Force Factor Reviews

Same as everyone else, had a trial, had to provide card details, the trial was that with my heart condition. The product was unsuitable. Next thing every month I get a new batch and an Invoice for over a hundred dollars taken out my card. When you try to contact you are not able, phone numbers do not answer. Crap product shonky behaviour.

Thanks to Consumer Affairs I cancelled my order on day I placed it. Did have to hold onto phone to hear a long ad message.. all bs. I cancelled my order as I now question value of product based on deceptive sale practice of this company. This ''hidden'' billing most affects older people who might have trouble with small print.

Hi, just wanted to share. I got this 14-day trial from Force Factor. They charged me 6.23 on one date and 115.66 on another. They are the most grrr can't even think of anything clean to say. I called to cancel. The first person I got sounded stoned, out of her mind. The second one was a li'l better. I called the Canadian number and got someone in the States or Australia. Now I'm sending this product back and if I don't get my full refund I'm calling the cyberpolice that work for my bank. Grrrr I'm so mad.

I ordered the free sample and to get the free sample I have to pay freight of $3.95. So to do this I use the credit card, I get the sample and no problems. Next thing I get a bill for $109.98 and a bottle of Force Factor which I never ordered and on the receipt it says they are going to send a bottle every 6 months until year 3915. I did not sign up to get the additional bottles, just the sample.. This is a huge scam.

We trialled the product and went to cancel. Money for the next shipment was taken from our account same time we got the trial bottle. I have rung and emailed to cancel. Lines are supposed to be open 9 am - 9 pm, I've rung at various times in the day to get an answering machine message saying they are currently closed. Please ring back when open. The emails get returned. How do I cancel?

THIS WEBSITE IS A ** CLEVER SCAM. First: they induce you to ordering 'a free sample' of their gym pills - you only pay for the shipping fee - what you don't know is that if you don't phone them and cancel your 'secret subscription' - they will steal nearly $100 out of your bank account every month to deliver you their ** pills WHICH DO NOT WORK. "Why not just simply cancel your subscription?" I'll tell you why: you can ONLY cancel it by phoning them (that's right - you can't email them). BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE. If you call them you are presented with 2 options: "press 1 to get a call back because all our representatives are busy or press 2 to be put on hold".

I had just placed an order for the free sample when I came across something in Google about the scam that Force Factor does by hiding their membership details in the terms and conditions of their site, and nowhere in the signup details of the free sample. I'm not normally one to fall into the trap of these things. I'm normally completely cynical and research the hell out of everything. But clearly I was in a weak moment. I immediately rang to cancel the free trial sample and the VIP membership. Firstly they offered to extend the trial period out to a month, instead of 14 days, and I told the guy I wasn't happy about that, and I simply wanted to cancel everything. I was told I couldn't cancel within 24 hours because of how their system is setup. As far as I'm concerned 24 hours allows them enough time to send out the trial so that they can't cancel that order which is unacceptable.

Been using product for 2 years & only took 1/2 rec. doses. Can't say I had amazing results but can't complain. Never had any trouble getting hold of rep as I stopped delivery three times as product accumulated on my shelf. When it got low I call up & they would resend. I looked at other sellers of similar products & found a lot of complaints too. Wonder if anyone took samples & had them tested?

My name is **. I'm a 50year old Cancer survivor trying to survive the after effects of chemo & radiation to my body. A very limited income. So when my daughter decided go on vacation she deposited some extra money into my account so I could buy groceries & gasoline. Prior to that I accepted a offer from FORCE FACTOR FREE SAMPLE. Had pay .99 for 30 day supply. Promised make me feel better, with energy.. (Yeah right).

Ditto to all the other complaints. Why would a reputable company have to go to so many slimy business practices to give unsuspecting customers the opportunity to test drive a product. I am going to have to cancel the credit card I used with them b/c out of the blue I got a charge on it from Force Factor that was actually $85, for Test X180 Ignite when the same product retails here in NC for $60 on the shelves. WTF?

My name is **, from WA, like all the testimonials I read about this Force Factor gear, I like you got caught the same way. I blame myself for not reading the small print and it did say free sample, and also said, "when you receive your free sample you don't have do a thing, we will send you your next lot of supplements." You like me, they have your credit card details. We didn't read it properly, we saw FREE, and that is that. When it says FREE, think!!! Is it really FREE. Consumer Affairs has been warning all of us about this sort of advertising for many years. Nothing is FREE, there is always a catch. It's always there, but we must look for it. Anyway good luck next time. I'M TRYING TO CANCEL MY ORDER, NOT MUCH LUCK AT THIS STAGE. I'm into them for $89.98, didn't want it!! Just be more careful. The address for these monsters are PO BOX 535 BRAESIDE VIC 3195 AUSTRALIA.

If you need TESTOSTERONE, the best one to get that really works is from "LAWLEY Direct". I get mine from Lawley's, Western Australia. Like all the others I have been caught by Force Factor. They took money out of my visa account without my consent. If they take anymore out, I will sue them. I will try to get this money back.

Force Factor X180 Ignite - Scam! Watch the small print giving them permission to debit your credit card. This happens when you submit to free trial with absolutely no obligation. Product doesn't work either.

