I purchased Ageless Male product in March and did not sign up for any auto shipment program as I just wanted to try the product for a month to see if it made a difference.  I have concluded that it did not, and do not want to purchase any more. 

The original shipment was received, and that is all I want to receive. I am fairly upset that they have again charged my VISA card on April 24th.   I wish I had researched this company thoroughly before making the purchase.   I emailed them today to reverse the charges and cancel my account.


EDitor's Suggestions on how to get your money back!


HERE IS WHAT RIP-OFF REPORT SUGGESTS YOU DO:

Go to your bank within 60 days of the charge, or as soon as you know about the charge, don't delay, and tell them that there has been fraudulent activity within your account. Explain that you wish to file a dispute, and demand that they assist you in accordance with Federal Regulation E.

According to the majority of victims interviewed by Rip-off Report, those who immediately called their banks to dispute the charges did not get very far. Many victims got the following responses from their banks: we could not do anything for you or you waited too long; it has been more than 60 days.

If the bank is says that you have waited too long, explain to them how you called their 800 number as soon as the charges were found, and were told by the bank that nothing could be done. Remind the bank that they failed to assist you properly at the 800 #, and instead, provided you with an inadequate explanation of your right to dispute. Tell the bank that it's their fault time has expired, and since they gave you the wrong info to begin with, they will just have to deal with it, take the loss and reverse the charges.

Tell them the truth; this was unauthorized and your account was NOT to be charged! Keep emphasizing how you never authorized anything! Direct them to the hundreds of victims reports that were filed on Rip-off Report.com. And if you're at the bank, walk them over to their computer and make them go to this site! If you are on the phone with them, tell them you will wait while they access this site! Either way, be persistent!

DO NOT TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER!

Let them know nicely, that you were advised to Report them (the Bank) and this situation to the Banking Commission in your state. Since each state has a different name for the agency/controller over banks, find that name before you call or get to the bank so you can throw it in their face. The more knowledgeable you appear to be, the further you will get.

And just continue to demand the Federal Regulation E form! The bank CAN, MUST and WILL reverse the charge! But, you must be persistent; ask to speak to the supervisor or the area manager for all the branches in the state.

Let the bank personnel know you are meeting with the media later in the day, that you would much rather they do the right thing (as most other banks have) by looking at the complaints and immediately reversing the charge(s) to your account; no matter how long ago it was. Be sure to call the Media if necessary so you are telling the truth.

If you have to, be loud (but nice) in front of other customers. If you are just calling by phone, the above tactics should still work. The bank can easily fax or mail to you the Federal Regulation E dispute form.

CHARGES TO YOUR CREDIT CARD

If the charge was to your credit card (not debit card, check card, or checking account), contact the credit card company as soon as possible to request a dispute form. Consumers usually have a little longer to dispute fraudulent credit card charges (up to 6 months), but it is better to act right away. In this type of situation, credit card disputes are usually successful since fraudulent companies often won't contest the disputed charge. In rare cases, credit card companies will review disputes, but refuse to reverse the charges. If this occurs, complain to a manager and let them know you will be filing a report here.

Remember Don't let them get away with it! Make sure they make the Rip-off Report .. The more Reports filed on a Company or individual, the more likely it is that the authorities, media and attorneys will want to take action.

And good luck Let us know how you do!

To Allan,

We are deeply concerned over your unfortunate comments; we have a very large customer base and when things like this happen it often makes us wonder how it did and what can be done to resolve the situation. To assure quality for our Sales and our Customer Service Representatives we do record our telephone conversations in order to find any fault if any on our offerings.

We do not automatically apply a charge and shipment to your credit card after the first order has shipped, that will only happen if you desire to get a discount on future orders by signing up for our Preferred Customer Program. All our Sales Representative read from a legally approved script and explain the benefits of the Preferred Customer Program which would guarantee the customer a special promotion to receive all future shipments at a discounted price for a one month (or more) supply of the product; the order is only placed when the customer accepts the offer. All customers are advised if they do not want to continue to receive future shipments of the product to call our Customer Service Department within thirty days to cancel future shipments; the Sales Representative does provide the number for the customer to call and cancel on the initial sales call.
 
Also, our website clearly explains the terms of the Preferred Customer Program. All customers are advised if they do not want to continue to receive future shipments of the product to call our Customer Service Department to cancel future shipments; the same is also stated on the invoice that is sent along to the customer as well as on the order confirmation email. The confirmation email also has our contact information besides phone. In addition to our phone line our Customer Service Department can be reached by email or standard mail.
 
And, all our Customer Service Representatives (all Customer Service Representatives read from an approved script) explain all the options the customers have available to modify or reschedule their next shipment date of the product based on their individual situation(s) i.e. low on funds, moving, traveling, or usage. The customers are advised if they do not want to continue to receive future shipments of the product or if they want to return a product for credit to call our Customer Service Department before the mutually agreed date.
 
We would like to get your order information to research your problem and try and both satisfy you as a customer and possibly learn if there was any fault on our representatives side by listening to the calls when they came into our center. We value you as a customer and never want you to have any dissatisfaction. Please call our Customer Service Department and speak with one of our Customer Service Representatives, that phone number is 1-800-943-6465. We promise that we will do everything possible to make you a happy customer.

Thank you.
Customer Service

#1 Consumer Suggestion

Remove Credit Card

AUTHOR: jabesv - (USA)

POSTED: Friday, May 11, 2012

The easiest way to stop the shipments is to remove your
credit card information from your account.  Go to the website and Log
In.  The user name is the email you provided and if you can't remember
the password, click "forgot password" and they will send you a temporary
one to your email.  Use it to log in.  Once in click on account
details, look for area where credit card information is stored, then
delete it. Now they have no way of charging future shipments!  Don't
forget to change the password to one that you can remember in case you
need to verify that the credit card info has been deleted before the
next scheduled ship date.
