Beware of "Natural Garcinia Cambogia" Weight Loss Pill Scams

Nationwide picked up the request for a reoccurring payment and stopped the payment until they could get authorisation from me. Thanks to them, not only have I avoided the unexpected bill but also had a stop put on the link.

My daughter had 151 pounds taken from her bank account and has not received any pills, and can't get any contact details,they rant answering emails,

This product is a scam, these so called sisters also claim to have invented a miracle face cream which is claimed also an ad scam. I wonder what other products they claim to have invented? Anyone know.

I have been scammed for $500 I said I only wanted the two week trial, then if I was satisfied I would order more....the first pkg arrived and I had been sick so never opened it...then another pkg arrived and my visa bill was charged $520.00..so I am wondering if the stuff I got in the mail is safe to take?

Unable to get through on the phone # listed on the receipt. I cancelled the order before submitting it and they still sent me the product!

Beware you only have 14 days from the date you order to cancel your automatic refill - which is $85 - I did not receive the order for a week and did not even have time for the two week trial period before they charged me full price - they stated that it is on the page where you put in your address and info - I feel this is in fair to say it is a trial and then charge you before the trial period is over.

My card was charged 3.95 and 4.95 on 8/20/18 and still have not received any product.. "free 30 day trial" never wrote my confirmation number down..Do they send anything out?

I have just fallen prey to these scammers taking money our of my bank account without permission....and receiving no good either. Even though I did not want any more. I received a trail which I paid for then more payments started coming out. Total scam. The bank are dealing with it now...the fraud department. They said they had dealt with a lot of other cases.

I was researching the "Miracle" weight loss pill that is all over FB that always mentions Trevor Hildbrand, Stanford University, & Shark Tank. While doing some research many of the searches made me wonder about it's validity, but this article came up that made me super suspicious and was just to easy to pick at:

Trevor Hiltbrand’s, Stanford University Student, Weight ...

https://fashionandotherthings.com/trevor-hiltbrands-stanford...

Trevor Hiltbrand, a Stanford University graduate, recently made headlines when he landed the biggest deal in Shark Tank history. The mother of three had spent years developing an all-natural weight loss pill that has the ability to completely...

First thing was in the first sentence, it says "he" and the next sentence it says "the mother of three", more than likely, "he" is not going to be a "mother of three".

Next, the product that Trevor presented to Shark Tank was a supplement to help improve memory, not weight loss.

Lastly, (there is probably more to pick at, but I had spent all the time I was going to on this) many of the fake ads say how ALL the sharks jumped on his product when actually only one, Lori, offered him any kind of deal and it was not the biggest deal in Shark Tank history.

Obviously, I wish there was a miracle weight lose pill too, or else I wouldn't have been sucked into checking out the validity of this product in hopes that I too could lose a 100lbs in 48hrs (ok, maybe a slight exaggeration). If it sounds to good to be true it probably is.

I noticed ads with the same pictures and words with different product names all claiming to be on Shark Tank or Doctor Oz. Some of the names I have seen are Rapid Tone, Luna Trim, Luxury Garcinia, and Garcinia Cambodia. Clearly a scam with so many newly rebranded names.

My mom saw the show and wanted to try it. I had not read reviews until now that it was a scam. A month later, I was charged $90. I looked over my order, and there was nothing indicating I would be billed later for anything. When I called to cancel any future transactions, they said I wasn't billed for anything new - I was just billed for the product I received. So - advertising of free trial is absolutely false.

I tried to purchase before I new it was a scam, try tried to hit my credit card 4 times. I hope Shart Tank will address this to let people know it is fake, will have my credit card shut down and new on issued. Really awful they are getting away with this

Yes l could not find the episode of dragon den where these pills were supposed to be on so straight away l thought whats going on then when l looked up some information the diet pills all had different names the name kept changing then l came across you who confirmed it was a scam

Do not buy.

stories do conflict and I did not find the story on shark tank. Thank goodness i found out before getting the "sample"

I have been caught by this scam. the tablets made me nauseous after 2 days and I sought to send back the rest. no return address. phone number given a hoax. No re-dress.

