At the end of September, after reading several articles online about Rachel Ray promoting this product called AKAI Berry Detox, I decided to try it. They had a TRIAL offer and in that offer there was absolutely no mention of any future shipments attached or future charges. When I received the product there was nothing included in the package to indicate anything (no paperwork or brochures of any kind included in the box). I received the product on October 5th and now on October 13th I see on my bank account that they have charged me $86.42 which I never agreed to anywhere. I don't have a job now and they have put these charges on my account.

I trusted the TRIAL offer to be just that and nothing more - reading all the 'fine' print carefully, plus it was being blogged so highly by Rachel Ray. Now, I have to fight to protect my account from being overdrawn by these scam artists. Can't the government do something about these companies using your credit card info after the fact when you order ONE thing?

the rachel ray endorsement was phony - so was Oprah's

AUTHOR: Laurie - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Tuesday, October 13, 2009

Oprah is suing them - don't know what RR is doing.

Another false advertising trick is to claim they are "FEATURED" on CNN Foxnews etc.  All that really means is they have an advertisment on those websites. 

 

Both have DISCLAIMERS on their websites that NEITHER ENDORSE THE PRODUCT! 

FROM OPRAH'S WEBSITE

The Truth About Oprah and Aa
Consumers should be aware that Oprah Winfrey is not associated with nor does she endorse any aa berry product or online solicitation of such products. Attorneys for Harpo are pursuing any companies that claim such an affiliation.
