SCAMMED by NatureGirlHerbs.com & Earth Herbs
Earth Herbs, NatureGirlHerbs.com, Ally is unethical. I don't know if the product works or doesn't work but the sale tactics are shameful. She indicate drops at the event but when you read the bottle it's dropper full so a 4 oz bottle will only last days. They do not disclose the auto-ship at the time of purchase well sort of, it's on piece of paper shoved in the bag. She over bills the credit card, I had 2 charges with-in 10 days (Pris Hawk is how it bills on your credit card). Earth Herbs, NatureGirlHerbs.com,EarthHerbPlants@***.com, MountainTd@***.com, Ally

Don't buy from Nature Girl Herbs
I got scamed ,thinking I was buying a one time purchase. I got nothing stating that I would be auto shipped their silly product. But no, they had to charge my card four times in less than a month's time . A total of about 600 dollars. I had to cancel the card. They kept charging to my card and didn't even send the product. I don't want their stuff anyway. Nature Girl Herbs has bad business practices. Also there is no way of contacting them in site other than e-mail. They don't respond to that either. Bad company Shame, shame

Attorney General Announces Consumers To Receive $88,000 In Settlement Of Sunrise Herbal Lawsuit
May 12, 2010
Attorney General Richard Blumenthal today announced that Sunrise Herbal Remedies, Inc. of Bethel and its owner Valerie Hawk-Hoffman will make full refunds to consumers -- a total of $88,000 -- settling a state lawsuit alleging unwanted deliveries and abusive collection practices.
Blumenthal sued the company and Hawk-Hoffman in 2007 on behalf of Department of Consumer Protection (DCP) Commissioner Jerry Farrell, Jr. More than 370 consumers have filed complaints about Sunrise Herbal -- also known as Sage Advice, Inc. and Herbs and Teas -- with Blumenthal’s office and DCP.
Hawk-Hoffman and her company agreed to a settlement ensuring full restitution to all consumers who complained to DCP and Blumenthal’s office. She and her company denied any wrongdoing in the settlement.
“This settlement guarantees full restitution -- 100 cents on the dollar -- for as many as 400 consumers who allege Ms. Hawk-Hoffman and her company sent and billed them for products they never ordered,” Blumenthal said. “Some consumers who placed a single order alleged they instead received monthly shipments. Others complained of signing up for once monthly deliveries only to be sent products two or three times a month. Still others complained of difficulties in canceling orders, as well as allegedly abusive collection practices for moneys they said they did not owe.
“This agreement settles serious charges and assures consumers get back all alleged overcharges and payments for disputed orders,” Blumenthal said.
Sunrise Herbal and Hawk-Hoffman sold herbal products at seminars, over the phone and on the Internet, saying the items provided a wide range of benefits, including increased energy, stress relief and an improved love life. The herbal packages cost $40 to $129 each. A majority of consumers told Blumenthal’s office and DCP they believed they were buying one order, only to be signed up for regular shipments. The average consumer estimated their loss at about $200.

Look up every company on earth online and there are always nasty people out there, sad but true..
For the sad hater who wrote this--you need to know the facts, first of all she won the lawsuit and was proven right. Not many companies out there can say they only had one issue re their policies in this litigant happy society I can tell you! Secondly, the BBB gives them an A rating and the complaint dept sided with THEM because the client who wrote this clearly knew the policies as she admitted so when she was caught in her own lies saying she didn't know the policies but the records proved she was told them very very clearly as did her invoice-she looked like a real fool when she admitted she was just upset because she cancelled late and conceded she wasn't telling the truth and just wanted her money back as her husband was upset about her spending habits?! She even changed her original order noting the verbiage Auto Ship!...Same with her friend who also wrote this nonsense and her bank also immediately sided with us and stated she has had literally over 2 dozen issues with companies...wish we had known that before taking her on as a customer. Oh well, in life there will always be sad toxic people out there but for the rest of us classy people lets make the world a better place, stop bad mouthing each other and spread love, joy and kindness out into the world, it will serve you a LOT better.
Ps be warned the gal who wrote this nonsense WAS sued and we won $50,000-these type of lies and defamation will NOT be tolerated, not now not ever by us
By the way, if you knew anything about the company owner you would know as well she has been on the Today Show, Martha Stewart Living, ABC, HSN and over 100 other media outlets as well as tirelessly worked to save abused animals and even started a foundation called a Life in Chains is No Life for Man's Best Friend. In addition, she educated children in over 6 schools on teaching kids to start their own business (even has a son who was on tv for his own business he began at age 9!) and she volunteered for over 6 years at her area senior homes as a companion for those who didn't have visitors.
She worked on the Save the Seals program as well and was even nominated as the Entrepreneur of the Year...I doubt the hateful woman who wrote this garbage can claim even 1 percent of such accolades in her life...she is clearly a sad, bitter person. I guess more to be pitied than scorned.

Wow - I was so hoping Valerie was starting a new life. This lady's name/s are Valerie Hawk Hoffman or Valerie Holland Furey.
She's recently remarried & lives/d in St. Augustine, but she first started her scams in Conneticut where her business, Sunrise Herbal Farms was sued by the Conn. Attorney General after 400 complaints to the BBB. (Just google her name and Conn.
lawsuit and you should have pleanty to go on.) She and her husband quickly moved to Maine and then Florida. She always writes profusely on complaint blogs using numerous names defending herself and hollowly threatening to sue those who complain. Contact your Florida BBB and Attorney General.
Maybe they can finally shut her down. She must be stopped from continuing taking money from innocent people.
Has anyone actually gotten their money back from these people?? I tried to get my bank to get it back and they could not.
I am trying to get Ken Amaro from First Coast News to help.
I hope he can stop them. I also went to the Better Business Bureau but they do really do anything but give them a bad review.
The person who runs this company was sued for scamming consumers in Connecticut. Her name is currently Valerie Furey (newly married).
When she sued by the Attorney General's office in CT. for her auto ship policies and billing in CT.
her name was Valerie Hoffman. Do a search on Ripoff Reports to see the complaints again this woman.
