I too was scammed by Barton publishing, mine happened to involve a booklet for “natural remedies for lowering blood pressure”. I didn’t really know about Joe Barton, until I just happened to investigate kidney stones, and lo and behold there was Joe Barton again this time with a booklet on how to get rid of kidney stones and there’s more, he seems to have a “booklet” on just about every ailment known to man and all for a mere $19.95, for a down loadable copy and $10.00 for a “hard copy” mailed to you, along with a ton of “Free Bonuses” and then the fun begins, I just e-mailed the slime bag and canceled any other items that I was alleged to have ordered.

I was double charged on my credit card for my purchase of a downloadable information sheet on an answer to reflux. I am in australia – i was able to send several e-mails to Barton Publishing and managed to get back credit. Aren’t you all missing the point? Is the information they are providing useful and fixes the problems we all seek? I told them not to send newsletter e-mails and free products too! I had to unsubscribe to websites to stop them….done! Do these products work????? Is it worth the trouble to find answers to our problems?????

Please call me at 1-866-956-2710 so I can take care of this for you right away. My name is Charity, and my hours are 10am-6pm Central Standard Time. Personally, I think that WellnessWatchersMD is a pretty good deal, or I wouldn’t work here. They send out thousands of $25 gift cards and $50 rebate checks every month. They also help hundreds of people with their Ask-the-Doctor service. If you were charged by mistake, I am authorized to give you a refund.

I was scammed also. I just noticed that I had been charged for 3 months$6.25, $6.21
and 5.76 Cdn. for nothing. I originally ordered a report on GERD remedies and carefully made sure I didn’t sign up for the many other things that popped up.

I have been sick for the last few months and didn’t notice that amount. I never signed up for anything other than the report which was paid for in full by credit card.

I contacted my credit card company and they called Barton at the number that appeared on my credit statement. With Visa on the line, Barton said that the free trial offer of a news letter for which I never signed up for or ever received via email or any other way then becomes chargeable after so many days unless you unsubsribe. I never subscribed to anything other than the report. They would not refund my money and so my credit card company is refunding these amounts and my credit card no. has been immediately cancelled. Today is June 18th, 2009 and it is obvious Bartonpublishing.com are still at it in defrauding people in this manner.

I’ve been scammed by Barton Publishing and WellnessWatchers MD as well. I originally ordered a “booklet” from Barton and a month later noticed an unauthorized charge on my Visa of $9.95 from Barton Publishing and $29.95 from WellWatchersMD who I hadn’t even dealt with. I immediately contacted Barton and they said they’d cancel my unauthorized subscription to whatever it was, which they did. However, nothing was done about the WellnessWatchersMD charge and it has now appeared on two more Visa bills. I’ve been away and missed seeing last months but just noticed the newest charge on my latest June invoice. I called the number mentioned above and they guy said that all he could do was refund two of the three fraudulent charges.

I encourage everyone who’s been scammed by these frauds to contact their bank AND credit card to report this matter on both companies. It wouldn’t hurt to print out these complaints and others that are also on the net to show to the bank so we can get their credit card privileges revoked.

I should have know this was an unscrupulous, criminal company by the way they wouldn’t let me simply purchase the one item I did want, but instead kept a long series of confusing pop-ups appearing.

I was dupped by Barton Publishing also. I love how they try to be all helpful by supplying a number & e-mail address on their website that DOES NOT WORK! With the help of my credit card company, I was able to find another number which I was able to speak with someone at Barton. Of course they were not able to help me, I then had to go to another web-site to fill out a refund request form! Both the phone number & web-site for refunds are NOT provided on their web-site or in ANY e-mails that were sent to me!
Here is the info I found for Barton Publishing. Hope it helps you! Please spread the word if it does.

This is absolutely a scam. Try calling the number “Joe” gives in the email above – you will get a recording that says to call the other number, where you will talk to a “third party customer service representative” who will say that you have to do all cancellations, etc. through the barton web site – they can, of course, take an order over the phone. I order a pamphlet, just like the other person, chose NO on any extra option, was not able to confirm my order, then was charged $29.95 over my order, and was signed up for a $9.95 newletter. I sent an email back to “support@bartonpublishing” and the customer service rep said to do to cancel. I got charged again a month later and have called only to get the same run around again. I have canceled my credit card, so hopefully none of their fraudulent charges will go through. I hate that they have my email address, though. I also reported them to the Federal Bureau of Consumer Protection under four different counts of fraud. I recommend anyone else who has been scammed do the same:
