My mother was using the computer and a podcast with Oprah popped up. She watched it. Oprah and a Dr Anis Jasburg gave scientific explanations for why people can't lose weight. They talked about how lipomax was a miracle supplement that Oprah herself uses. They said Oprah would subsidize the supplement so whoever watched until the end would get 6 bottles for half price. I have had difficulty losing weight so she wanted to get it for me. She trusts Oprah and was convinced by the doctor and the scientific explanations. She paid thinking it would cost $150, but her card was charged $303. Immediately, I started getting calls from multiple different numbers, texts and emails. They wanted me to sign up for coaching which they said was worth$1400. They were aggressive and several of the numbers were robo calls. I answered one and the man hung up when I told him I didn't know what my mom had ordered. I called one number back and I got a robot recording to leave a message. I looked up Oprah and lipomax online and saw bbb.org had one scam listed. I saw a CNN article stating Oprah had said she doesn't support weight loss supplements and not to believe these videos of her. I shared with my mother and she called her credit card company. They cancelled her card and referred the payment to fraud, but made no promises she would get the money back.
