Description

My friend found a website about a weight loss supplement that claimed customers who took the supplements would lose a significant amount of weight within a number of weeks, with no evidence based reports. Website claims to be featured on Oprah’s talk show (it never was). He expressed interest on the website mounjaboost.com & sugar boost.com , spent $460 on sugar pills & tincture supplements and at that point some guy reached out, trying to convince him to get the “1 on 1 support” for an extra $160.00, but informed the guy on the phone that he didn’t need a cheerleader to encourage him when taking these pills and tincture supplements. At that point, the guy selling mounjaboost did not like his answer and hung up on him. It took about a week or two before he received a shipment from mounjaboost. When we looked up where the product was shipped from, it came from a drop-ship warehouse in aurora Colorado that ships off thousands of various brands of legit (and illegitimate supplements); not sure if this warehouse is even aware of mounjaboost scams. The actual address this company claims to be based in is Delaware. Apparently, Delaware Spoofing is quite popular where businesses will claim to be in Delaware when they could be based elsewhere to hide their identity or location. Their phone number also claims to be in Delaware. When I informed my friend that he was scammed, I walked him through the steps of what he had to do to protect his identity, mark his bank purchase as “fraudulent” and report it to the state attorney, etc. When he attempted to reach customer service at mounjaboost, the phone automatically disconnected the first three attempts. The fourth call, a woman answered (maybe in Philippines?) under the name: “Kate Aragoa” in the financial department. He provided my friend with the “customer service” number: 302-200-3487 (option 4). When dialed, there was no option to select “4”. Instead, some Indian man answered like he just woke up, grouchy and confused. When this man was asked by my friend who the right person was to speak with, the Indian man replied “same as your mother” and hung up. He attempted to call again, left a voicemail, requesting a call back (and hasn’t heard back). Unclear why, it was clearly a POS scammer. He even attempted to email: [email protected] to request a refund since the website claims “60-day money back guaranteed” and if he didn’t hear back, he’d proceed with other actions to get his money back. Since then, today, October 27, 2025, they attempted to charge him $29, and attempted to deposit $19.00 into his account (likely another scam tactic) but has locked his card and contacted his bank to flag any potential charges. The wording on this website contains spelling errors, absurd verbiage like “your husband will think you’re more attractive” (once you lose the weight) and making false claims that Harvard scientists praise this weight loss method as a fast and easy weight loss solution. Do not fall for this scam. Do not give them any personal information. Spread the word and be vigilant. If you call and mention anything along the lines of “return item” or “request refund” you’ll be met with rude scammers or being hung up on and blocked from contacting them. The verbiage on the site is too good to be true but it’s clear that those who are easy to trick would be so gullible to fall for this scam. I believe this primarily targets women who are insecure or self conscious but in this case, it affected my friend who is now facing highly serious identity theft risks.
