I have purchased a couple bottles of force factor and had been pleased witht the product itself but the company I am not. I stopped buy the bottles back in September 2009 because I wanted to try something new. Since then the company has made a $74.98 dollar charge to my account everymonth including today December 3rd 2009. So three wrongfull charges, beware of this company!

Force Factor company.
Well the first time I perchased from the company everything went fine and got the bottles sent to me in South Korea were I was at the time and they came in 5 days. A few months later I made my second and last perchase from them and thats when they kept charging my account. They are a pretty big and fast growing company, but I am guessing there is a problem with their system, or with the people working there. The contact number on their website doesnt seem to work either, I have called it a few times and either get a busy tone or when it does go through it asks for a six digit access number.... Hmmm. Also there is no other way to contact them, no email address that I could find just that number. So I am going to black list them or attept to. Has any one else had problems with this company? Like I said the product works great, but the company... ya.. not so great it seems.

Force Factor questionable
Same problem. Ordered the product, canceled within 14 days trial period. They sent a confirmation email. Proceeded to deduct 2 unauthorized transactions to my DEBIT card to the tune of $92.37 each! Could be a technology flaw, but who knows. Not a way to do business if you want to stay in business. I called, talked to a gal who would rather reduce price than credit back my account. Filed a report with the FBI Internet Crime Unit when unauth charges not credited back after a month, and got another unauth charge. Credit card fraud in my book. Reported card as stolen. Product okay. If I take 2 as recommended twice daily, get a headache. Cut back to one but then noticeable lack of workout pump. There are much better products on the market by reputable companies.

I did the trial too and didn't have a problem with it. It says to call by the 18th day after you order to cancel or you get start getting charged each month. I called when i got my bottle after like 5 days and canceled and just started ordering from their web page. I can definitely see how its a pain in the ass if you don't cancel it and aren't expecting it tho. sorry to hear it man.

this is exactly like free credit report
they wont get in trouble they have lawyers and loopolls. filing with the fbi isnt gonna do a thing. what you need to do when you cant get your way with a shady company is screw whoever picks the phone up and ask strictly for a supervisor, and when talking to them keep your cool and then threaten to report them to the better buisiness bureau
do research first man, i cant beleive people still are that dumb and fall for this crap! u gotta b kiddin me

It's basically an over-hyped, over-packaged, over-priced NO Booster. Pure nonsense, but I guess people are falling for it.
I put in my height (5'10) and 400lb as my weight in their form. Guess what? I pre-qualified for a free trial--yipee!

All the hype and popularity around force factor led me to get the free trial. Well all i wanted was an honest review from a real user, but all i could find were bogus reviews from probably the company itself and people just trying to promote it, making it sound like its a supplement from heaven.
Well if you want a real review from a real user...myself. I give it in my signature below. I don't think I can post any links yet. Hope that helps!My Honest Review and Experience with Force Factor: http://force-factor-reviews.com/

File an IC3 complaint ASAP.
I had a similar problem, I filed an IC3 complaint and about 3 months later the FBI contacted me, lol. Since there was quite a few complaints they did an investigation and the owners of the fraudulent company were sent to prison for 12 years!

Most annoying spelling ever. Stop using the "d" in place of other letters, you look like a moron. This isn't a rap/hip hop forum. English preferred.
Like was said earlier, you can't file a complaint, there is small print you should read first that says to avoid charges you have to call and cancel. It's your own fault.
I honestly don't know how you can get suckered into buying this stuff in the first place, let alone want to trial it.*MusclePharm: Official Supplement of the UFC*

DaLad9008 -You could use some english grammar lessons as well.
"LIKE WAS SAID EARLIER,YOU CAN'T FILE A COMPLAINT, THERE IS SMALL PRINT YOU SHOULD READ FIRST THAT SAYS TO AVOID CHARGES YOU HAVE TO CALL AND CANCEL. IT'S YOUR OWN FAULT."
Now, in your one paragraph garble, run-on wording and assembly, you have managed to make, seven grammatical errors. Granted, that poor dude, for sure, needs some help. Cutting him down, like you did, only shows your obvious, superiority complex. I wonder who really is, the better man? Transfer a bit of that power, from your arms, to your brain. The world would benefit more than you know!

You and everyone else must be as stupid as you think the person is who wrote that in the first place. None of you guys know what you are talking about or where the D or any "slang" comes from. If you were more educated you would know what Ebonics is, and the way D is used or any other so called "slang" is actually African grammar combined with the English language. It's not just made up words as place-holders, there's actually historical facts about it. Just as you see European grammar and and Asian grammar causing everyone to have different accents. Take a History course.

wait
Before this gets out of hand and becomes political, I just want to say it's not a big deal to express one's self. Let's focus and address the issue at hand.
It looks like force factor is a scam and honestly, I get annoyed seeing the advertisements on all of the major sites. I'd never order, but I'm sure this helps those that are on the fence regarding this matter. Thanks for the heads up.

I never order from any place that even has the option of autobilling because of reasons like this... Once in the past, somehow my account mysteriously was converted to autobill. Ever since then, I've always bought things on a prepaid charge card to make sure I can only be charged once. Actually some banks allow you to generate a safe number that you can use for a 1 time charge or up to the amount you specify and they expire after like 3 months or something like that. Check with your bank...

Credit card use is usually the scam
ALWAYS READ THE FINE PRINT. Any time you give your credit, or debit card number to ANY company, even if they say it's just to cover shipping costs you are giving them permission in the fine print to sign you up for a subscription to that product. About the only way out of it is to change your card number, or pay until the terms run out. Cancel the trial as soon as you can. Some times the free trial starts as soon as you order the product, then it may take a week of the free trial just to get the stuff. Always go to the company website to read the fine print before you order anything with your card.

Yah I ordered the free sample, but called to cancel just because I don't like to have any auto-draft/order out of any of my accounts. They tried to persuade me to stay with it and said I could push out my trial window to whatever date I wanted, and work with me on promotions to buy new bottles for $29.99 instead of the $70 if I canceled. Said F'it still and canceled.
