AcaiBerry detox Beauty sculpt scam

I took advantage of a FREE trial of AcaiBerry Detox and Colon cleanse.The trial was for 14days but they were presently sending a 30day supply. I had to pay 99pence per bottle p&p.which I paid to GetStronger on21st Oct by NatWest credit card.
Today I received my credit card bill & find that in addition to the 2x p&p payments 2 paymentsof £75.01 had been taken from my account on 7th November by a Co called Beauty Sculpt. I didn't know this Co.. I phoned Nat West and it was clear that they knew this Co.They told me that my free sample came with terms & conditions showing that if I didn't cancell my agreement within 14 days I would be charged for the samples & the Co. would send further supplies each month and charge me for them. Nat west advised me to phone the Co.and cancell.
I phoned the Co. to cancell & was told this had been done butwhen I asked for a refund of the £150.00 which I thought had been taken Under false pretences I was told they dont do refunds.When I asked to speak to someone more senior I was told that they dont take calls.I said I wanted to make a complaint & the person told me she only did cancelations & she hung up.
I phoned Nat west as I did not feel confidant that my "agreement" had been cancelled and I thought it would be wiser to cancell my card, only to be told that if the agreement hadn't been canceled the amounts would be paid from any new card I might hold.So now I am waiting for a form from Nat west for me to complete & return to ask them not to pay this Co.
Has anyone else been had by this Co.& if so did you manage to get your money back? I am a pensioner and can ill afford to lose £150.00. Does anyone know if trading standards would take it up? It was a Google add could they be part resposible for a missleading add in the same way that a newspaper woul?:confused::mad:
