Description

Was on Facebook watching Oprah sell this “pink salt trick” weight loss miracle solution you can make at home with 4 ingredients and after long spiel, I’m talked into buying 6 bottles of Lipomax at a bargain because Oprah will pay for three bottles herself so I will only pay 295 for 3 bottles. Then within minutes a Lipomax “coach” named Tim calls me and tells me I need to buy some additional supplements at a bargain price of over $400 and when I gasped at that, he said “How about $206?” Which was supposedly a senior citizen discount since I’m on Social Security. So then 3 more “coaches” called me, John, Lexi and Braydon all trying the same add-on but one was honest and said Tim was incorrect and I don’t need to purchase anything else but I was already charged on my Discover card by then. So I asked for a fraud report phone number which they gave me and I reported it to the number and they said they would send in a credit request for the $206 which has not resulted in any refund. I also reported it immediately to Discover as a fraud and they said I have to wait 10 days before they can do anything to see if my credit appears from Lipomax, which it hasn’t and I called the fraud number from Lipomax back and they said they would again send my additional request up higher and did not have an address I could write to and complain. I’m going to call Discover again and request a full return because the Lipomax is a disgusting liquid, not capsules, that I cannot stomach and gives me a headache. On top of this, I started receiving emails from Lexi, another “coach” saying my profile shows I need more supplements at an additional cost after some “medical” person saw my profile and told Lexi that I needed to have an emergency phone appointment set up which I did and Braydon called, not Lexi, who had been writing me emails regularly. Braydon said Lexi was too busy probably and he wanted to charge me $3000 per year for supposedly counseling me along on my weight loss journey and when I said absolutely not, his tone turned cold and uncaring and he gave me the same fraud number I called before to report the scam and I called them again and actually took my second report and still had my original note regarding Tim forcing me to buy supplements so Braydon at least gave me a legitimate phone contact. But I also complained about all the different “coaches” calling me and emailing me and the fraud lady said”Do you want the calls and emails to stop?” And I said absolutely because this whole thing is a scam. I just want my money back because the drops taste disgusting and I don’t know what’s in them but they’re giving me headaches and that’s another thing. Each “coach” gave me different directions. Tim said put under tongue. John said no, you mix a stopper full with coffee, juice or water once in the morning which is still disgusting. Then Braydon said to use twice a day so no one really knows what’s going on. It seems the “coaches” were fighting over me to get their counseling fees which the AI Oprah never mentions after her lengthy Facebook spiel which has been repeated by several other celebrities word for word, even by Trump one time. Please help me get my money back and stop this scam on elderly ladies who just want to lose weight, not their Social Security. I’m 74 years young. Thank you.
