Well I ordered the book from his marketing organization. I ordered 2 books and I did return them in the way they asked for, but so far have not heard anything back from them. I was charged a significant amount on my credit card and have not approached VISA. I suppose I could request a reversal of the charges. I guess I am looking for some advice. Thanx

I TOO.. was sammed by the extra charges on my debit/credit card. $71.40??? For what?? I was told byt the operator on the 800 # that it would be billed monthly at $5.95, but alas, it appeared on my card the next day as a complete 71.40 charge. I was P---ed!! I called my bank and told them this was NOt authorized by me. My bank is good at helping me resolve a dispute and I expect the money to be put back in my account shortly, But BEWARE. These people at the 800# , which was my own fault for NOt writing it down make their money by just charging your card!!!

"These people at the 800# , which was my own fault for NOt writing it down make their money by just charging your card!!!" This is NOT TRUE. Those people are paid by the minute. They get NO COMMISSION. They are a national teleservices company that take phone calls for SEVERAL HUNDREDS of products. They read what populates on the screen. That is it. You know how much they make? 17 cents a minute ONLY IF THEY ARE TALKING TO SOMEONE. Yes that book is a scam. Plain and simple. KT is the con artist. Not the people at the 800 number. The 5.95 is monthly but is charged ANNUALLY. 5.95x12 is 71.40. This is stated in the script. KT keeps changing the script. He is the one who writes them and hands them to the company. If you want to be angry at someone be angry at the man making millions upon millions with this scam. NOT the people who make 17 cents a minute ONLY if they are on the phone talking to people.

I am so mad right now. I ordered the Natural Cures Book a couple of days ago by calling the phone number on the infomercial and I specifically said no to all of the other products that they tried shoving at me. I told them I only wanted the book, but I just looked at my checking account and they took an additional $71.40 - looks like that was for the newsletter. I just called 847-777-7132 and a lady said they will refund me in 7 - 10 days. I had a bad feeling about this and should've trusted my instincts.. We all need to get this guy thrown in jail!!!

I ordered this book just last week for $14.95 + S/H as advertised by Kevin Trudeau on TV. Today my wife called wanting to know what I bought for $71.40 (Natural Cures) and $24.90 (Shop America), which both have the number: 847-7777 131, no area code or 1-800, 877, 866, etc. I tried to look up a number on google search and found this site. Let's start a class action lawsuit with all the people that have been scammed, national media blitz, etc.; I'll bet bet Mr. Trudeau will get to the bottom of it then!

When your book comes to you don't open the package! Write (ADDRESSEE REJECTS)in large letters across the top. Cover your mailing address with a black marker so they cant send it to you a second time. When I got the bill I told the CC company I never bought it. Close the account and get another CC ! I left a message to the Chicago News. Please do the same so we can stop this son of a bitch!

I called and order this product in late October. I still ahve not received it. When i called to inquire, they gave me a non-800 number (1-847-777-7132) and no one answers. I tried calling back the "order" line which is quick to answer but they only repeat the above number. AFter my fifth call, they gave me an address of ShopAmerica, po box 516, Elk Grove Village, IL 60009, which i tried to locate on web page and i cannot locate. Meanwhile my credit card has been charged and the 3-week delivery never came thru. I am extremely frustrated that these types of scams are allowed on TV - milking hundreds of viewers. This needs to be seriously looked at. I will be filing a complain with the BBB as well when i write to the Shop America corp.

Well i've already complained but i'm doing it again. I'm so pissed that the 71.90 was taken from my account. My bank replaced it because I told them it was a unauthorized transaction. I still can't get a hold of anyone from the natural cures place, and believe me I have a whole lot to tell them. I'm calling the B.B.B. and channel 3 news with the consumer report. Im so angry that I want to get a lawyer and sue kevins ass!!!!!!

I have been reading these sad stories, and I am a sucker, too. None of the entries I read talk about the monthly memnership fee of $9.95. I was stupid enough to join, but now I can't cancel. I received an email saying I wouldn't be charged after January 1st, but of course I was charged the 9.95 on Jan. 6th. Nice, huh? Did anyone else sign up for this membership, and if so, how can we stop the payments. Do I just need to talk to my bank? WARNING! Don't ever sign up for an automatic deduction plan from an account!!

I saw Mr.Trudeau's infomercial last July 2005. I ordered the book which was to have included a free Cd on losing wait. I had $39.90 charged to my credit card on July 21,2005. The book didn't arrive until Sept. or Oct. Minus the Cd. Well, I started calling in August for the book. I was told that I would receive it in 2 weeks. I kept calling every 3 weeks until I received the book. I didn't get the cd. So I started calling again. I had to pay for these calls because the company that I orginnally ordered the book said they didn't have anything to do with the shipments of items ordered. Yeah,right, but they took my order and my money. To this day I still haven't received the Cd and since it's been over 30 days I can't return the book for a refund.I have called and sent emails and they don't bother to answer. I'm angry,what else can I do. Virginia

I saw the infomercial a few nights back and thought this sounded like something I'd like to read, having a nutritionist background. I have one little hint about infomercials...before purchasing ANY book, I check with my local library first...and sure enough they had Trudeau's book, "Natural Cures..." This book is a scam! Kevin Trudeau is not looking to help consumers...there is nothing in this book that tells about any sort of natural cure for anything. It is only an advertisement to purchase memberships either by the month, or a lifetime membership for around $500! Lifetime??? are you kidding...he'll be put out of business the way he's going! I've read the other consumer's reports about how the products are ordered and paid for, but never delivered. No wonder Trudeau can afford his trips to China and reverse osmosis pools and hot tubs. The guy is living a life of luxury at unsuspecting consumer's expense! The REAL lessons to be learned here are "BUYERS BEWARE" and "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is!" And a FINAL lesson, check out the book at your local library first and get the real info before plunking down money to a fraudulent scam like this! The only person benefitting from all this hype is Kevin Trudeau!