These guys have their scam down to an art. I bought a trial pack of their X180 product two weeks ago. Two weeks later, right after I got the the trial pack I ordered, I got slammed with a charge for $75. I called the number on my bank statement. It leads to an endless loop that prevented me from ever talking to a rep. Next, I called my bank to dispute the charge. Force Factor claims that I signed up for one of those trials with an automatic renewal unless you opt out. So the bank refused to help.

I wish to thank the commenters on the un-cancelable "subscription." I have terminated the credit card that I used for the "free sample." They will hopefully not send me anything further when they find my credit card invalid!

SCAM ALERT! DO NOT Deal with these criminals!! They suck victims in with the free sample where you have to pay postage then they hit you with a $194+ charge! Force Factor (www.forcefactor.com - also with Australian site variations) is a SCAM Site! DO NOT Deal with these guys as they are criminals who get hold of your credit card and rob you! Tell everyone you know about these Scammers!! Go to their Facebook page and mark as scammers so they get ditched eventually. Other Victims: https://www.consumeraffairs.com/health/force-factor.html

When I called, first thing they tried to do was to ship me another product and charge me without asking permission or seeing if I like the product or not. It took me 3 calls just to cancel because they tried so hard to keep me.

Free trial for Force Factor - Test X180 Ignite. I received a promotional advertisement for the product. The only thing they required for a 28 day supply was payment for the shipping and handling. A few weeks later I receive a bottle with 120 capsules and an invoice for $84.98. Evidently, there was an agreement box that I checked at the time of ordering the sample. It stated that I needed to cancel my membership within a certain number of days. Membership? - I thought I was simply getting a free sample. The two options I was given was either to pay to have the product return or pay them 40% of the invoice and keep the product. Very shady business practice. I will tell everyone and their uncle to stay as far away from this company as possible. What a scam!! I also never tried their product the entire 28 days due to the strong odor of the capsules.

While reading a news article on MSN.com I saw an article addressing getting rid of fat, increasing stamina, etc. It claimed that the demand for this product was causing it to be hard to find at GNC and had a button to see if you would qualify for a free sample. I clicked on the button which put me at a page that wanted my name, reason why I wanted the product, and my age. Then I needed to click on another button to get to another page. This page asked for my name, address, telephone number, email address, etc. Then another button to see if you qualified for the free sample. I click on it. There it had the cost of shipping at around $5 on one side of the page but then wanted you to fill out a credit card number submission.

I accepted a promotional offer of a FREE trial 7 day supply of Force Factor Ignite Test X180. I accepted this by checking a box on one a long series of offers ancillary to an offer of entry into a draw to win some money. At a subsequent stage of the process I was prompted to pay about $5 for postage on the free sample. I authorised a charge of this amount to my credit card unwisely it appears. The sample arrived in due course. The first alert that all is not well was today [25th March 2015] when a parcel containing 120 capsules was delivered to my address. On checking my credit card account I find on 17th March $121.84 debited to my account quite without authorisation. I never authorised any ongoing charge to my credit card. I never authorised any one-off charge of $121.84 either. The only authorisation given was for about $5 to be charged ONCE for postage on a free sample.

Same as a previous respondent. The product sample was promised for shipping charges only. About a month after it arrived my CC was debited for the full amount which in Au currency was about 94 dollars. I have taken the capsules as recommended. They didn't seem to make any difference. I am not complaining about that, I just want my money back.

The company offers a free sample of the product charging only shipping. Then they send it and charge the full price of the product. Now an $89.00 charge appears on my bank account.

Bought "free" product; just pay shipping 2.99. Next month get billed 74.98 to cc. Called # and it is endless loop of product promotion. No option to talk to customer service. Disconnects call after 20 min. Upside: AMEX cc reversed charge and put block! Force Factor can suck it!

I accepted the offer of a "free" sample of the product and paid the required $4.99 for P&P. I read the entire page to make sure I wasn't going to get hit with the very unethical automatic order/ payment scam that some lowlife companies perpetrate. The email I received after the order had been accepted ended with just that automatic scam info, which I hadn't found on the site where I placed my order. I figured that when I actually got the product I would still have 14 days to try it out and decide whether or not I wished to continue to use it or not. I placed the order on 21 Feb and am still waiting on delivery.

I never hit enter to send application once I saw shipping charges but they took it upon themselves to charge me for shipping cause I filled out the form and considered trying it when I thought it was totally free but NEVER sent my info or consented to the trial offer. Any company with business practices such as these should make one question the product itself!! Certainly doesn't instill trust or confidence...

Products are worthless especially Test x180 Ignite. The company themselves have so many BBB complaints it's pitiful. I should have check with BBB before I bought into their trial offer!! There was NO FINE PRINT anywhere on the order form! So as far as I was getting was a trial sample for 2 weeks for 4.99. Then they WITHOUT authorization charged my card for 85 bucks! The wife caught the charge couple of days to late to stop the shipment. The product is WORTHLESS, sugar would have worked better!!! Don't waste your money on this or anything from Force Factor!! You WILL regret ever doing so!

I have been a customer of theirs for approximately 2 years! However the last month has seen a change for the worst! They took a payment on 1/2/2015 and NEVER delivered any product, it has been 5 weeks! I have tried contacting them by phone but they do not answer, day or night. Also they do not have an email for contact, anymore. I am out of pocket $142.31 for Product and $3.55 International Fee.

