SCAM ALERT Central Coast Nutraceuticals

WARNING! Central Coast Nutraceuticals in Largo ARE SCAMMERS

HERE IS THE EXACT SCENARIO.

I was on the WebMD site and came across a website to get a free trial of Acai Berry. The company is called Central Coast Nutraceuticals. All you have to pay is $4.95 for shipping. If you try to exit out, a live chat screen comes on and offers the shipping for $1.95. Do not enter your credit Card information. This is a scam. It is not free.

I tried it, then I decided I didn’t want it anymore so, I canceled my acct. I found the product was no different than products you can get at any store except, the stores are far less expensive. I will then told that I had to return the product or I was going to be billed $39.95. So I was issued an RMA to return the unused portion. I was told that as long as returned the unused portion within the 14 day trial period, I would not be charged. I went to the post office to send back the product. I asked for a confirmation receipt like I was told by the rep. A few days later I checked to make sure it was received. It was, so I assumed I wasn’t going to be billed a $39.95 fee for the Acai Berry.

Well, 2 weeks after they received the product back, I was still billed $39.95. This also caused me to have NSF’s and my bank charged me $60.00 in fees. I called the company and was put on hold for a few minutes and when the Rep came on, I explained my situation. I asked why I was billed 2 weeks after the product return had been received by them. They answered that they don’t get to their returns right away. They said they would issue credit, but not for the fees even though it was their fault. I asked to talk to a supervisor, I was then told that would not do any good. I called back and talked to an actual Supervisor. He also said that they do not credit fees. They also were going to charge me a $6.00 re-stocking fee to return the so called “Free Trial”. Please do not order any free trials from this Company. They are not free!!! I am waiting to see when I am going to get my credit.

The company distribution was, and still may be on Belcher road in Largo.

When I was initially talking to them, I asked if this was just a fulfillment center or corporate. I was told this, the florida facility, was their eycorporate office! LIARS!
