I ordered a free trial and wound up billed for 129.00 after 30 days! They are not a part of the BBB, I checked al of their business names. Proceed with caution, they are an infomercial, telemarketing scam! Not only are their products questionable, but htye pull a bait and switch. I ordered a free trial and wound up billed for 129.00 after 30 days!

I called and ordered thinking I was just getting a free CD and all I had to do was pay for S&H. The person I spoke with was fast talking and mumbling. When I tried to call and cancel they claimed it was past my trial period and told me I couldn't return it. They are slick and they cover their butt so they never get sued. If this woman in the infomercial, Lucinda Bassett really wanted to help people she would not charge them hundreds of dollars to do so. So PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE! Do not call them for a free CD! This is a big scam they have going on. I don't want others to get into this mess. I have more stress and anxiety now from them!

I heard on the radio the other day about the Ever Cleanse thing, and was curious, and so I researched it up. So far, there's no place that it's selling here in my city, so I don't want to go ahead and purchase it online. Any types of cleanse you recommend that works?

I don't lie about prices to clerks and when there is an incorrect price on an item, it's always been in the stores favor. As for shipping and handling: I had a job at a small mail order business while I was in high school many, many years ago. Part of the time I WAS the shipping and handling. At the minimum wage at the time minus the actual cost of the my salary (not even $4 an hour), boxes, packing, and actual shipping costs, the company was making over $50 an hour in pure profit JUST from the shipping charge. This doesn't even include the mark up for the cheap crap they sold. So even IF every item they sold was returned (minus shipping and handling) they could still make a couple hundred dollars a DAY.

How many times have you taken an unscheduled lunch break or lied about the price of an item at a store that didn't have a tag? Come on people. We rip them off and they rip us off. The dumber you are, the more they win. Rip offs are all over the place. How many times have you taken an unscheduled lunch break or lied about the price of an item at a store that didn’t have a tag?

One for her, one for her mom.. perfect gift. She also purchased 1 knife block that was about $40. She put in your order quickly without really reading the screen, with me next to her not really paying attention either. The order goes through and we see her confirmation screen. Her $40 order turned into $120+! They charged her $20 for knife sets, and $40+ for the knife block. We were dumbfounded. Neither one of us even saw it written. So we went back and placed a second order that we did not plan on completing. We noticed one litttttttle spot that mentioned there will be a shipping charge, and gave a link that was the same color as the text surrounding it, and had no underline. So of course we missed it the first time! What sneaky jerks these people are. i am glad you wrote this blog up so others pay more attention.
