Barton Publishing
Reviews and Complaints

I went to their website to purchase an educational "kit". i gave them my credit card number. The "kit" turned out to be a website, and it would cost double to actually receive the kit shown on the screen. $20.54, so no big deal - i thought. Five (5) days later, numerous fraudulent credit card charges started appearing on my credit card - like from Vons, Chevron and a Cigar Place. it was the Cigar Place called OC Cigars out of Laguna Niguel, California, that caught my eye. 5 charges altogether. Barton Publishing was the ONLY company to have my credit card information, and my card is still in my possession.

I attempted to order their basic product for diabetes information for a fee of around $21.00. Their order system made me review optional add-on services for which I accepted one subscription that added $59.00. I ended up being billed for the $59.00 twice plus other products I did not ask for and was billed a total of $196.21. I have e-mailed their product support to ask them to correct the invoice 2 times and I have left 4 voice mails on their telephone order & support line and have receive no response. I want the money credited back to my bank account. I am unable to attach my e-mail invoice as I cannot convert to your accepted file formats.

Several months ago a fam. member suggested that I contact Barton Publishing for information on natural methods for controlling diabetes. I e-mailed Barton Publishing and ordered ONE item (the diabetes booklet). I DID NOT ask for, request any further information about or sign up for anything else from them or anyone else - including any 'Free Trials' of anything. However, shortly after ordering ONLY the diabetes newsletter, I discovered several 'automatic' charges to my American Express credit card from companies/businesses I'd never even heard of - All were traced back to Barton Publishing. I subsequently went through pure h*ll trying to get these charges - and any further charges - stopped. It was all to no avail; the charges continued until I contacted Amer. Express and they took care of the prob. for me. To this day I've had a few similar experiences with other disreputable, unethical companies and can't for the life of me believe that these people can get away with what they're doing and call it legal. I have to call it what it is, and that is, 'unauthorized use of a credit card' I've only had a computer for a few months, so I'm new to internet shopping; but what I'm seeing is downright shocking and in my mind it doesn't have to be that way. So...I will do whatever I can to stop these shady, rip-off artists who give the honest, reputable businesses/companies a bad name.

Hey, This company was publishing a book for diabetes reversal. But after I paid 39.97$ online, I noticed it did not ask for secure code authentication. Thereafter when I tried to download the e book it asked for upgrading the order for an additional 39 $. When I declined the offer, it still took me to the payment gateway and gave me no option of downloading the e book. These guys are defrauding people by luring them that they can reverse diabetes. I wish we could do something to stop these thieves.
Whats even worse is that I receive a confirmation mail from click bank saying they are confirming my transaction. It even had a link which it said I could click on to download my book in case I couldn't earlier. Again, same upgrade story repeats when I click on it.
Whoever you are who is committing this fraud, I have debts and I have diabetes. Still I paid because I believed. Your need must be so bad that you have no other way but to rob me.

Hi all

I would be very interested to know how common being ripped off is by Barton, whether that be by credit card "errors" or by reports that are next to useless, or are just common sense advice your doctor would give you - in other words, they are not the miracle's they claim to be. I would also be interested to know who, if anyone, has benefited from their reports and advice?

If it seems these are all just a scam, then why don't all of us who have received their reports and been ripped off by them in whatever way, make the reports available, online, for free download. That way we can remove the demand for their product, or at least having to pay for it, and remove their revenue stream, and at the same time make the "reports" available for all to see, so that they can see they are not worth the money.

Then, anyone who finds that the reports work, is free to go and pay Barton for them!

Does anyone think this is a great idea?

A CHARGE OF $ 4.95 HAS BEEN CHARGED TO MY CREDIT CARD MONTHY SINCE SEPT. 2009 ? THIS IS AN UNAUTHORIZED CHARGE TO MY ACCOUNT. I WOULD LIKE THIS CHARGE TO STOP NOW ! PLEASE CONTACT ME AT [protected]@AOL.COM AND LET ME KNOW THAT THIS PROBLEM IS RESOLVED OR WHAT ELSE I NEED TO DO TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. THANK YOU BEN LANG

Barton Publishing & Home Cures That Work are SCAMS! they got me too. I ordered what I thought was a single report for $19.95. They billed me $40.00 and then started billing my credit card $9.97 per month. I have called them to cancel three times now but they keep charging my card. I will now report to law enforcement. STAY AWAY FROM THESE CROOKS! Only wish I had seen this site before placing my order with them.

