- I guess as long as the company pays taxes on the money they make then it's all going to remain legal...

- This outrageous scam has caused ongoing charges to 2 of my credit cards from several different companies, fronted by the fraudulent "FWM Labs". The scam is exposed on numerous websites, yet cards such as PayPal, owned by GE Money Bank refuse to remove obviously false charges... Until now, I have had an excellent credit record and no problems with "bloated maggots" who bottom feed off innocent consumers such as myself. I have copies of the order form stating there is no charge for Resveratrol, only for S/H costs. Instead, I am sent
the RESproduct, plus Sky Berry Cleanse, ACUIBerry and every other BERRY JUNK they can pass off on me... Oh, and most of the items never arrive except as charges on my credit card. There must be something we can do to stop this from happening and put these rip-off-artists out of business! - Reply to this comment

- If you find out that the company is ripping you off, why don't you just call the credit card company, and ask the credit card company cancel those charges. I had a problem with someone who sold me downloaded software that did not work very well. I solved the problem by calling the credit card company and having them cancel the charges.

- I also sent for the free sample at the cost of 99c and within 8 days another bottle was mailed to me. I tried calling customer service to tell them there was a mistake and I couldn't get through. I didn't even finish the first bottle because it increased my hot flashes. Then three weeks later I received another bottle. No invoice came so there was no way of knowing what these bottles cost until I received my credit card statement and saw all the charges. I stayed on the telephone all day and then finally got to speak to someone and they said they had to transfer me and then the call was lost. I started the whole process over again the next day and finally had someone from customer service. They wouldn't give me credit for the second bottle because they said I waited too long to return it. So I return the third bottle and I am waiting to see if I receive a credit, I didn't order the product and they said I should have read the fine print which I saw after I went on their web site. But when I was ordering the free sample, I couldn't even find the price of the bottle if I had ever wanted to order it again on my own and I would have never paid close to $90 for it. All of this happen within 6 weeks. The reason I sent for the free sample was because of the testimonials from Dr. Oz, Barbara and Morey Stahl. I hope the Attorney General goes after the company and shuts them down. They also need to be given some heavy fines.

Many sites showcase people making as much as $300 a day working online from home on their computer.
Are online jobs the next big thing? For Stephanie Lopez it sure is. Stephanie, a mother from is thriving, in the middle of an economic recession working in the comfort of her own home.
From her website: "I get paid about $25 for every link I post on Google and I get paid every week... I make around $5500 a month right now"
Stephanie's story is a very familiar one in these tough times. She lost her job as an account rep for a manufacturing company and a few days later her husband also was laid off from his job as part of cutbacks due to the bad economy.
"We knew we had to do something, so we put our heads together and started trying online job opporuntities." Stephanie and her husband Kevin wound up getting caught up in a few quick rich business opportunities that were nothing more than pyramid schemes before finding something that really worked.
"I realized the best thing to do is instead of hoping that a company that you are looking at is going last, why not go with a big, reputable company. After looking at several different companies, I picked the safest bet... Google."
Online giant Google is a publicly traded company and is worth an estimated $100 Billion (with a b). The company has pioneered online search and has changed the way we use the internet. - Reply to this comment
- Thank you for your story about RESV and resveratrol scams. It is important to note there are reputable and long standing companies out there who do produce natural and pure products that deliver healthful benefits. NutraGrape, sister company to Duplin Winery in Rose Hill North Carolina, has been producing a 100% pure and natural Muscadine supplement for over 13 years! Yes, that is before nutraceutical was even coined as a medical term and long before resveratrol became a household word. In fact, Duplin Winery has been teaching its customers about the power of resveratrol and the healthful properties found at their highest levels in Muscadines since there incorporation in the early 70's. There are good companies out there, that are honest, and have a solid history to prove it.

- Not only do these companies ship unwanted supplies at a much higher price than advertised. They also give your credit card information to other companies who also start shipping supplies of other supplements and billing you mothly fees Acie Berry is one of the companies doing just that. The wait on line to get it stopped can take hours.
These people need to be stopped. - Reply to this comment
