The Alternative Daily Reviews

They never sent me books, was supposed to be $37.00. Charged me $167.95. Nothing ever received...

There is a horrible article in this publication from Monday, December 18th, titled, "The 7 Benefits of Masturbation."

Problem! Red Flags! AOOOGAH! AOOOGAH! This is NOT a drill!!!

For men, PORNOGRAPHY is generally the medium used as the excitatory mechanism, and PORNOGRAPHY is good for NO ONE except the PORNOGRAPHY industry.

The article was written by "Livvi Hess," who I expect is a woman, and therefore someone who has likely never experienced the multi-faceted nightmare of a pornography addiction. Here is her short bio:

"Liivi is an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach and is training to become a doula. She inspires women to find peace and personal power by taking control of health and fertility naturally. Liivi‘s passion is ancestral nutrition and primal lifestyle design. She and her partner Will live between Toronto, Canada and Queenstown, New Zealand.

I have a copy of the Apple Cider Vinegar Miracle, 81 ways to Naturally Cleanse your Body & House and More.! My cost $1.00 and I Thank Goodness for this book, It does everything it says it will do.

The purchase date was 6/ 15/ 2019 and let me tell you what. I suffer with Ulcerative Colitis and those of you who have this disease know what I am talking about! Page 39. Oh it's a Miracle alright and from now on I will use the application and nothing but. It really works. Try it.

My impressions of this email subscription have been consistently poor since I subscribed. They have lots of "clickbait" links in the newsletter with topics that are of interest. I call them clickbait because when a person gets to the actual article, there is never any information of substance.

Today they had a link to a doctor (!) promoting the current administration's response to Corona Virus.

That was the last straw. I'm done with this cluttering my email inbox.

I placed an order for The Hydroponic Garden Secrets only was to pay for shipping. When I got the receipt I noticed it was for 93.95, for two items I wasn't aware of ordering. Actually I didn't even think the order had gone through as I cancelled it out and closed the page because I was getting hit with unwanted advertisements. I've called and sent an email, but it's over a holiday weekend so it will be Tuesday at best before I hear anything. It's a bait and switch, shame on them. I definitely will not do business with them.

I was skeptical, but accepted the offer to pay only postage and receive the free recipe book. It's excellent ... I made one of the recipes easily and it was fantastic. I would share it at any potluck!! Now I'm interested in their other recipe books.

Hi, just wanted to share my experience about "The Hydroponic Garden Secrets". I saw the ad on social media about the "free 10$ shipping" book and I ended up on this page to see if it's legit. After reading some of the comments on here, I decided to take the chance and purchase it.

When you purchase you will be redirected to a bunch of other pages that advertise some of the other products page after page, you just need to scroll to the bottom of each page and click the "not interested" button until you reach the end. This way you won't be charged more than expected and will be redirected to the dashboard where you'll get to download the 3 promised e-books plus some more complementary e-books as well, around the same topic.

After a few days the tracker link showed on the dashboard and I could track the shipment through the USPS website. I sent an inquiry and it took them some days to answer it but they eventually did. I ordered the book on Jan 28 and received it in VA yesterday (Feb 8).

I didn't read the book yet, so I can't really say anything about the content at this point. So yeah, it's legit but it just takes time.

Hope this helps :)

This is a total rip off from Square Foot Gardening by Mel Bartholomew. Mel created this system in 1976. Rip off alert.

I okayed the postage charge for a cookbook called Plant Powered Sweets and Treats by Dr. Amanda Levitt but then was bombarded with other offers through clickbank. I clicked no through all offers until I submitted what I thought was the initial postage fee. There was no dollar amount showing that I was charged. I was very leary about it but when I went back to cancel there was no way to cancel. I have received 3 small paperback books with no return address. I see that I was charged $89.68 on my credit card through PayPal. Paypal is asking for purchase documentation before they will refund which I of course do not have. Dr. Amanda Levitt do you really want your name attached to this company? This is fraudulent advertising!

I ordered the "free book" - and even one more book on plant-based recipes. Then - no invoice came up. I googled the company, and the first thing that came up were complaints for the Better Business Bureau.

I immediately went to chat, and stated that I did not receive an invoice. The "Chat Person" sent me an invoice, and I discovered that I was charged for several things I did not order. I was very careful to click "No Thanks" for several other offers - but was charged anyway. I told the "Chat Person" that I wanted to cancel my entire order. He asked me to wait while he made the refund request. While I was waiting, I called my charge card company, and found out that my card had already been charged. I explained the situation, and the charge was flagged for dispute was placed under observation. I had made the purchase less than 7 minutes before.