I ordered the book a couple of days ago from tv and forgot to write down the number. There is no contact number what so ever and no way to get a hold of the idiots. I'm very upset because not only did they take the $24.90 out of my account for the book, they took an additional $78.00 out for god knows what. Someone needs to do something about it!

The only comfort I have is in knowing that I was not the only intelligent person who got scammed.This is my 1st & last infomercial purchase. We waited some time between our initial desire to purchase and actually purchasing.I was talked into a 2nd book for 1/2 price ($14.95 I think) then cd's, bringing my bill total with shipping to around $90. Like everyone else, was disappointed to discover there was really no information in the books or cd's. I didn't expect miracles, but I thought that there would be some small ailment remedies that would work. He did steal, because he promised something that was not in the book at all. His advertising is deceptive and misleading. He is a crook, fraud, theif, and other names I won't state, because I am better than him. Shame on you Kevin Trudeau.

There are no cures in this book, just a lot of talking. I feel this is a total scam. He should not be allowed on the air anymore. I want a refund. I bought 2 books and the CD's

Not only are unauthorized charges being applied to our credit and debit cards, but now some say there are no real "cures" in this book, its just a bunch of mish mosh. I'd like to ask these people that defend this book: If this is not a scam, then why is there absolutely NO contact information on this website? No phone number, no email address where we can write comments or ask question, no fax number, NOTHING! Any website that is legit will have some sort of contact information. I'll tell you why. They charge these monies to your account and hope that you didn't watch the infommercial and write down the number. The number is 847-777-7132 for those of you that didn't. And for those of you that are fighting for your money back, has anyone had any luck yet? Also, lets not forget, this Kevin has played with the law before. He's posed as a doctor, credit card frauds and not new to him, he's hired people to write fake positive comments on one of the sites. This guy is nothing but FAKE.

I have not bought this book nor will I ever. I just wanted to let you all know that this IS a scam plain and simple. I work for one of the companies that takes phone calls for this scam. Trust me when I tell you when you call the telephone number from the infomercial you are getting some poor person in a call center who takes orders for literaly hundreds of other products. When you call in, a script pops up and the poor schlub reads what is on their screen. The book is deceptive and I have quit working for this particular section of the company.I refuse to take any more calls for it. The newsletter is the biggest source of angst. The operators barely know what they are selling because Kevin keeps changing the scripts. One time it was you DONT have to take the newsletters to get the free weightloss cd. The next script you do. Then there was the script that you can decline the newsletters and still get the cd, then all or nothing, It was so confusing and trust me noone likes these calls. Then the upsells that have nothing to do with the book. It is not the person that is taking your order thats trying to scam you. ITS KEVIN!!!!!!!!!!!!! The customer has to say no once, then you are to give a rebuttal, then if they say no again you are allowed to bypass that one, BUT YOU STILL have to read the next one and the next one. The only time you can bypass them is if the customer gets mad and threatens to cancel the order. So in other words if you call the number that is seen on tv then you are getting some shlub that knows nothing but what is on his or her screen. If you need answers from customer service you have to dial 1-847+++++++ and yes you will wait and wait and wait. Its another deversion tactic. Kevin is nothing but a scammer. He needs to be jailed.

Like many others, I decided to order this book when watching an infomercial. Little did I know, I was being charged for not only the book and S & H., but also for some newsletter which costs $71.40, for which I didn't authorize charges. I was promised this money back in my account within 10 days, lets see. Also, this charged resulted 3 overdraft charges in the amount of $30. Now I have to fight for this one too. Has anyone gotten anywhere with these charges?

i bought the natural cures book, and the operator kept trying to get me to buy all this b.s. that wasn't related to the book at all. i got charged an extra 71.40 along with the 24.90. i want my money back!!!!!! i called the customer service line, and i was waiting for a half an hour.

Hi, had recently bought kevin treadu's Natrual cures book out of intreauge at a local [] When i got it home I coulden't wait to read it But to my disbelife I found This: A real nasty soundig disclamer[MY COMMENTS WILL BE IN BRAKETTS]:"It's unbelevable to me in this day and age that the world has come to this i must wright a disclamer at the beginning of this book imagen a person who is suppost to be allowed free speech is to put a disclamer as a preface to his words,thoughts,&opinions. Hevan forbid somone reads theese words and claims to be advesely affected, thus ensureing a berrage of lawsuits filled under the guise of protecting the unknowing victem WHO WAS STUPID ENOUGH TO READ & BELIVE THIS BOOK [ BASICLY HE'S CALLING US(THE READER)STUPID]! in reality,theese lawyers are squashing the rights of people,like my self, from freely expressing their ideas." And that was just part of it. it's Not only the disclamer but for the cures he gives Are CRAP!!!! Beleve me i tried apple cyder vinegar for hart burn but instead of helping it just made me more misrable. MR.Treadu needs to be stoped before his natrual cure therapys hurt someone irreversably. I advise anyone thiking about buying this book not to this book is a scam
