Sold my credit card number to fraudsters

Within days of ordering from this site my credit card was swamped with fraudulent charges for a variety of nutritional supplement outfits. I am convinced that the operators of this site sold my credit card number to scammers.

Update one month later: Healthy Back Institute charged another $434.85 to my Visa for nothing at all. THESE PEOPLE ARE CRIMINALS, NEVER, EVER, EVER ORDER ANYTHING FROM THEM.

PLEASE Cancel/Refund ASAP

Hello! Kindly please cancel/refund any active account, subscription, service, plan, etc, that may have been created under my name, address, and bank/credit card information as I have been receiving (and getting billed/charged for) each and every month (for the past year or so) one bottle of ‘Heal-n-Soothe Systemic Enzyme Formula’ dietary supplement for joint/muscle discomfort, but I have never signed up for any such thing/program/service/product/etc (or a free trial/etc). Thank you so much! — Jennifer Portnoy, jenportnoy@aol, 1251 Appleton Way, Venice, CA 90291 —

Hi Teddy. I'm sorry to hear you wish to cancel your subscription. It was a result of the free trial bottle purchased in 2023. I have cancelled it and you should receive confirmation to the email address you provided. There is a 90 day money back guarantee for any unopened bottles you might have. I am also sending you return instructions related to that. Thanks for reaching out, take care!

Misunderstanding?

I have like the customers above received a number of unasked-for containers of HealnSoothe, which I understand may be a result of misunderstanding (I am not complaining). However, I do not need this supplement and it does not help me. Please could you desist from sending these capsules/tablets, and also from taking any more money out of my account.. Please confirm that this has been done.

When I paid my initial $9.95 fora trial…

When I paid my initial $9.95 fora trial offer, the language used by the ceo was “no risk” try it for the shipping cost only. Well, like so many commenters, more product was received without meaning to subscribe for further shipments. So I read the full agreement and couldn’t find anything there about multiple orders. Called to cancel, and was told it was cancelled and I would receive email confirming. Email never came. Was shocked to read the full agreement as it outlawed “profanity, threats to employees,” and a host of other retributions that’s customer might take. Well think about it. They are ripping off people, many elderly and almost all in considerable pain. Based on my experience lying is also part of the business model. No wonder they are getting people very agitated.

BEWARE OF THIS WHOLE COMPANY AND THEIR WEBSITE. FIRST--IF YOU WANT THIS STUFF, JUST BUY IT ON AMAZON AT HUGE DISCOUNTS,
SECOND-IF YOU TRY TO UNSUBSCRIBE ONLINE,
THEY ASK FOR YOUR ACCOUNT NAME AND
"PASSWORD!" YOU LIKELY ONLY GAVE THEM YOUR E-MAIL--AND NOT A PASSWORD- WHEN YOU ORDERED THE TRIAL DEAL! WHEN YOU GO TO THEIR SITE TO UNSUBSCRIBE OR CANCEL --
THEY ASK FOR A PASSWORD (WHICH YOU DO NOT HAVE) AND THEN ASK YOU TO "CHANGE" YOUR
PASASWORD. SOUNDS SINISTER TO ME!!!

Hi Don, I'm sorry to hear that you haven't been able to gain any relief from the Heal-n-Soothe. Please note that Heal-n-Soothe is mainly used for inflammatory conditions such as arthritis or gout, and it may not be as effective for neurological conditions such as neuropathy. If your neuropathy does not have an inflammatory cause, then Heal-n-Soothe may not be helpful to you. A better option may be Super Joint Support, which does contain B12, an ingredient that has been shown to reduce neuropathy. In any case, I've canceled your subscription for the Heal-n-Soothe so there will no longer be any charges like the ones you listed here. Good luck with your pain relief journey!

i have just seen an amount on my credit card for £63.36, I have not ordered anything from this company Healthy Back Institute. Looking on line it seems that they try it on with a lot of people. My credit card company will hopefully get the money back for me.

Hi Jenny, it seems you may have ordered the Heal-n-Soothe free trial from us on Sept 15th but never contacted us to cancel the subscription. Either way, I see that your subscription was canceled and refunded on November 2nd, so I hope your issue has been resolved. Have a great day!

My wife Anne Rice.

My wife Anne Rice made what she thought was a single sample order. We now see that our Amex account has been billed three times for sterling equivalent of $79.90 (+ transaction fee). We have received three tubs of the product, all of which are unopened, but how does one deal with a company in Austin/Las Vegas from UK. Telephone number doesn't respond and I cannot find an email address. I have dealt with situation by putting a block on our charge card, but meanwhile have £190 worth of unwanted (and unopened) pills. How do I get reimbursed? Nigel Rice.

