down in the public interest by the High Court after thousands of complaints.

    About time too.

  • Oh dear, i feel even worse now to find that this has been going on for two years and I have just got cuaght by it. The only reason I searched was becuase of the despatch note address being;

    PO Box 13579
    Linlithgow
    EH49 9AH
    UNITED KIGDOM

    I searched that and found this, unfortunately I had already signed up and been charged over £71.

    The company billing names are Diet Max and Better Health and I fear they are still in operation just using a different company name.

    So I now have to find a way to esnure I cancel my subscription although this seems very hard as the phone numbers are not accessible.

    HHow could i be so foolish :(

    Cheers, Shire
  • I phoned [FONT=&quot]00 1 8888692674 and after 27mins (it was a poor line) I got them to cancel my subscription, although I never knew I signed up to anything in the first place, which is clearly misleading, but nevermind the important thing was to do everything I could to show my willingness to their Ts&Cs again what Ts&Cs ? I have not seen anything from them on this.

    They sent me an e-mail which again wasn't simple, the password supplied was in uppercase but it would only accept lowercase, they wanted a name of the person who I talked to and they didn't recognise my UK phone number, so had to use a US number, the only one I could think of was theirs.

    I eventually maneged to submit the form, and had an acknowledgement webpage, but not yet recieved the confirmation e-mail :(

    Also I belive I have cancelled both, the Diet Max and Better Health, but can't be totaly sure becuase I only recieved one e-mail.

    This has been a nightmare, I just hope people searching the net come across this site before making the same mistake. The product was Cleanse Aware and Acai Max Cleanse.

    Cheers, Shire

    I am sure they will be very interested to hear that this scam is still operating under another name as they are the poeple who shut down the original one last year!
