Extremely upset about being duped!

Was told by our credit card company that The health Sciences Institute appears to be a scam. Was charged $37 for absolutely NOTHING!!!!!!! We NEVER received anything in the regular mail nor anything via email. Please, please don’t be duped by these unscrupulous scam artists!!

What is the discount code when buying a product mentioned in Miracles of the Vault

I would like to order a product called Syntra 5 from the USA. As a member of HSI I can buy the product at an exclusive discount of 15% but I do not have the discount code to access the discount. In addition you wrote in the book Miracles of the Vault that this product is only available in US Canada Australia and the United Knigdom but when I ordered it to Israel there was an option to sent this product overseas.

Trickery

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I received an email about blood pressure, so I looked into it. The article after finally getting towards the end said the answer was in the book that cost $19.99 so I went to order book and at the bottom line once I put in my bank card info it showed me $37.00 and that I had joined a membership of 1 year. It never mentioned anything about a membership. When I tried to respond back to them to cancel, the email address did not work. I finally got a number for them and had to hold for 10 min or more. They told me they would reimburse me my $37.00.

A complete farce!

After watching endless, long winded videos, I decided to give this a try. What a mistake! Constant e mails which turned out to be a pitch to sell overpriced supplements. I cancelled the membership, unsubscribed from e mails, & thought that was it. I just received another "book", along with a congratuatory letter, thanking me for my membership renewal. Since they have my credit card number, I am furious at the prospect of giving these people any money for more stories that never get to the point!

Scam/junk

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I did it. Even after listening to the hour-plus long infomercial.

The kind of infomercial that sounds like they're trying to scam you. But I was excited about hearing about natural cures. I decided myself that maybe they had a good product but we're horrible at marketing. After all I've decided that they're terrible at marketing and they have no product to speak of.

It's more of a searching archive. The infomercial talked about all sorts of benefits for seniors. I figured it might be some sort of catalog with companies that give discounts for seniors. Never saw anything like that.

Never saw anything new on anything. I went to their products tab. I noticed that none of the products were wild sourced or organic. In natural medicines that's the hugest difference.

If you don't have wild Source non-GMO organic you don't have anything. When I called their customer service line the person on the other end, though American, was so stupid or rude I'm not sure which or possibly both. This site is a joke it literally doesn't have anything to speak of.

It's like buying nothing. I'll let you know how the cancellation / refund go.

Why don’t you report your card lost/stolen and get a new number. Tell your credit card company to block all charges on your old card. Then ignore their emails and charges.

Health Sciences scam money from the elderly praying upon our vulnerabilities and aling health.

After checking my credit card statement, I noticed a $37.00 charge and called 888-240-****. I calming gave the operator the reference number assigned.

I was told the charge was an annual membership fee that I had signed up for 1 year ago. I do remember ordering some Hillary Clinton propaganda which after paying for and reading, promptly threw it in the garbage where it belonged. DO NOT ORDER ANYTHING FROM THIS UNSCRUPULOUS COMPANY. My wife has Alzheimer and I will do anything to help her.

The Health Sciences Institute claim they have a cure to everything from Alzheimer, to cancer, to poor eyesight when in reality, all they want is your money. Don't give them a dime.

Horrible - they are cons and promote extreme Trump lies

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Ordered a book for curing cancer and it was full of useless information. Tried to return it but customer service representative was so confused she couldn't help. So I called an international number and was assured my money would be refunded without my having to return the book (I guess they know it's garbage too). Disturbingly, after I ordered this, I received daily emails regarding "the shocking truth about Hillary Clinton", that Trump was correct in his assessment of her, that she's colluding with the Russians, etc. I wonder what the true agenda of HSI is? The customer service rep said that I get these libelous emails because Hillary is in collusion with Big Pharma. So are most politicians because Big Pharma has deep pocketed lobbyists. BUt if I want conspiracy theories, I can turn to Fox (Faux) News. These allegations appear to border on libel, and it undermines the integrity of HSI (if it has any) to be promoting "miracle cures" along with Trump extremism.

Mr U

What kind of idiot pushes THEIR political views into a website about HEALTH?

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I HOPE HSI READS THIS... BUT IT MIGHT HELP SOMEONE ELSE. I have been a member for a few years and many times have found helpful health information at HSI. Most info was needed for helping others in my family fight cancer... and other health issues as well. Here are the problems. It is VERY odd for anyone to push their political views on a website dealing with HEALTH. it is also odd to have a website that is rigged to automatically renew membership fees and NOT give the member a way to change that on his online account with you. I went to the HSI website today and attempted to do that. Well, you have an icon that says "To edit account" BUT when you click it on, it allows you to only change your email address. IT WAS RIGGED THAT WAY! Not a website glitch. What a joke! If you would only be above-board with people, and not try to sucker them into signing up with you with bird-brain gimmicks, LONG LONG sales pitches, and underhanded dishonest tactics, you would probably double your membership. it is a shame, because I really did find many good health tips and information, but can not remain a member with such an unprofessionally run company. I will call my bank/credit card company Monday morning and make sure I never again get automatically billed by you again or have to read about POLITICS when I am trying to focus on HEALTH. I will check back next year to see if anything has changed with HSI, but frankly the above mentioned problems seem deep-rooted and done by the top people (owner) at HSI . So I doubt the problems will go away anytime soon. But who knows. People change. Maybe they will grow up at HSI.

Preferred solution: Quit trying to hustle people and trapping them into memberships. Pushing your own personal political feelings onto your membership is just creepy and a juvenile thing to do. Correct those things and maybe I will renew my membership.

We don't need your political view either.

Guest

I just heard more of the pitch than I wanted. If he hadn't kept talking about Hilary I would have sworn he was talking about Trump.

Not sure why he thought this would make me want to try his health scam.

Then it occurred to me that he was talking to the ignorant and gullible who fell for the Trump narrative. They are the ones who will fall for something this stupid.

Guest

Would have signed up but never do with auto-renewal.

Guest

I never sign up when it has an auto renew clause. I am 82, who knows it i will even be alive next year?

Guest

There are several websites that say you can edit, (address, payment, whatever)....the goal is to have you CALL them. It's suppose to be for your security...I understand your statement about political affiliation but you knew that going in, didn't you?

I would love it if my favorite store or movie star kept their political views to themselves, their views do jot align with mine. I have the power to not spend my money, just as you did.I appreciated you review as I was just about to join.