Last week I made a purchase from Barton Publishing, and something that had never happened to me occured: my bank took the trouble to contact me to inform me that this company seemed to be trying to steal my money! I don't know what raised the red flag: either this company is already blacklisted or something or else the fact they tried to take multiple payments for just one transaction seemed suspicious!

This made me have a look at what there is about Barton Publishing on the internet, and I found long lists of horrifying complaints! I wish I had done this research beforehand.

One big question looms over this company: IF THEY CAN'T BE TRUSTED FOR ONE SECOND WITH ONE'S CREDIT CARD DETAILS, HOW CAN THEY BE TRUSTED WITH THE "EXCEPTIONAL" HEALTH INFORMATION THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE SELLING, AND MORESO, THEIR HEALTH SUPPLEMENTS, VITAMINS, ETC. I would chew the legs of my desk before swallowing any of their pills!

Btw, the "free" publications that they offer as an incentive to their esteemed paying clientele consist of an excellent Health eBook called "Lessons from the Miracle Doctors" by Jon Barron, which I then found out is in any case downloadable for free from Jon Barron's website ( http://www.jonbarron.org/book/ ). I wonder if Jon Barron is aware that he is being associated with these credit card cowboys!

The other eBook "10 Deadly Health Myths" discusses the very real maladies of nowadays (so far so good), then leads nice-n'easy to links to Barton's supplement factory store aimed as solving every health issue in the world. So the "free" gift is basically a well-thought advert to market more of their own products.

I am a firm believer in the way they profess we should change our perspective on health issues, but being what seems to be a fraudelent company interested in ripping off the people who seek their services puts everything else they do under a heavy shadow of doubt.

I wonder if someone from Barton Publishing could answer all the allegations levelled against them in ComplaintsBoard.com and elsewhere on the web and try to explain the situation (if there is indeed an explanation). Anything short of that would make it clear that they are a fraudelent scam. And Credit Card companies / the authorities should then have a look at these funny guys...

Ordered a product, received it and everything seemed ok. Received email two months later saying my next order was being processed, called to say I didnt order anything. Perhaps I did overlook some "fine print" but got the feeling they were less than ethical. They did cancel that order ok. THEN, a month or so later, credit card company called saying they suspected fraudualent charges and yes there were enough to have to cancel my card. Recieved a product from "Colon Cleanse" in Hollywood Florida, and from ACAI something in Utah. They said they received my name, address, phone and credit card for an order, but, email address was wrong and was from someone else. All seems to tie back to the Barton Publishing order.

I ordered the High Blood Pressure Remedy Report for a one off payment of $19.95 but, a monthly subscription was taken from my bank account even though I did not order it. The order process was complicated by what appeared to be the same screen coming up time after time when I clicked the continue button. A few days after the $19.95 payment another payment was taken this time for $9.97. I have now cancelled my debit card and written to Barton Publishing for a refund of both payments. The HBPR report was rubbish anyway. We'll now see if their 365 day guarantee is worth anything!

Sent for "Reflux Remedy Report" - tried most of the natural remedies to no avail and had to eventually get prescription drug.
Have tried to reach above company as (they wish to hear results) and unable to reach them.
Beginning to think I have been "scammed,

A few hours ago I was referred to this site in search of help for lowering blood pressure. It sounded convincing so I took the bait and gave them the order. As soon as I received confirmation I knew that that was a problem. It was all nothing but confusion. I immediately notified the credit card company and found that they had already contacted them.I will dispute these charges on the basis of misrepresentation. I also notified Buy Safe which represented their logo as a safe buy. I hope that you can stop this fraud. Shirley P

Yes this company is most definitely ready and willing to rip off anyone AND send your credit card information along to their good friends at WellnessWatchersMD. You can say NO all you want to their "free" trials, but it doesn't matter. You better watch out, because they will add "free" trials and once that happens your credit card will be charged on a monthly basis and you will more than likely have hell trying to get a refund. I'm sure their customer service department cannot keep up with all the complaints and refund requests. I kept getting a response from a "Linda" who had no interest in helping me. I guess her job is to pretend she cannot locate any information on you or your order.
After doing a lot of digging I found out their customer service is outsourced through workaholics4hire.com which in turn does not have the best reputation.