I saw a promo whilst browsing on the net for Force Factor's Test X180 Ignite. For $5 they would send me 28 capsules of this great new product. Being 56 I thought I had nothing to lose to try it for $5. Then a box of 120 comes to my post office at a cost of A$120!! I never agreed to or signed up for any more than the $5 sample. I am prepared to wear this $120 cost once but suffice to say that I am not happy with their conduct. I have emailed them to say do NOT send any more. I may order more in the future dependent on them not trying this dodgy ploy on me a second time. I am really disappointed and just hope the product is better than their slippery promotion.

This company (Force Factor) advertised to customers for a free trial of their product for just the cost of postage but required credit card details to deduct the cost of postage ($5.00 Aus). They have since deducted $142.00 + $4.75 for further products I did not request. Difficult to contact when asking for a refund to send back said product. This is fraud/scam.

I ordered a Force Factor product and they charged me 5 times on my credit card and I still haven't received the item.

Don't be fooled by this lot advertising a 'Free' sample just by paying the postage!! **! Within 14 days of receiving the 'Free sample' these rip off merchants have now charged my credit card another $100+ for an unwanted product and with no invoicing or written authority!! BUYER BEWARE!!

I ordered a 14 FREE sample which I received. If you follow the instructions it only last 7 days. I immediately called to cancel to not get the next shipment scheduled 18 days later which would give you a lapse period in taking the product. Don't call it a 14 day trial. I also had read in the meantime that they are being sued for no proof of the product working.

I called Force Factor after receiving a notice of a pending charge from my credit card company. From the reviews I have read I was very fortunate to speak with a very nice lady identified as Candy. (I was equally as nice finding you get further with folks such as this with sweetness.) She offered a full refund and I ask that she wait online until I received the Return Authorization and cancelation into my email Inbox. She made an excuse that they were very busy but did comply. I received the RMA label and number and thanked her profusely for her help. (wink, wink)

Wow, I couldn't find the fine print at checkout so I got my first month's bottle at $74.98 which I didn't want. They did cancel but would only refund 60% of the price so I got SHAFTED by these crooks. I'm sure my fleecing was better than some others. This company is a good example of Corporate Greed at it's finest. I'll make sure I never buy anything from this company ever so I hope they choke on the money they stole from me. They are worse than TV lawyers.

I got tricked, thinking that I was dealing with GNC. Then found myself dealing with this two-faced company. Before I received the free sample, I was already charged for the next shipment.. Really?!! My question is: why does GNC supporting this scheming business. To the owner of force factor, God don't like ugly, whatever deceitful things you're doing now, you might very well be enjoying stealing people money, but very soon it'll catch up to you...

I ordered the sample of Force Factor volcano for 4.99 and I did call them before the 18 day they said they wanted to cancel further shipment and they ignored that and still charged my account 75.00 automatically. I got back with them and they offered me a 60% refund which came to about 40.00. This company is just a big scam operation. They refused to help or offer any other solution.

I also ordered a "Free Sample" and was charged the following month on my C/C. Message, to Force Factor, who thought of this "SCAM" "YES SIR SCAM" and "why did you allow it to continue." I thought I was working with a reputable company. I actually liked the product, and would have bought more, but I will never use it again because of this ** marketing SCAM. If this is the way you do business then that makes me question how you produce the product. Shame, shame, shame. The phone number that I got a contact person is 1-877-492-7243, received the "RMA" #, got refunded all but $5.00. Go ahead and keep the 5 bucks. Cheapest ** I have ever had.

I purchased a 15-day FREE Trial of a product from ForceFactor.com. I was charged from my checking account, via my VISA Debit Card, $4.99 for shipping only. When I received the product I realized it was not what I wanted so I never ordered any of the product. However, less than a month later, without my authorization, my checking account was charged and additional $74.98. When I contacted the company they refused to refund the amount per their own Refund Policy. However, Ryan, their representative stated that another 120-day supply of the product was already on the way. I told Ryan my bank has already stopped payment on my account and would not authorize anymore payments. I also told him I was filing a complaint with the New York State's Attorney General's Office.

Received the product under a 7-day trial, really didn't like the product. Didn't read the fine print and received another month’s supply and a deduction to my bank account (all my fault, and I'll admit to that). Call Force factor to cancel the subscription and spoke to a representative by the name of Mike. He asked why I was cancelling and I told him it wouldn't work for me. He told me “What do you expect in 7 days?” and I asked him “Then why only a 7 day trial?” which he responded that the money I spent was a waste of money, of which I said “Yes, it was.” He was very rude and just said, “Your subscription is cancelled!!!!” Horrible customer service and product didn't do what they said it would!!!

I called after reading the reviews to cancel my order of the recurring shipments. The guy on the line immediately arguing with me and said I wouldn't be able to tell if the product did anything for me in only 7 days. Said he would extend the trial period until Feb 28th and send me another bottle of trial for free. He then told me since I hadn't receive the original shipment that I would have to call back to cancel. I recorded the conversation and told him I wanted to speak to his supervisor, a TB that point he said he would cancel my order. What an a$$ (not a company you want to deal with!!).

