Like many other people I took up the viv3lab ltd offer of free trial for 3.95 postage and packing and received a delivery and didn't check my bank statement. Today (21st August) I was surprised to receive another delivery but from HealthScience? from same address as viv3lab ltd with a delivery note saying that the order was received on 16th August (not by me). I decided to try to contact the company and nothing came up under HealthScience? so looked at my bank statement. Viv3lab ltd had taken two payments of 3.74 in July plus two debit card charges of £1.50 each and then in beginning of August have taken two amounts one of £72.00 and another of £71.87 plus again two debit card charges of £1.50 each and the delivery notes for the two packages received today are for 82.95 each (these do not appear on my bank statement as yet but my bank informs me that they may have been taken already). My bank also informed me that viv3lab ltd are based overseas. I have completed a claim form with my bank and had to cancel my debit card to stop any further withdrawals from these companies. This offer appeared on MSN site and I am now going to report it to them as in total so far, without knowing yet if they have taken today's withdrawals too, they have taken £157.35 from my account without my knowledge or authorisation for a one off so called "free" trial product that should have only cost me the postage & packing cost of £3.95. I thought it sounded too good to be true and wish I had followed my instincts. These companies need to be brought to justice. I have not tried the goods as my doctor advised against it and it seems they have done this to many many people.
