The non-profit we represent came to IonMe, IonMe.com aka Hotan Barough & Jeremy Born to purchase a large quantity of negative Ion silicon bracelets to be sold as a membership booster and as fundraiser for our cause. At first Hotan Barough and Jeremy Born seemed very pleasant and much like individuals that we would want to do business with. However, this is a classic tale of Hotan telling us everything we wanted to hear, "we can do that", "of course we can hit your deadline", etc... etc... until we gave him the $20,000 deposit; that’s when everything changed. Once Hotan Barough and Jeremy Born had our money in their hands, everything went down hill. Hotan then began to nickel and dime us, "That mold is going to cost more", "The packaging is going to cost more", and best of all, "the order is going to take much longer than we had expected". I thought to myself, oh no, why did I give Hotan the deposit in check form? Why didn’t I use our non-profit credit card? What am I going to do, I have no recourse. Panicked, this lead to my doing quite a bit of research on him and his products. The first thing I found out was alarming. Hotan had mentioned that he needed charge what he did per bracelet because his production costs were so high. What a liar Hotan is! I was able to locate literally the same product from potentially the same manufacturers over-seas that offer the bracelets for about $1.50 per unit. The second interesting bit of information that I uncovered was that his negative ion IonMe bracelet was a hoax. Hotan made several claims that his ionme bands were in the process of FDA approval. What drugs is he taking, not only are the IonMe bands snake oil, but also they had never even begun the process for FDA approval. Hotan was full of one big lie after another.

Thats when I realized that Hotan Barough and Ion me had completely ripped us off! I was speechless. I thought to myself, who in their right mind would ever rip off and scam a non-profit organization? The answer is simple, the company IonMe, Hotan Barough and Jeremy Born. I tried contacting IonMe to request a refund and an order cancellation. Their answer was, “we can’t refund your money because the ionme bands are already in production”. This was interesting to me because a week prior I was told that he was not able to hit the original agreed upon deadline and that they were still waiting on design from us to begin production; but the bands are in production??? Come again? Wow, just one more HUGE Hotan Barough lie. And now, almost a year later, Hotan has our 20K and has not even produced a single sample for us. The moral of the story is, don’t do business with IonMe or unethical people like Hotan Barough and Jeremy Born, and don’t buy a product for wellness that has not really been clinically tested, does not work, and just isn’t worth the cheap silicon material its made of.

Beware of IonMe products and their lying scamming owner Hotan Barough and Jeremy Born.

- I would sign off as “an unhappy customer”, however, I never received a single product for the $20,000 we gave them so technically I was never a customer! Rather an uneducated consumer in a world of scam-artist and frauds like Hotan Barough and Jeremy Born.

IonMe LLC IonMeLLC Rips Off Local Non-Profit for 20K

AUTHOR: truth be told - ()

POSTED: Tuesday, September 09, 2014

After further consideration I felt it appropriate to add the following to my IonMe RipOff Report:

IonMe llc, IonMellc, Hotan Barough, Jeremy Born have several professional athletes accepting endosements from IonMe llc and I wanted to make the community aware of who they are and that these athletes are associared with a company that operates with fraudulent and unethical buisness practices. 

This purpose of this rebuttal is to create awareness of the professional athletes connected to IonMe LLc and to bring awareness to their fans. James Stewart (pro supercross), Patrick Peterson (NFL), Lorenz Larkin (UFC), Justin Sellers (MLB), Austin Pettis (NFL), Matt Kalil (NFL), Richard Sherman (NFL), James Irvin (UFC), and Matus Valent (Pro Fitness Athlete).

Hotan Barough, Jeremy Born, and IonMe LLc recently ripped off a local Orange County based non-profit for $20,000, if any of these athletes practice and support honest & integrity in business they should abandon their IonMe LLc endorsements immediatley.