Ordered the free sample. It was shipped. 10 days later it was received. 3 days later I was charged $89 US. Just got a notice that there is a parcel waiting to be picked up. Called FF and they told me that it's been 30 days since it was paid for so they won't refund me. Credit Card company can't do anything since FF haven't broken their own policies. Be warned, you will be charged from you have a chance to test the product.

On 8/12/2014 I ordered a product from Force Factor and authorized payment of $6.04, which was the advertised price for the product. On reading the label, I decided that it was something that it would be of no benefit to me as I am a 71-year old pensioner and this product is for young people who work out every day, so I just put it aside and was prepared to take the loss for being so gullible. To my surprise, today I received a similar looking package from Force Factor and when I checked my credit card statement was surprised to find a deduction of $135.68 was made on my card on 26/12/2014. This deduction was never authorized and it is obvious their scam is to offer a product for a very small amount just to obtain your credit card details and once they have these numbers they just help themselves to peoples money. $135.80 is a lot of money to me as I am an old-age pensioner and my weekly budget after expenses leaves me with under $100 per week to live on. There is no way that I would ever authorize a payment of this magnitude to anyone especially for a product that I have no interest in. I should have gone with my gut when I found they do not accept PayPal, I have now learned a good lesson which is never, never give your credit card details to people like Force Factor or this is what they will do to you.

I ordered a free sample of Test X180 and was shortly afterward charged $85 for a second shipment of the supplement well before I even had an opportunity to try the sample. Force Factor did not even email me a shipment/order confirmation; they just charged my credit card as if hoping it would fly under the radar. When I contacted Force Factor they gave me the run around. It took way too much time on the phone and way too much effort to get a return and refund for a product (which I am still waiting for) that I was only mildly curious about and ultimately did not need. Buyers beware; I would recommend taking your business elsewhere based on customer service alone.

Force factor free sample... what a rip off. You get the free sample but you're actually signing up to be a member and have 14 days to cancel. But no one answered the phone so how do you cancel and you can't send it back without a rma number. So now they have took 58 pounds out my bank. So does anyone know of a UK number that they answer to cancel. Have closed them off at the bank for now but bank will not cover loss as they say I have signed up. Says 30 days to cancel but no will answer. Number I have just says closed. And how much does it cost to phone this number 0808-1012202.

Same as all of you guys. I paid for the S & H of a sample, and not even two weeks after receiving the bottle of that useless product I was again charged for $106.47. I contacted my credit card company and promised them that if I don't get my full refund I'll cancel it. They said they'd help me and now I'm unsuccessfully trying to contact that Scam company called Force Factor. Lesson learned: I'll never purchase again from any place other than the well known ones. Too bad for many other companies with honesty and good intentions. Are there any laws that protect the customers?

I read a few reviews about their customer service so I decided after I ordered my sample that I would cancel my order and purchase product from GNC. I was on hold less than 1 min friendly and professional service. Also heard good review from the GNC employee.

I ordered the $5 sample and they said I would have 18 days to try the product and I would receive the product in 4 days and instead it took 14 days and before I had a chance to try the product they charged my card for $74.95 and after calling them they refused to refund my card. The rep had promised me that I could cancel anytime within the 18 day trial period which turned out to be a complete LIE. BUYER BEWARE FORCE FACTOR IS A SCAM AND NOTHING ANYONE CAN DO ABOUT IT. I FEEL SORRY FOR THE YOUNGER GENERATION WHO HAS TO GROW UP IN THE NEW WORLD OF SCAMS AND OUR OWN GOVERNMENT ALLOWS THIS TO GO ON. Don't waste your time with BBB or any other B.S. operation they care even less than FORCE FACTOR.

Subscribed without notification - I have no idea how this outfit got my credit card information OR anything else. The charge just appeared on my credit card.

Free sample X180 ignite - Signed up for free sample and paid postage with my CC. Apparently two weeks later they sent my "monthly shipment" that I never signed for with an unauthorized CC transaction of AUS $107.44. Now have to stuff around changing cards and wait for refund. An annoying and untrustworthy business and the product was as much use as ** on a bull.

Company offered trial sample of product with 18 day grace period including 4 days for shipping and handling before they would automatically ship product. 13 days after I ordered sample I was charged $69.95 plus $4.99 S&H. Product (both test x 180 and VolcaNO) were crap, worthless garbage. Calling bank to stop payment due to fraud. AVOID THIS COMPANY!! READ THE OTHER REVIEWS HERE AND HEED THIS WARNING!!

They offered me a free sample. I received, but a month later they debited my credit card for U$92.76. Visa cannot do anything for you, they advised me to contact the company and request a RMA number and to have my "account" canceled with them. I called them and I was told they would cancel my account and I would pay for rerunning shipment charges or they would credit my credit card 60% of the amount of U$92.76 and the problem would be resolved. I feel ripped off. Nothing is free in this world. I should know better!

Signed up for a free trial offer and they indicated that I only had to pay for shipping and handling. A month later, a full bottle and invoice against my credit card show up for $85.00 indicating that I'm now enrolled in their automatic monthly shipments. Contacted the company and they advised me that there was a "little" white box on their website explaining this detail and people sometime miss it when they order the free trial. Of course they would not let me return this bottle for credit but I made sure they removed me from their system. I actually thought it was a decent product and was thinking of purchasing more. But if they have to trick people into purchasing their product then I find the company and product questionable.

