I had never heard of this company nor this product before. I picked up my mail the other day and there was a bottle (30 Ct. capsules) of a weight loss product in an envelope. I had no memory of ever ordering it and was shocked just now when I spoke to the bank and found they have taken three different amounts from my checking account in the past three weeks with no knowledge or authorization from me.

The products and amounts were as follows: Extreme Burn for $79.95; Lean Rx for $69.95 and a second Lean Rx for $79.95. I don't know yet if they took shipping as well.

My bank has stopped the Visa Debit Card number and issued another one and I spoke to the fraud unit at the bank. I am extremely upset by this as I have no idea how they got my account number to begin with. I'm not a senior citizen but I am disabled and I exist on only Social Security each month. Please check your bank statements carefully! I intend to notify the Post Office as well.

EDitor's Suggestions on how to get your money back!

HERE IS WHAT RIP-OFF REPORT SUGGESTS YOU DO:

Go to your bank within 60 days of the charge, or as soon as you know about the charge, don't delay, and tell them that there has been fraudulent activity within your account. Explain that you wish to file a dispute, and demand that they assist you in accordance with Federal Regulation E.

According to the majority of victims interviewed by Rip-off Report, those who immediately called their banks to dispute the charges did not get very far. Many victims got the following responses from their banks: we could not do anything for you or you waited too long; it has been more than 60 days.

If the bank is says that you have waited too long, explain to them how you called their 800 number as soon as the charges were found, and were told by the bank that nothing could be done. Remind the bank that they failed to assist you properly at the 800 #, and instead, provided you with an inadequate explanation of your right to dispute. Tell the bank that it's their fault time has expired, and since they gave you the wrong info to begin with, they will just have to deal with it, take the loss and reverse the charges.

Tell them the truth; this was unauthorized and your account was NOT to be charged! Keep emphasizing how you never authorized anything! Direct them to the hundreds of victims reports that were filed on Rip-off Report.com. And if you're at the bank, walk them over to their computer and make them go to this site! If you are on the phone with them, tell them you will wait while they access this site! Either way, be persistent!

DO NOT TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER!

Let them know nicely, that you were advised to Report them (the Bank) and this situation to the Banking Commission in your state. Since each state has a different name for the agency/controller over banks, find that name before you call or get to the bank so you can throw it in their face. The more knowledgeable you appear to be, the further you will get.

And just continue to demand the Federal Regulation E form! The bank CAN, MUST and WILL reverse the charge! But, you must be persistent; ask to speak to the supervisor or the area manager for all the branches in the state.

Let the bank personnel know you are meeting with the media later in the day, that you would much rather they do the right thing (as most other banks have) by looking at the complaints and immediately reversing the charge(s) to your account; no matter how long ago it was. Be sure to call the Media if necessary so you are telling the truth.

If you have to, be loud (but nice) in front of other customers. If you are just calling by phone, the above tactics should still work. The bank can easily fax or mail to you the Federal Regulation E dispute form.

CHARGES TO YOUR CREDIT CARD

If the charge was to your credit card (not debit card, check card, or checking account), contact the credit card company as soon as possible to request a dispute form. Consumers usually have a little longer to dispute fraudulent credit card charges (up to 6 months), but it is better to act right away. In this type of situation, credit card disputes are usually successful since fraudulent companies often won't contest the disputed charge. In rare cases, credit card companies will review disputes, but refuse to reverse the charges. If this occurs, complain to a manager and let them know you will be filing a report here.

Remember Don't let them get away with it! Make sure they make the Rip-off Report .. The more Reports filed on a Company or individual, the more likely it is that the authorities, media and attorneys will want to take action.

And good luck Let us know how you do!

Where things stand now in Oregon

AUTHOR: Carolyn - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Monday, February 26, 2007

Thank you so very much for the advice on reporting this to the FBI. I have filed with my bank and they suggested that I also contact the Post Office since a product was sent by mail to my place.

I have contacted our Post Master and she is going to file a report this week when I take the packaging in for her to record the information from. My bank has already said they will put the money back into my account even though the investigation is ongoing. That was nice but it's been a week now and I haven't seen any of it in my account yet.

I will be calling this week to find where things stand. I also wanted to point out that this fraud took place at almost the exact same time that my bank was issuing me a new Visa debit card. It occurred to me that if it was information being sold by someone who works at the processing office where cards are issued it would make sense that they would have access to not only the card number but the expiration date as well.

To the other people who have written to Rip-Off Report regarding this same product (or any product you didn't order, for that matter) check to see if the fraud took place about the time you were issued a new bank card. I could be wrong but it's a thought.

Respond to this report!

#1 Consumer Suggestion

Please file a report with the authorities.

AUTHOR: R - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Sunday, February 25, 2007

Please report these charges to the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center at ic3.gov. The credit card companies DO NOT as a matter of policy forward fraud reports to the authorities. Thus, it is essential that anyone with unauthorized charges take 5 minutes to a file a report online. The FBI automatically sends all complaints to the relevant local authorities, so make sure to reference all of the cities these companies claim to operate out of. If you received unsolicited product following these charges, make sure to mention it in your report and provide the return address. The process only takes a few minutes and dramatically increases the chances that something will be done about all of this.
