Allied Health Group Weight Loss Challenge Scam Ripoff Normal Illinois

Beware of the fliers going around from Allied Health Group advertising the Ultimate Weight Loss Challenge. This program scam is being facilitated by Dr. Jeffrey Dickhut and Dr. Crystal Morse. The advertisement says they are looking for individuals to participate in their Ultimate Weight Loss Challenge and you earn $20 per pound lost. When you call the phone number on the flier to make the appointment, they don't provide you with any additional information. I went. They make you watch a video about people who have lost weight (their marketing tool) - and then they talk to you about your weight history and a little bit about what the program entails. Not until you've been there for an hour or so do they SPRING the news on you that it costs $2600 to join this 3 month program! The $20 per pound is only good up to 30 pounds, so you can recoop $600 of your money. It's a scam. Their defense to this when questioned was that the flier doesn't say the program is FREE! But the flier DOES indicate that they are looking for individuals to "participate" in their program. Completely false advertisement. Don't fall for it. I guess they think that because we are overweight - that we must be stupid too.