At first I thought 'Yes' I'll give the sample a try. There was no mention of receiving follow up product but it arrived in the mail. Now when I try to call this mob, their phones are not manned even in business hours.

I tried to contact Force Factor to cancel within the 18 days they give you. The phone number is not working.

I was going to order a 2 week sample and filled out the first bit of the information but changed my mind when I was about to finish. 8 hours later I get a call from a rep who offered to reduce the shipping to 99 cents and include a bottle of some other crap and a $100 rebate for anything but alcohol and tobacco at a bunch of places including Walmart so I agreed since it was "yours to keep even if you don't want the product." 5 days later the product arrives with no rebate coupon, so I call them and ask about it and they give me the number for the company that does the rebates for more info (and I got plenty of info alright). Turns out Force Factor has given their number out to their customers even though they have NEVER done business with Force Factor. They sell bulk rebate certificates to companies to include as a gift and it would've been included with the product if it was legit.

Ordered a trial package, got placed on autoship without my knowledge, now can't get in touch to cancel. Phone # changed, no response to new one.

A complete fraud. Do not get this product. They send it every 15 days not 30 days and then try to up sell you or give it to you at a discount when you complain **. Won't give you full refund. I tried to cancel because it does NOTHING. Should have listened to other reviews like this online.

I ordered a sample of Force Factor which I received and then noticed my credit card was debited for $128 dollars. I was able to contact the company and got half refunded but did not receive any more of their product. A very shonky organization.

I ordered a sample product for 5.00. I received this. They charged my credit card. A few weeks later I got a charge for 92.27, and I never ordered anything. I never received anything. I contacted BMO mastercard, and they wrote back, saying I should have read the fine print. They can charge me forever even if I didn't get any product. So, I just wrote to mastercard, to cancel my card, the only recourse I have. I tried phoning Force Factor, and after being on line for hours, I stopped.

I'm not sure why everyone here is bashing the product? I've used Test X180 by Force Factor and have only seen the results I'm looking for at the gym. It's a solid product and you can buy it in GNC. I know other people who take Force Factor products and have also been pleased with the results too.

I ordered a "one week supply" trial of their product. One month later I was charged $74.98 for an auto resupply. I was not told I would be charged. I was not told that this was an automatic resupply. I received multiple emails that I would call spam and could not find the CAN-SPAM link.

I did not order this product. I never saw this product. I was charged for this product twice. Once for $4.99 and another for $64.98. What kind of company abuses human rights like that. I want my money back. They are nothing but money sucking scam artist. It is based on theft and fraudulence. DO NOT DEAL WITH THIS COMPANY!!!!

Package arrived 3 weeks after ordering free trial for a friend to try. Was debited the small amount. All good. Then within the first 14 days of arrival and no time for friend to try it out, another bottle arrived and I was charged $126.50 on my credit card. I rang at 2am Melbourne time the 1800 084 649 number and actually did get through and was able to cancel on the spot. Awaiting the confirmation email still. Lesson learned and $126.50 out of pocket for a second bottle of something not wanted. Billing dates were within 14 days of each other, which might actually negate their claims of not cancelling within 18 days.

Force Factor is overpriced JUNK!!! They will get you to submit your credit card info, put you on automatic shipment, and charge your credit card monthly. Go to your local GNC or Max Fitness and buy your supplements - you will save money and get better products there. A good diet and exercise program will give you much better results than Force Factor.

FORCE FACTOR = CON / RIP-OFF / SWINDLE / FRAUD / SCAM. This company is FRAUDULENT!! They SCAM you into getting a "trial sample" then start shipping and BILLING you for more of the product!! Their products are CRAP!! DO NOT request a sample of any of their products or THEY WILL RIP YOU OFF BLIND!!! This is typical of the lowest, scummiest, con artist companies on the internet and they MUST BE AVOIDED AT ALL COSTS!!! DO NOT have ANY dealings with this company because they're probably the only form of life lower than the AIDS VIRUS!! BE WARNED!!!

Test x180 ignite (still smoldering!). $5.52 deducted for FREE Trial... no time to gauge benefit - next deduction $121.82 from my acct. Tried to contact consumer many times - Aus no.1800 084 649 recorded voice. Box with vits. arrive 2 weeks after deduction! Same ** again. This time $126.01. How to get out of it?

Same experience as everyone else that have posted their dissatisfaction with these people. I received the trial then at day 8 a full month’s supply arrived and I find that $106 deducted off my card. No authorization was given and at that time after 8 days of using the trial product I decided then that I wasn't going to continue. It took approximately 12-15 days for the trial bottle to arrive and then the months supply arrived in 8 days... WTF. They clearly sent the next supply pretty much straight away. Trying to contact them through the 0800 number has been fruitless... Message I'm receiving from that number “thank you for calling... we are closed, phone during 9am and 5pm.” Its BS. Can't even send the ** back because they state “no return will be accepted without an RMA number.” Terrible business practice utter rip-off. Will continue to try and make contact with them but will also go to my bank and block these clowns from trying to rip me off further... Hopefully it won’t be too late before these cons take more money from my account.

