I responded to a 'free trial offer' for Acai pills which should have cost me $2.95 for shipping, however, when I got to the end of the process having given my details, the charge suddenly jumped to $12.95. At the time, I complained whilst still on the site that this was a scam and requested a full refund there and then as I did not wish to continue with the offer. Needless to say, I received no reply or acknowledgement and 5 days later received my order. Some two weeks later, on checking my credit card statement, I found charges for a US company - Wellbhealth for $87.00. On ringing my bank, it was they who alerted me to the fraudulent transaction and they further advised that there were 2 more pending transactions for higher amounts. This has all been passed to the fraud department now and I am waiting to hear from them. I don't know where I stand with regard to paying these amounts, I can only hope the bank are able to do something.
