Description

I was on Facebook when an Oprah Winfrey advertisement popped up showing there is a natural way to lose weight using pink salt, green tea extract, etc. There were several doctors Oprah was in the podcast discussion, one introduced as Director of Yale Obesity Clinic, one connected with Stanford, i.e. Dr. Ania, Dr. Goldman, etc. discussing about GLP and GLP1, mounjaro, ozempic and many others. Towards the end of the podcast Oprah was saying she had made some personal investments on this product to make it affordable to all and to click the link on the podcast where one could place the order advising the best option was to purchase the 6 bottles to avail 1 free bottle. Each bottle would cost $49 for a total of $294..00. Towards the end of the link, the system did not accept my credit card. I then received two phone calls (323-529-8433) advising me they are taking the order and this should be free of shipping and no sales tax. I gave them again my credit card number but when I received the order confirmation (from [email protected]) the total is now $315.00. I also received an e-mail from Dr. Emma Lewis thanking me for the order among others and if I am not satisfied with the product I could get in touch with "[email protected]" to have it returned. The shipment arrived last 8/2/95 shipped via USPS ground. It was in a small box with 7 bottles, no Packing Slip, no clear instruction on how to use the product and no address where it came from. I became suspicious about taking the product and discussed the LipoMax with my doctor. I was advised not to take it due to complications it might trigger on my medical condition. Last 8/6/25 I sent an e-mail to Dr. Emma Lewis and the "[email protected]" informing them I need to return the product, but did not receive any response up to now.