When the Chat Person replied, he stated that it would take 1-2 days for the charge to appear on my credit card, and then 3-5 days beyond that for the refund to appear. I replied that I had already contacted my credit card company, that the charge was already there, an that it had been flagged. No money has been transferred - and that no money would be transferred. I would look forward to the charge being dropped very soon.

We'll see what happens next. Dang! I am usually so careful...not sure how I got sucked in this time except that I am reducing meat and sugar in my diet, and this seemed like it could be helpful.

I will report back if the refund does not come easily. I'm happy that my credit car has good customer service...makes the annual fee worth it.

I ordered the Vinegar book.... paid for it.... never got it. I have sent 7 emails, two of which were answered that the book is on its way- even had a tracking number. It was bogus. Never received. Called this morning... spoke with three girls, the first two hung up on me. I was not rude- just asking what happened? The third, Alissia, was very polite

Like many others, Y was going to order the "Free" book. After being BOMBARDED by clickbait "Wait, there's more" ads I cancelled the order. I received a popup stating that if I quit now my order will not be processed, and asked if I really wanted to quit.

I selected YES, to cancel. The popup even asked why I cancelled mt order. I said I was tired of clicking through constant ads.

The next day I discovered that they charged $225.45 to my PayPal account/ I immediately challenged it, but it already cleared my bank,causing a NSF condition, and fee.

So far, their "Customer Service" has played dumb.

Bait and switch on a free book on facebook re hydroponic gardenings -- overcharge, no delivery, then another charge 14 days later for an unordered product Now, every FB advertiser is on my target list as a fraud, and these people have been turned into the BBB, and will face every other venue with exposure.

This company needs to be put out of business and its principals prosecuted.

Good day

I long ordered the "Free" hydroponics Book but was charged USD 37 presumably for postage, now the trail just went cold, no one responds to my queries.

Please assist.

Regards.

We are being charged without even having visited the damn web site I believe these people are getting information from facebook accounts and helping themselves they should be thrown in jail along with the folks at facebook

I ordered a book about hydroponic gardening, which was supposed to be "free" (with $10 charged for media rate shipping, about three times the actual shipping cost.) There were to be four other books also sent. Instead I got a single plagiarized book about the "Secret Garden" and several E-books.

I don't think hard copies of the other books even exist, and "Secret Garden" isn't worth the paper it's printed on.

STOP STEALING!

I sent the company a complaint:

'This is a joke right?

This book has so much abject plagiarism in it that I am surprised it found a publisher.

One can take just about any sentence and do a web search to find that sentence verbatim online

There is truly nothing in it that merits it being titled "Secret Garden".

Seed companies offer more real information!

The book honestly has no 'saving grace'.

And that 'just pay shipping'?

One would hope for first class shipping, but no, it's sent Media Mail, which costs exactly $2.66 for the first pound and $3.17 for a 2-pound book as anyone can see on the USPS website.

You charged $9.95!

Who would imagine that you would create such hype and mislead people in this manner without yourselves examining the book and listening to your customer complaints?

To say I am disappointed is an understatement and I will try to alert the Facebook community where I found this "amazing offer" to the facts.

The same applies to the e-books touted as bonuses.

All of them are likewise free for the searching online.

I cannot imagine why your company chose to foist this on the social community.

Your checkout method is another bad example of business ethics in my opinion.

The unwary and careless shopper winds up owing mega-dollars for unwanted books unless they read carefully and quickly.

Then there are the dozens of unwanted, unrelated emails pouring into my inbox.

Even when one clicks "unsubscribe", most just keep sending those hard-sell emails.

It's a nightmare!

I think you should pull your ad for this nothing book and refund to all who bought it in good faith, myself included.

After buying the book and reading the e-book online, I researched the complaints about this book and found the Better Business Bureau list. I intend to share that everywhere I can.

This is simply ethically wrong, IMO.

All buyers deserve refunds.

I was interested in the free book ($9.95 shipping), decided to get a few more things for $37 , and ended up being charged $90 !!

They kept offering things on the way to checkout, without giving a clear opt-out link. I clicked through, thinking I was bypassing the extra offers, so I didn't realize I was being charged for things on each page I clicked through.

At no point did they give me my total. That's how they make their money: misleading customers into paying for more things than they want.

I reciver the wrong book. Tried to EMAIL but could not find the space to type. I wanted gardening with no soil/dirt and got another book. I am [email protected] number 727`744`2740 Gardening with out soil or dirt is the book I wanted,,,,,

I was charged 37.00 I did not order and not; able to download item, I think it is.
