V Shred

You start off with this video of Vince explaining how to confuse your metabolism and all the science that's behind it. I paid and then when I looked at "my stuff", it was a calorie-counting diet plan and it turns out that you have to pay extra for the custom meal plan. So I had to pay more to get what he explained I would get in the first place. I requested a refund and explained it wasn't what I expected and they were extremely understanding and gave me my refund. I would recommend if you are willing to pay a little more.

If I could give it zero stars I would. One star is too high for this scam.

I noticed the charges on my account and tried to get them reversed, the company refused since I didn't try it out. Even though I told them I didn't order it. Below it asks for an order number to validate, since I didn't order it I don't have an order number. So I'm stuck with two charges totaling $173 for a product I don't have. I have contacted my bank and they are trying to dispute the charge. Above this article states this company has a 30-day money-back guarantee. These charges appeared on my account Sunday, today is Thursday, only 4 days later. A company that offers a 30-day money-back guarantee but doesn't stand behind that guarantee is not a company anyone should do business with, no matter how successful they claim to be.

From the beginning there exist lots of technical issues like not being able to get access to videos or information. Pricing is unclear, I thought it was 1/2 the price I was charged and then it was explained very differently what I was actually being billed for. Then I thought I was getting a 90-day meal plan but it turns out, even after paying the additional fee, the plan was for four weeks, which honestly is one week with you repeating the week for the additional 3 weeks.

The Facebook page is okay, but there isn’t a lot of info from a coach. Just others saying whether they are doing ok or not. Lots and lots of emails that are ads...I was extremely disappointed. The coaching consisted of me reporting my progress and a very generic "that a girl" if I did okay and no response, inspiration or additional advice for difficulties. You are also responsible to make sure you don’t slip between the cracks. I don’t feel I received what I paid for so, no, I wouldn’t recommend this to a friend, client or enemy.

6/28/19 - I have added a star to my rating. It means the product was "Not what I was hoping for,'' which is correct. But in the end, the company took a flexible position because it was clear they do not even sell a product that was suitable for me. I would have paid for the keto diet, but it was not available as a stand-alone item. They issued a full refund the same week, which was back in April. They need to improve their website, if they want to avoid reviews like mine.

They just go on and on, send you a cheap email instead of real plans. Buyer beware. Once you buy one thing they just keep gnawing at you over and over for you to buy more of their crap.

I filled out the questionnaire and watched the video. At the end, Vince said you would get the program and all the free gifts for a one-time payment of $57. So I bought the package and immediately got a notification that my credit/debit card was charged $114. I looked at my email receipt and sure enough, I was charged $114, but there was no break down of the charges to explain why.

I tried calling the phone number at the bottom and it wasn’t a working number. The message said to go to the website or email. I emailed the email address on the receipt and got a delivery failure almost immediately. So I called my bank, disputed the charges and canceled my bank card, because on another email I received, it said that they would be charging me $9.95 per month for the "club" and the one on one counseling that Vince originally said was included in the $57 one time fee.

DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT. This company could care less about people if this is how they do business. Next step is to file complaints with the FTC and BBB for fraud.

Tonya G, that’s a lie. There’s absolutely nothing in the $57 program. After watching the video, I went ahead and paid $57. All I got is a password for registration. All those packages he promised in the video were all a lie. There’s nothing there. When you login into your account you still have to pay to have access to those programs. Normally I read reviews before paying for anything online, but for some reason, I just went ahead and subscribed without a second thought. Please, please nobody should choose that amount of money. It’s a scam, you’ll not get anything after paying that money.

I too have been conned by this company and paid for the "personalised" menu plan. Unfortunately, after signing up, I became unwell and wasn’t able to reply until four weeks later. In the initial questionnaire, I said I was Vegetarian, so they put FISH in my menu plan and made the biggest focus on taking their "Burn" supplement - which, of course, would mean purchasing something else from them! I’d already spent US$114 (AU$160+), so I expected a lot more than what I got and one where I could buy normal food from a grocery store or supermarket.

When I raised this, and the reason for my late reply, the response was rude, condescending and patronizing, and displayed absolutely zero compassion or understanding as to why I couldn’t reply within the four weeks. The trainer said she’ll do me up a "simple" menu plan but "only once" - even though they screwed up and I paid a lot of money for it. I bet if everyone who paid for this customized menu plan compared the menus, they’d be almost identical (depending on if you’re g/f, vegan, vegetarian, etc.).

I’ve asked for a detailed invoice as to exactly what I paid for and so far they have ignored my requests.

I also canceled V Shred University and days after they took another payment (I wanted to cancel early so they wouldn’t take a payment out next month), but instead of keeping access for another month, they removed my access AND kept my payment ...and keep ignoring my request for a refund.

I also asked why NONE of the [copious amount of] emails they send ever mention my body type. The ONLY reason I was sucked in, was because they were offering something unique and targeted 100% to my body type.

This company takes advantage of vulnerable people, and then try and continue to suck more money out of you on supplements and other membership fees. Almost all emails and videos all lead to advertisements to try and get you to buy more stuff from them!

I usually research companies like this and rarely do I sign up, but was sucked in at a moment of vulnerability, and I absolutely regret it and don’t recommend them at all. It’s extremely clear to me that they just want your money, they’re not interested in helping you!

Do your own research on your body type: Endomorph, Ectomorph or Mesomorph...it won’t cost you a cent!

If not resolved, I will be lodging formal complaints with external agencies.

I paid for the recipe guide thinking it is $14, but they gave me another order that I did not want that brought the price up to $71, which that item made me have to buy another item in the store because the extra item was to sign up for another program in the store. And there are only 33 recipes, so how long is that going to last me? And most of the things on there I don’t like.

I join the group under the impression I would be charged $57 with a 30-day money back refund. I joined on March the 3rd, I was charged the $57, and when I see the final bill charged, they talked on another $67 I knew nothing about, and when I checked it out, everything $200 and up. I canceled the 7th and was charged $9 just to cancel (by true bill) and today is the 14th and still haven't seen my refund. This is a TOTAL RIPOFF, save your money! DON'T JOIN!

I paid $57 and then saw what I really wanted cost an additional $67. I purchased the meal plan and saw it was all ridiculous, not what the video implies. Within minutes I was attempting to get a refund, but after going in circles with them, they refused. Don’t waste your money!
