Weight loss products are big business, because so many people want a magic formula that will allow them to lose weight without exercising or changing their diets. These emails or websites all promise to deliver that magic formula, be it in the form of a pill, cream, patch or other product. They usually claim that you’ll lose weight rapidly and permanently while sitting idle and eating whatever you want.
Products such as these are generally nothing but gimmicks. None of the products that are available through email will cause weight loss simply by wearing them or applying them to your skin.
Health professionals agree that exercise and a low calorie diet is the best way to induce permanent weight loss. When it comes to weight loss, there are no short cuts. Before trying any weight loss products, it is wise to consult a doctor.
Have just had a thoroughly frustrating month of trying to get my money back from KEYTONE SLIM XT & PRIMACLEANSE!! After initially ordering the products and being charged the Trial amount totalling about £11, I cancelled the order immediately as it only informs you on the payment page that they will continue taking Monthly payments of over £90.00 out of your account after a month!
I cancelled the product, they sent it anyway, I paid over £7 to send it back unopened and after approx. 6 phone calls they refunded the trial amounts but kept £92.78. I had to fight to speak to a Floor Supervisor, who said I would get a refund on return of the product, but then said there was a re-stocking fee of £7 to take out. Still no refund. These people shouldn’t be allowed to trade. I want to report them and stop people being taken in by them. Does anyone know who I can contact? They are based in Milton Keynes, but their customer service no is in London.
I have just discovered that I have been defrauded by Slimwise Ketone and Slimwise Cleanse, which is the rasberry diet , having responded to an offer of a free trial. Be Warned. Nowhere in their advertising do they say they will continue to supply the pills or take money from your Bank. Their address is Postbus 13, 6670AA ZETTEN, Netherlands , although the box contains a returns address of 13ten Unit 1, Langham Park, Berristow Lane, South Normanton DE55 2JL.
I could not take the tablets because they upset my stomach terribly, but because it was a “free trial” I didn’t think I needed to take any action. Yesterday I got a second box of these tablets and I tried to contact the company, without success of course. However today I find out from my bank that they have taken two sums of money on 27th December and 1st January from my credit account card number totalling 308.00 pounds. I contacted my Bank this morning and they are going to block any further sums being taken and try to recover my money. I have reread their emails confirming the free trial and nowhere is it mentioned that they will continue to send you these pills and charge you outrageous amounts for them. I certainly did not give them permission to access my credit card at will. The matter is in the hands of my Bank now, but I can’t really afford to throw 308.00 pounds away. This must be a very good learning curve for everyone, don’t take any heed of “Free Trial” offers on line.
Would you mind to cancel and not publish my previous comment regarding Slimwise Ketone products as my Bank has the matter in hand and I don’t want to cause myself any more problems with this Company than I already have .
Many thanks
Further to my previous two comments, I would like you to know that my Bank has reimbursed me in full for the money taken from my card by Slimwise. They have taken this matter over and will obtain a refund from that Company. Therefore there is no necessity to publish my comments. Thank you in advance for your co-operation.
I complained twice to my bank. The first time, the people had not yet taken out money, so I asked the bank (Natwest) to stop the payment but they told me it was legal and they could not stop it, so they went ahead and paid the scammers. The next time I contacted them to refund my money, they told me the time had passed. So be careful people with Natwest
I have cancelled order , no contact from them , they have taken another amount out of my bank , can I get my bank to help retrieve my money?
Avoid at all costs logicaldietaid.com and Aidslimming.com. Scammed out of £160 for two ‘trial’ bottles of slimming supplements. Phone numbers do not work and emails ignored. Have contacted many organisations including TV consumer programmes etc and reported them to the police! My credit card co have stopped any future payments and refunded half the money as a good will gesture. Pure scam… expensive lesson learned.
I filled out a consumer questionnaire in October and received a bottle of weight loss pills free, l only had to pay the postage £4·95· To my disgust I received another bottle of the same product last week Perfect Garcina and have been charged £85 for them. I have emailed the company on several occasions and informed them that I want a full refund as I neither ordered or gave them permission to debt my PayPal account. However they are refusing and have offered to refund half £42·50 as a good will gesture. I have told them this is a fraudulent act on their behalf and now they are no longer communicating with me via email. What can I do?
