I saw an advert popping up on facebook, me being gullible, followed the link and read an article that a supposedly channel 4 presenter had done on the supplement 'vitaberry trim'.
I was led to believe that i would only be charged £5.99 for the postage and packaging of the supplements. I also ordered some colon cleansing system pills, that they said would work well with the vitaberry!
I have been down on funds in the bank the last week, and had no idea where my money (saved for my 2 boys school uniform) had gone. I went into my branch this morning and requested a statment, on it was itemised twice £62.99, the total of £125.98 for these supplements, in the last few days!
I have tried phoning the number on the un real looking piece of paper/instructions sent with the pills +44-141-84610059, and to the disappointment, my phone just hung up. I have e-mailed the address that was on the same piece of paper [email protected] and again, message sending failed!

I am very angry that i have fallen into this stupid trap, and even more angry and extremely upset that i have no funds to get my sons new school uniform for september, money i had saved up!

I have no idea what i am to do now, other than contact my bank again and request change of account, just incase they try to take money off me again.

I would like to publicise this matter and make people more aware that this is easily done, as things are made to look real on internets these days.

Is there any way you could help me please?

  • Hi Michelle,
    How did you get on with this company. Did you manage to cancel? I've just fallen into the same trap and am having trouble even returning the bottles.

  • Hi, i havn't managed to get very far other than phoning my bank. I told them what had happened and they are sending me forms to fill out for the visa fraud squad or someone to look into it. They have blocked the company from taking any more money out of my account! I am deeply ashamed of my self for being so uncareful for ordering off these people as i am usually very careful of who and where i purchase stuff from! Im sure you feel the same! Its shameful that there are such people out there targeting innocent people. I hope you can resolve your matter :(

  • Hi Michelle,
    Finally after sending the bottles off twice they have accepted them back. 1st address was an empty building in tooting bec London. Second one was the one up in Scotland. I will be cancelling my debit card so they wont be able to take any money out. Once bitten etc etc. Keep in touch and let me know how you get on.
    Regards,
    Mandy.
