Just believe that most of our government agencies only take cognizance when there is something that shocks the whole world. What if this company is actually a terrorist cartel who cheats customers in west and in democracies world over and then fund terrorists in Pakistan/Syria etc. Why has UK trading standards taken no action here? Why do agencies like action fraud not taken complaints here? We are so vulnerable.

Maybe I am over reacting but may be I am not.

at least when you put vitahar in google this comes up
Nutri Vitahar scam - MoneySavingExpert.com Forums

The first reply on this thread should explain why.
And you yourself have written:

If they are outside the UK, then they are outside the jurisdiction of UK Trading Standards, aren't they?

Cancelling a card will not necessarily stop the account being debited. Both Mastercard and Visa, and possibly others, have systems in place which effectively route the transaction to the underlying account.

all according how fast you cancelled the order with your credit card people..
emailing vitahar is no good they will say you cant cancel the order till you get it..
you might be ok but still have to pay for the trial bottle postage..

Someone asked me why I purchased this product. I guess I was not having trouble in life and wanted it.

This company has done its manifestations in various forms and has been scamming and duping customers for years. The independent Advertising network has a ruling against it as well. I can not post a URL link but you can find it using the address provided at end of email chain.

Some of the products where it has duped customers and you will find threads all over the internet regarding the same. I could find more than 30 products. Here is only a short list.

Cytotrim
Slimplex
Super Rose X+
Super Pome X+
Pure Raspberry Ketones & Detox Colon Cleanse DX-10® Duo Pack
Slim New diet pill
Nutrapump
Pro T
Cream CE
Raspberry Ketone slimming pills
Brivon
Vitahar

The company changes the product name and continues to run more scams. They have mail box etc addresses all over UK.

2 of the address are:-

Natural Health Network Ltd
Suite 7, Peel House
30 The Downs, Altrincham
Cheshire WA142PX ENGLAND


And

Customer Care Returns 204 Baker Street Suite 004 London EN1 3JY

But of course it is our fault for being so gullible.

Cream CE
Raspberry Ketone slimming pills

I am normally pretty savvy and realise that nothing is free. However I purchased Vitahar on the frree trial offer. My intention was to try it and cancel within the 14 days if it did not meet my expectations. I read the agreement carefully and no where on it did it indicate the cost of the two products should I wish to continue the agreement after the 14 days. The products did arrive but took 11 days to get here. The letter enclosed in with the products confirmed a price £189.98 per month would be debited from my credit card starting in three days time.
I was straight on the phone to cancel (hell Cocaine costs less than that !!!) I got through to Mallick who spent a great deal of time to try to convince me not to cancel but I was adamant. At one stage he offered me a 50% discount (not sure if this would hve applied to the first or all orders). Eventually I got him to cancel it and give me an RMA returns code. He gave me two, and a third one came through by e mail so I put all 3 on the box and returned it immediately. I also informed my bank so they have a record of my request to terminate the agreement with the merchant. I used to work for a bank and unless Visa regs have changed any debits taken by a merchant after an agreement between customer and merchant (not customer and bank) can be recovered by the bank using REASON CODE 41. So make sure you keep a note of your cancellation notification, the date and time you cancelled and who you spoke to, keep a copy of correspondence they send you, and it may be useful to advise your bank but note they CANNOT stop transactions from the merchant but can recover them if the agreement was terminated. So hopefully that is the end of it, I never even opened the bottles, just sent them straight back. Even at 50% discount it is £100 a month in two years that is enough for cosmetic surgery and that has guaranteed results.