Like others I applied for a free sample from this company. Like others I didn't see any membership or agreement to further deductions and product. They got me for AU$107 dollars. When I finally got an answer I was informed no refund was available. I explained I had cancelled the credit card so I then received an Email cancelling my "membership". All legal, all planned and all totally unethical. Beware of Force Factor. There was a receipt sent with the package but no mention of further shipments nor deductions.

Do not 'force' buy from Force Factor and encourage their dishonest business practices. I requested a sample supply for $4.99 and that was the only commitment made. My credit card was charged not once but twice for 89.99 US (Can $98 and $103). I called over the long weekend (Aug 30 2014) and spoke with Emile who read the script on the Force Farce and this membership deal. I was never aware of signing up for this membership. Then he offers this ridiculous 60% refund deal for the second purchase as the first one expired because it was after 30 days from date of (sic) purchase. They did send me a cancellation confirmation where I first became aware of (sic) my membership number.

Although I did order the free trial, I had no idea there was an automatic monthly delivery system which would come each month and is impossible to stop other than to shut down the account that it is connected to. I sent the first full month supply back with a request to stop and yesterday I received my second month of supplements. So far $160.00 has been removed from those account and I can't stop it. Seems that if those product was "so good" that they wouldn't have to resort to this crap. Even if it did do everything it says, I would not recommend it due to its poor customer service.

I purchased the trial bottle of Force Factor. Tried to contact them to cancel, but could not get through. This was an 1800 number. When I eventually got through, at first they denied about the phone, then admitted they had some problems. Got an e-mail and e-mailed but got no reply. Took some money from my account stating that I had received a bottle of Force Factor. However it was then admitted that they normally just leave the package at the front door. This to me is not accepting any products and will not take any responsibility... They tried to refund, but as I had stopped the card, the bank cancelled it meaning that in Australia the account is cancelled and will not allow anyone depositing money into account. When I spoke with them, they said their policy is that they can only refund to original account and seeing the bank won't allow it, they say they can't do anything about it, and will not send a money order or put it into another account. Talk about a con. I asked to speak to a manager, but was told I could not. The person spoke to was a person called Courtney.

I wish I had had the foresight to review the business policies and practices of this company prior to ordering my "Free Trial!" Well, I ordered the free trial and then noticed a few days later that my credit card, used to pay for shipping of the free trial, had been charged $74.98. Apparently this is a monthly charge for the full-blown 30 day supply which I did not order/authorize. Be careful when dealing with this company!

I too signed up for the "free trial online, you just pay postage" with no continuing refill anywhere to be seen. It took 8 days for the product to arrive. The product didn't work for me, so I was not going to reorder for any reason, and lo and behold today there is a debit on my account for $74.98 and their reps were completely and totally disrespectful and refused to give a refund nor confirmation of the cessation. I will turn it over to my bank and also file a complaint on the BBC website.

The result of the free trial period was very disappointing and did not wish to continue. Next a consignment was delivered without authorization to continue the course and the debiting of my credit card again without specific authorization. There was only an agreement for trial period and that was all. I have tried to contact Force Factor online and that's impossible as no email address provided. Followed up via the only contact means, a telephone number which says "Ring during business hours 9-5" which I did and no means for providing a missed call so no direct ability to contact these people which all points to a scam situation. Beware to all prospective users.

Test X180 did not work for me. The product is overpriced. I purchased a supplement at the local health store for 1/3 the price that worked much better. Am canceling my subscription today.

I received a free sample not trial, just paid shipping and handling. Today I find a pending charge of $84.98 on my account. I will be reporting them to the better business bureau and reporting them as fraud to my bank. I would think if enough people do this they will be forced to change their policy or be forced to close.

I purchased the trial bottle of Force Factor for l$4.99 which apparently covered the postage. A couple of weeks later, my credit card was billed $101.33. After a month of attempts to contact Force Factor, they advised me that once I received the supply of Force Factor I could return it for credit using the special label supplied by them. I returned the pills as directed at a cost of $11.00 for shipping. A month later, I still had not received a refund. I called again and was informed that It would take another 7 to 10 days before a refund could be processed. I finally received a refund for $81.33 with no explanation as to why the refund was less than the amount originally charged.

Same as everyone else- signed up for a "free trial" and missed the deliberately obfuscated tick-box to sign up for a monthly subscription, and did not read the "terms and conditions" thoroughly. Then received unwanted packages for nearly $100 Australian dollars per month until I cancelled my credit cards, as the offered 1800 contact number does not work from Australia. They sent me a special offer for just 99c shipping when I originally passed on supplying my credit card, just to ensure they could do the scam..

As with everyone else, I ordered the sample product and paid for shipment of 4.99 USD. A few weeks later I get another packaged and charged 69.99 USD. I had no clue I was on some auto enrollment program that ships this crap monthly. I know I did not accept this auto-enrollment on a monthly basis so I decided to attempt a re-order and find out how or why I was charged and shipped another bottle - I am furious. Well behold the fine print... You have to cancel in 14 days or forced into this membership program. Really, Force Factor?

Have just been scammed. Only just purchased (paying postage only) the free sample of Force Factor & then started doing some research to find all this! Feel like a twit! I want to cancel my c/card now to save all the hassle. Anyone else do the same?

Reading the reviews here, I'm astonished to realize that this company have been doing this kind of scam for many years now. They ship the "sample" which takes weeks to arrive here in Australia then without warning ship another package but this time charged US$90. I tried the product and was unhappy with it only to realize I had another one coming. I'm reporting them to the Australian Fair Trading Dept. Stay away Aussies!