Resolved

I ordered free trial however I then read on here it was a scam I cancelled but they sent me 4 bottles I don't even want to try now because of stress of the company .they said they have cancelled . Trying to contact to send back . No rely

No this does not help. You have not answered my question and I have emailed several times today I cannot call because my phone barrs me from international calling.
You cancelled the order then chose to send the order why ? . You send a courier to collect . The order was cancelled you confirmed this you gave me a partial refund . Then proceeded to post causing me more inconvenience and upset

I woukd like to update this post. The company have got back to me and assured me not to worry I have an email and evidence that I have nothing to worry about. I will take this information to my bank tomorrow ensuring no money will be taken out my account .
Thanks for finally resolving this.
A now happy customer

THIS IS A SCAM

THIS IS A SCAM. It was a mystery as to why these bottles of some supposed back pain supplements were being mailed to me. My wife and I did NOT order it. Somehow they got one of my wife's credit card numbers and charged it for 7 months. When I called, they lady said they would only do 3 months of refund if I mailed back the unopened bottles they have been sending.

Hi Alan! Taking a look at your account, our records show that someone placed an order on our website on 4/2/2024 for the Heal-n-Soothe free trial bottle, which does include a recurring subscription after 30 days for those that do not cancel within that time. We understand that accidents do happen, and that the order may have been placed by mistake, which is why we offer a refund on unopened orders that are returned within 90 days. Feel free to take advantage of this return policy, and as a courtesy I've also refunded one additional bottle that falls outside of the 90 day window. I hope this resolves your issue, if not feel free to reach out to us 9AM - 7PM EST (Mon - Sat) 800-216-4908 (US & Canada) 240-780-5977 International (Outside of U.S. & Canada)

Hi Pat! I took a look at your account and can confirm that your subscription was canceled on 7/29/2024, If you are still seeing new charges or are still receiving products, please contact us to Investigate this further. In the mean time, be sure that the charges you're seeing are actually from our company - billings from HBI will usually show up as "Healthy Back Institute" or "HBI", anything else is very likely not from us. Feel free to reach out to us 9AM - 7PM EST (Mon - Sat) 800-216-4908 (US & Canada) 240-780-5977 International (Outside of U.S. & Canada). We look forward to hearing from you!

Healthy Back Institute are thieves! AVOID THEM!

I signed up for a trial product, which never even worked. I tried to cancel my account but could not, and months later they are still taking money from my bank account. They do not respond to attempts to contact them - they are thieves. When I tried to reach them another way, a third party supplier (??) wanted to charge me $14.95 just to follow up! DON’T GO NEAR THEM!

Horrible, NOT FREE E NEWSLETTER! THEY CHARGE YOU!

Horrible! I was offered this "free" newsletter. I cancelled the
subscription for the supplement, and when I tried to cancel
this "FREE" newsletter, it kept giving me an error code.
Almost $17 for this "FREE" newsletter? Who charges that
much for a dang emailed newsletter anyway, even if it
wasn't free, which they advertised that it was! It says right
on the newsletter FREE!

They only refunded one charge not 2!

Hi Brooke! I took a look at your account and noticed that you got our Newsletter Free Trial. It's possible there may have been a misunderstanding, as this was meant to give you an opportunity to try our digital newsletter for free for 30 days, and decide within that time if you would like to continue afterwards and pay the full price for more monthly newsletter releases. Either way we totally understand, and it seems that one of our representatives canceled your subscription and refunded your most recent newsletter charge. I hope this resolves your issue!

Pain -Not Now

I use to have pain in neck, back and ankle but it has basically subsided. If I take the HBI supplement, I am usually pain free even when I wear heels, line dance and perform. When I missed taking it a couple of days, I could tell and after 2 days of going back regularly, I became pain free again and yes for an almost 63 year old, I FEEL GOOD!

I tried to cancel this and I could not…

I tried to cancel this and I could not find a number and when I found some number on the internet I left a message and they never returned my call. I never received and other orders so I thought it was solved and now I have people harassing me saying they are going to send me all the orders from February and that I have to pay all of the back orders. I asked them to send me the info because I thought it was cancelled and they say they cannot until I send them the money. I just having them yelling at me that they will charge me 100s of dollars unless I pay them. I don’t even remember what I ordered if I did order anything. Please don’t order from them.

I received a set of free tablets as a trial.

However, under no circumstances did l ask for a subscription to be set up.

Hi Corrine, there may have been a misunderstanding regarding our Heal-n-Soothe Trial purchase. All trial bottles come with a trial period that begins once you place the order, after which we begin a recurring subscription unless the customer contacts us to cancel. This is all stated during the checkout process when placing the order on our website, but no worries! I was able to locate your account and I've canceled your subscription so you will no longer be billed or mailed any products. I've also refunded your most recent charge back to your card, and you will receive an email confirming this. I hope this resolves your issue and clears up any confusion regarding the trial, but if not, feel free to reach out to us 9AM - 7PM EST (Mon - Sat) 800-216-4908 (U.S. & Canada) 240-780-5977 International (Outside of U.S. & Canada)

Best ever.

This product takes away my back and neck pain. I don't take it how they recommend, I just take 3 pills when I'm bad. Half an hour later I'm just about pain free.
I have had no problems with this company.
I recommend this product to many people and they have all had positive experiences.
Thanks
