This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

I, like many of you ladies, recieved a charge of $4.95 on my bank account but it was under web access along with an 866 # so after some research online reading many of your stories I decided to call the # [protected]) and they answered right away said customer service may I help you & I told them what happened & he put me onhold for about 5 mins then transfered me to a lady who said I was automatically signed up for a secrets & insiders club that was a monthly charge. I asked her to cancel it and with in a few mins she cancelled my automatic subscription, make sure you ask for a refund though! I asked her would this money be refunded back into my account & she said well you didnt ask for a refund, so I asked her to please refund my money back into my account & she politely said yes it should be back into your account within 5 to 10 days.

I've been requesting to have my membership cancelled way before the expired date because those diet pills didnt help me lose any weight at all and I want all my money back. The representatives cancelled my membership and gave me a cancellation number 1328035 and 1328045...my account has been debit over 6 months: $6.87, $6.32, and $2.27 and I want all of my money back from 6months ago...Please help me!

I signed up for the $4.95 trial, then never received another package until December and had been billed 58.71 monthly, when I called questioning this I was told that it was too late, I couldn't get a refund, but that they would resend the product, but that I would be unable to send it back for a refund. Also, refused to allow me to speak to a supervisor. Go figure this is a major rip off, if the supervisor will not even get on the phone? We need to contact the better business bureau.

What happened wholesale in the U.S. appears now to be happening in Australia. It's a good idea to check Complaints Board before ordering anything online.

There's only one sure way to get these people off your backs, and that is to cancel your credit card and have your vendor issue you a new number. Thereafter, expect nuisance phone calls from Acai and "affiliates" trying to get you to resubscribe. Under no circumstances let those thugs talk you into divulging your new credit card account.

We in the States discovered we were on our own here. From my knowledge, Our Federal Trade Commission would not lift a finger to protect any consumers by taking any action to restrain Acai, so it is likely that powerful, influential people are involved. I suspect this scam has netted at least tens of millions of dollars.

Any help appreciated.

Signed up for 1 free months trial of acai burn and they automatically sent me the next bottle, sharged form my account without consulting me. I am no longer taking the product and do not want it anyway. They should have contact numbers for Australia instead of all US numbers. Postage says it comes from Milperra NSW. I want these transactions to cease immediately

i dont know why ppl do these free trials when you know the merchants will charge you some exorbitant amount of $ afterwards regardless if you receive the sample or not. just dont do it. if it sounds too good to be true, dont do it. never do free trials for anything whether you see it on tv or any ad via oprah or rachael ray.. dont do it.. dont do payday loans online either.. most loans are based overseas and they will literally rape your accounts. once you do a free trial. block your card immediately.

Jrex thank you for your advice. I'm in Australia and went through the Live Chat to cancel. Got a cancellation number plus an email cancellation notification. Only problem was there is a secondary subscription to a crew called World Club Fitness which take money every month as well. The Acai Burn people were no help here and said I had to contact them directly. They can automatically subscribe you, but can't canel for you! Sorry Mr Jacobson, but that's not the great customer service you mentioned.

The above is a complete lie. Due to some unethical practices I canceled the trial on the same day I ordered. I never received a trial, but I was charged $59.95. They will tell you that your order has been canceled and that they returned your money. They have given me up to 6 different dates that the money was returned. My bank has never received the credit. Their story changes reqularly the employee I spoke with last week has never worked there. They are liars and cheats and they know they can get away with it. CANCEL YOUR CARD NOW. I have been calling up to 8 times a month as well as emailing. The charges stopped when I canceled my card.

WE WERE WERE RIPPED OFF BY ACAI BURN (UNDER OTHER NAMES) DEDUCTING SMALL AMOUNTS UNDER £10 STERLING EVERY MONTH FOR ABOUT A YEAR., FROM ACCOUNTS BASE D IN CYPRUS.
when we first noticed these payments, we alerted our bank, who said they were very familiar with our complaint as they had hundred of similar ones. Hanging onto the phone for 45 minutes time to get through to speaking to someone, i was very rattled and expressed my irritation with the poor girl who worked for the online banking section. She told me that she spent most of her day dealing with similar calls to mine - all from Acia Burn - this was one call office for just one of the UK banks! She promised they would claim the money back on our behalf as it was taken by theft as I had cancelled my order within minutes of placing it... which was when the UK postage charge came out at double the price advertised - no mention of which was made in the ad which had popped up repeatedly on my hotmail account.

I attempted to cancel several times and was assured by several members of staff at Acia Burn that on the computer my order had been cancelled, though the original deducation would not be cancelled... I returned the pills the day they arrived.

But by refusing to accept credit cards, they had got hold of my bank account details - and so the horrible saga began. I guess they must have taken about £50 sterling by now ($80?)

I wouldn't mind but I used to be a savvy consumer journalist used to expose companies like this! I am lucky that I can afford to lose this sort of money but I am outraged at the bare-faced audacity of this thieving company. Why don't the American Trading Standards Authorities drum these people out of business...
and why do people go and work for such a bunch of thieves and conmen?

The bank still assures me that I will eventually get the money back as it was stolen from my account - I had to sign forms to say that I had cancelled. But Acai Burn uses different company names to take small sums of money that presumably they hope people won't notice.