I ordered a booklet for scabies prevention for my granddaughter. It was suppose to consist of natural ingredients to prevent another outbreak. First they charged me twice on my debit card and I never received the the first book, then they told me Ihad to pay for some diet pills for valued at thirty-nine dollars once a month.When I tried to back out of the sale they warned me that I would be charged twice and I was. Please help me get my money back and cancel those pills.Thank You, Brenda Hubbard

I purchased an online publication once and did not enter into any further offers. Now I find I have been charged $29.95 without any notice. Barton sends me newletters but I did not ask for this.

On 27 Oct. 2008 a Report was ordered ex Barton Publishing and cost of $19.95US made to our Credit Card. Then from 13 November monthly withdrawals of $29.95US - to a total of $119.80 US - have been made in the name of WELWATCHMD, which is a Barton Associate. There is absolutely no authority held by Barton Publishing/WelwatchMD to make these withdrawals and we have never subscribed to any of their Magazines or Publications since 27 October. It is disgraceful that a supposedly reputable business can allow these instances to happen as Google search confirms that ours is certainly not an isolated instance. I have placed the four transactions into Dispute with our Bank and made a formal request to Bartons for a full refund of $119.80, plus their confirmation that our Credit Card details have been deleted from their records.

I "bought" the Kidney Stone Remedy (which may or may not have worked). They passed my CC information over the Well- something MD. They started charging my CC 29.95 per month for nothing. They never sent me any info or anything.

I called my credit card co. and they let me dispute the last 2 (out of 4) charges.

THEY ARE A RIPOFF. TREAT THEM WITH CAUTION!

YOU'VE BEEN WARNED.

Made an online purchase through Barton Publishing and downloaded their acid reflux free program. As I signed up for their report for $19.95, you are directed to other downloadable programs in which you have a choice to 'accept' or say 'no thanks' to. I answered 'no thanks' to all the offers that were displayed. I was charged an additional $19.95 for Wellness Watchers MD in which I specifically said 'no thanks' to. Needless to say, I haven't received a single response from Barton Publishing or Wellness Watchers MD to dispute my charge. I cannot reach them by phone either. Do not order anything through these companies or you will be charged fee's for things you did not order. I did receive the acid free reflux program but am unable to cancel it because I cannot reach anyone to get my 100% 1 year money back guarantee. What a rip off and a scam to order something online and get charged for something else you didn't order. I will never order another downloadable program again.

I purchase a paper on Gout which was emailed to me. The bill stated clearly that the cost would be $20.90. My credit card was charged $39.90
I also received two credit card charges from Wellwatch MD of 30 dollars. I never ordered anything from them but they seem to be affiliated with Barton.

I recently purchased an online GERD report from Barton Publishing for $19.95 which was provided without any problems. However, Barton Publishing passed on my credit card details to Well Watchers MD who have been debiting my credit card for $29.95 per month for something that I did not authorise nor want. Barton Publishing have advised that I "agreed" to the subcription to Well Watchers MD by not opting out after a supposed 14 days free trial of whatever it is they provide. This apparently is buried in the wording of the Barton Publishing invoice for the original GERD report.

I have attempted to cancel the unauthorised subscription to Well Watchers MD but as I don't have a user name nor password I am finding this very difficult and I have had to go to the trouble of contacting my financial institution to have my credit card cancelled and a new one issued, with all of the attendant hassles this entails.

Anyone considering doing business with Barton Publishing should be aware of their unethical business practices and should be very wary of providing them with their credit card details.