There are multiple problems to report. 1) When I signed up for free trial and paid for the shipping, the acceptance box I checked had no fine print. I didn't discover until 3 weeks later the fine print was hidden on the very bottom left of the screen, out of sight from where you enter your credit card info. Had it been it clear sight where I enter my credit card information I would have never taken trial. 2) I took these supplements exactly one day. 2 in the morning and 2 before I worked out. That night I had the worse diarrhea I have ever had. I have never taken another pill. 3) A few weeks later I noticed my bank account had a charge by Force Factor of $74.98 processing.

I can verify all the following complaints. Ordered a "free" trial with paying only "shipping" costs but was then billed $75 the next month. Called the company and wanted to knock the price down to $40/month. Hide all the monthly billing baloney in the fine print. This company should be reported.

I am being charged almost $100 a month from Force Factor for a product that I did not order and the worst part is I never gave them any credit card information. The government needs to look into this company.

Unauthorized charges to my credit card 14 days after agreeing to pay for JUST THE SHIPPING of a Free sample of Force Factor X-180. Calling the company was a total runaround with no solution. "Mail the product back to them and wait 2 to 4 weeks for a full refund" or "Accept an immediate refund of $40 and I can keep the product". Online research yielded the following information: "Alert! Force Factor uses a free sample 'Scam' and automatic charge to your credit card 14 days later for unwanted product that is average to below average at best."

I have taken this product for 2 months. Two weeks ago I went in the hospital with Atrial Fibrillation. I believe this stuff caused this to happen. I want money back and medical bills paid in full. I want shipments to stop and money recovered. I want a stop to this debit.

Unauthorized charges to my credit card 14 days after agreeing to pay for the shipment of a Free sample of Force Factor X-180. Calling the company was a total runaround with no solution. Online research yielded the following information: "Alert! Force Factor uses a free sample 'Scam' and automatic charge to your credit card 14 days later for unwanted product that is average to below average at best. This company is listed with your local Attorney General's Office and the BBB in most states for their just short of illegal business practices."

I obtained a free sample of Test 180 and paid for shipping and handling with my credit card. Before I was even half finished with the sample I was billed $90.93. My credit card company notified me of the suspicious charge by phone. Knowing a shipment, not the sample, was coming I refused it from USPS. However, I was billed again for $90.93 and had to contact my credit card company again to dispute the charge. Although it has been 17 days since refusing the product, Jeff at Force Factor said they have not received it yet but would get a refund when they do. I know mailing only takes 3 days.

I purchased a "trial" sample of the product in December 2013, and had the same experience as all complainants to this site. Sadly, I did not check out this company's reputation online before purchasing, but after my own experience, must agree with all of the complainants regarding the dubious (criminal?) activities of this organization. It has been set up to dupe, and the CC companies are equally as responsible in the perpetration of this fraudulent activity? Buyer beware.

I tried the sample, was no longer interested, attempted to cancel. Spoke with an customer service agent that was apparently hired from a high pressure boiling room. This is a perfect example on how to kill a brand that is trying to grow in a very competitive market. I had to call again and spoke to another agent "Mike" who was professional and attentive.

Dodgy Practise - Force Factor Test X180 - Another one who signed up for a 'FREE'. I got billed in Dec. & got the goods but THEN I got billed in January but haven't received anything (5th Feb). Trying to cancel but not easy from UK. In my opinion - you should avoid this company like the plague.

I signed up for a free limited test sample and paid shipping and handling charges, but had to give a credit card number. I received the sample a few days later. 30 days later, I received a 30 day supply that I did not order and was charged $74.98 to my credit card. I did not order this merchandise or authorized the payment. I called the company to stop further shipments and charges, but they were adamant about reversing the charge for the 30 day supply I had received unsolicited. Afterwards, I entered the company's website to review the terms and conditions, and was able to locate them in small print and after having to scroll down beyond the point where you accept to pay the shipping cost for the "free" sample. This is misleading and unethical.

Same thing sign up for free sample... Now I'm being charged $74.00 for being enrolled in a monthly program. They bury it in the fine print. Very shady company!!!! Had product just show up in the mail box with a bill. They email a tracking number with the sample package, but just send you the monthly $74 without notifying you.

I ordered the free sample from this crooked company on 1-20-14. I got it a couple of days later. Yesterday I got a call from American Express about suspicious charges on my card 1-21-14. I had to cancel my card and get a new one issued. Then yesterday a package comes from Force Factor, a whole new bottle of 60 pills which I did not order and a charge of $74.00 on my card! I just disputed the charge with AMEX. This is a ripoff and I believe this company had something to do with the bogus charges on my credit card.

After seeing an advertisement for Force Factor health supplement (Force Factor Test X180 IGNITE), on the internet, giving a free sample and only having to pay for post and handling, I ordered and paid $9.99 US currency. This was debited against my account as $10.99 Aus, on the 3rd December. On checking my bank account today, 30th December, I have discovered that Force Factor has taken a further $101.92 Aus. from my account. This withdrawal was unauthorized and I did order or receive any further product from the company Force Factor. As a Retired Detective of Police I am hoping that you can assist in this matter.

