acai berry free trial rip off

I can't beleive I have been so stupid either, I requested a free trial of acai berry and colon cleanse on a add I clcked on on Facebook, it took me to a site called slim body extreme I filled in my details for the 'free trail' of acai berry on 14/04/11 and it then took me to another form for the Colon cleanse, it stated I would be charged £2.48 for the P+P charges for the acai berry and £3.98 for the P+P for the colon cleanse and would receive the products in 2-3 days.They took the P+P charges immediately I received the colon cleanse 2 days later but the Acai berry still has not arrived, but on 18th April £55.89 was taken from my bank account by INT'L 0042054740 SLIM BODY EXTREME 866-5842037, I have not received any Acai berry at all, I went back onto the website yesterday to see about cancelling these products and when I click on customer support it give a list of phone numbers for various countries United Kingdom being 441617680104, I tried calling this number and surprisingly enough it says sorry this number is not recognised. I did try putting a prefix of 01 in front for US but again I got unrecognised. Does anyone else know of a number where I can ring to stop these payments being taken from my account. I have contacted my bank and ask them not to make any furher payments to any Internaitional requests and I am waiting for a reply from them. I paid with my debit card not a credit card - has anyone PLEASE got any suggestions or info on this SLIM BODY EXTREME company. I was also directed a one point to a website something called CCBILL consumer support but didnt understand why or what it is, there also seems to be another website involved called fit formula tracker . com I am so confused I dont know how to cancel any of it PLEASE PLEASE CAN SOMEONE HELP ME many thanks

    Shock horror!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Miracle something for nothing internet thingy turns out to be a scam!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hold the presses.

    I'm amazed the Daily Mail hasn't picked up on this or BBC News 24....it's an outrage.

    People who give their credit card details to internet companies with stupid names, don't read the contract they are entering and really thing that it's going to be free..................they really shouldn't be allowed out on their own.

    WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ITS ALWAYS A SCAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