I contacted my card company. they refused to pursue the matter and say I have to pay the charge on my statement.£183.65.

The only thing they will do is stop further payments. I understood that credit card companies would back up the customer in the case of fraud but this is not happening.

Why do we have to submit to this kind of fraud? Surely we should be protected. The site these fraudsters used came up on yahoo.

Found the same "ad" for multiple products (at least 4, but there's probably more)...

Rapid Tone and Thermo Burn, both by a would-be Trevor Hiltbrand - advertising both products as having been supported by all members of Shark Tank (to the tune of $2.5mil) and rebranded/rebottled. Both sites even use the exact same language and use the exact same before & after models with the exact same exclamatory statements.

Garcinia Plus and CLA Safflower Oil, both by would-be sisters Anna & Samantha Williams - again, both products having been supported by all members of Shark Tank (only to the tune of $1.3mil, this time) and rebranded/remodeled. The language is no longer identical to the Rapid Tone and Thermo Burn sites and use different before & after models, however, thought the language is slightly different, the same claims stand...

Sold out in 5 days; "It's the original formula, all we've done is change the name and packaging"; First to receive a standing ovation from the audience and all five members of the panel; etc.

What I find to be hysterical, though, is the before & after photos... take a close look. For each of these products being so miraculous that they take off SO much weight in SO little time, look closely at the hair growth in the "after" photos in comparison to the "before" photos. So these products also make hair grow 6-12" in about a month? Wonder why they're not trying to capture THAT audience as well!

:-)

Peace

So upset right now received what they wanted to send me in the mail not what I asked for ,and I have to call back in 14 days to cancel there trail product that I said no to.

Ask to speak to manager never put them on the phone because they were to busy....and every operator was of Indian descent stealing peoples hard earn money charging there credit card for there own usage ....

I am so p*ssed right now and I will be talking to my lawyer 😠😠

It sounded too good to be true and then I saw a different product with same backstory, verbiage, and reviews. Several sites were not accessible. I also notice the perpetuation of bad grammar and word usage.

They have setup pages of fake sites stating the validity of the product but one thing they all had in common was very bad English. I also noticed that all the reviews were current dates.

I finally looked up shark tank products and neither weight loss item was there. Then I see this site which confirmed my fraud suspicions.

Thanks!

saw the advertisement as a pop up on my phone, tried to order but I didn't enter my credit information Thank Goodness. Had nothing but problems with the site made my phone freeze, all kinds of problems.

Sent for the so called free sample of the Bioslim slimming product. Two sets of postage were taken. No slimming product was received .... But a pack of what appears to be a laxative arrived. Repeated requests for the slimming product failed to produce it. After reading advice on the internet l cancelled my bank account to block any further loss.

I had intended to conduct a scientific test but as I am unable to get a sample I assume it would be a failure.

Then finding out that it is sold under various names and that the sisters who claimed to have set up the business were unconnected with Bioslim and their names. Were fake. There are even fake magazines recommending this product!

The best advice I can give is that you should not give anyone access to your credit card or bank account to pay for postage for any "free" sample.

Not only free pills but also gave cream is being used in the same scam system.

What are they going to try to sell next? And what other criminals are going to offer you phony free samples?

Well, being a fan of Shark Tank,Melissa McCarthy and a person always looking for that ‘miracle weight loss aide’ I fell for the FaceBook ad. I can say I did notice a curb in my appetite, but NO weight loss occurred during the past month.

Now for the bad news...I just discovered two debits to my checking account totaling $150! I am livid! DO NOT FALL FOR THIS SCAM LIKE THIS CHUBBY OLD LADY DID!

Jesus,just scammed me for £500..

I have just realised that this is a scam and I am contacting my bank right now.