I AGREED TO A SAMPLE SUPPLY AND GAVE MY CC# FOR SHIPPING. Within the next week I was charged 79.99 and received a month supply of a product I neither wanted or gave authorization for purchase of. They have no information for returns or refunds on their site and am reporting them to the Consumer Advocate Bureau.

I agreed to pay $6 shipping for a free 14-day sample of Force Factor. Buried in the text was an implied consent for recurring monthly shipments. They shipped an $80 bottle at the same time as the sample. I have not been able to get my credit card company to reverse the charge. There is nothing new or revolutionary about this product. The ingredients have been available for years, and can be obtained in single supplements with higher doses for far less. I didn't intentionally order this product, I don't want it, I'm not going to use it. I encourage everyone that has been fooled by this business practice to post on every site they can find.

I, like others, ordered the $4.99 sample and was charged $75, 18 days later. Don't fall for this.

I fell for the offer of a Force Factor sample without realizing I was signing up for automatic shipments. Four days after I placed the sample order I attempted to cancel the automatic shipments. So far I have spoken to 3 representatives who work extremely hard to keep you as a customer. They promised my account was cancelled and an email was forthcoming, yet no cancellation email arrived. Each call back I'm told your account didn't cancel but I've now cancelled it. I still have 14 more days to see if I can get this cancelled before an automatic shipments comes and I get charged $75. If I had the Corporate Office address I would send a certified letter of cancellation so I would have proof of cancellation for the credit card company. This is extremely frustrating.

What happened is basically the same as other people's complaint here. They try to hook you up with cheap sample ($8). And after one month, they start to send you the product every month and charge your card for $80 for that. When I realized that after several months and called them, they said I agreed to subscribe for the service when I purchased the sample and it is my fault not to read through the contract. (I swear they hide the clause somewhere in the agreement that you won't be able to notice.)

I ordered a free trial of Force Factor X180 for $4.99 shipping. Buried in the user agreement is a clause that has them sign you up for a monthly supply that I was unaware of because I did not review the agreement carefully enough. I feel this is an unscrupulous practice as everyday we have to check the user agreement. No one has the time to review all of the legal jargon contained in these agreements. This company will send out another month's supply and charge your credit card $74.00. Buyer beware as this company will rip you off!

Similar to others, I fell for the Free Sample scam. I paid shipping and received the product about 10 days afterwards. I didn't notice the fine print until where it says I have to cancel or they will be sending me additional product. I saw this charge on my credit card for $74.99USD and immediately called Force Factor. I haven't received the product yet. Lady was nice but told me it was my fault for not reading the website carefully. In the end, she sends me a return mailing label and said she would refund my money after receiving the unopened package. When I do receive the package, I will definitely return it. If the product was any good, I might have continued to buy from them but with this type of customer service, I will never buy any Force Factor product again. I'm sure they are constantly getting calls to reverse charges for their negative response selling method. It's just wrong.

This review is not to bash this company. I will try to be fair and only state the facts of my experience with Force Factor. For starters, I came across this free trial of Force Factor products. It is supposed to be a 14-day trial bottle (I chose Test X180), and I was only supposed to pay for shipping. The checkout process seemed fine, and the transaction went through smooth; although I waited for my bottle and didn't receive it until 19 days later. Upon opening the box and reading the usage directions, I found out that the recommended dosage is 2 pills a day, not one, as stated in the nutrition facts. So the 14 pills they sent is a 7-day trial, not 14.

Your free trial signs you up for a monthly subscription of a supplement you may not want. I don't remember ever seeing anything that stated so, maybe because I purchased via a link on Kyle Leon's Muscle Maximizer site. In any case, I called them and told them I don't want a subscription and I wanted it stopped. They shipped me another bottle. At about 75 dollars a bottle, this is no deal. In fact, you can get this stuff off Amazon for a little over $40. I called them again telling them I wanted it canceled, and while talking, they charged me for another bottle. I've learned my lesson on free samples. Does it work? I stopped taking it after the first auto ship. After all, who markets a product like this if it can stand on its own?

I ordered a free 14-day trial and shortly after receiving it, I got a full bottle for $74.98 without my knowledge. When I tried to return the bottle, I had to argue with the representative of Force Factor for almost an hour. Even after an hour of arguing they still wouldn't give me a 100% refund, nor would the representative let me talk to a supervisor or manager. He actually hung up when I insisted that I talk to a manager. Be aware when you buy products from this company!

Trial offer - Buyers beware. I got their sample. Before I had the chance to cancel the next order, it was on my credit card. What a gimmick. Their free sample turns into orders before you get your credit card bill.

On 7/29/11, I ordered a one-time free sample of Force Factor dietary supplement. I was let to believe that I had a 14-day trial period once I received the product. If I decide not to continue using the product, I am to cancel by the end of the trial period or another would be sent to me at the regular price.

I have been experiencing several side effects from using the product. For example, several months while using Force Factor, I experienced muscle spasms and stiff neck every morning. I have stopped using the Force Factor for several months now and I no longer have the aforementioned side effects. I contacted Force Factor on December 27, 2010 to cancel my subscription and to return two unused bottle and one open bottle. As a result, my subscription was canceled. However, Force Factor refused to have me return unopened bottles for a full refund of my money.
