In August 2025 I ordered LipoMax (for weight loss), Shortly afterwards I had a strok. The product was delivered while I was in the hospital. After I was relesed from the hospital, I had go to several doctors. I showed an opened bottle of LipoMax to each and they cautioned me not to take it because it could possibly interfer with all the medication I was now on. I reported this to LipoMax and asked for a full refund if I returned all the unopened bottles. I never heard from them so I sent a 2nd email. Still no reply so I sent a 3rd, no reply to that one either. I have now looked online and see other people calling it a scam. It sounded legitiment to me at the time so I fell for it. My mistake. I have now reached out to my Discover card and they will investigate it and may be able to get my money back, but it will take a while. Right now I just want to warn others about the company selling LipoMax. Guess I will never know if it was a good prouduct or not since I cannot use it with my heart medications. All I want is a refund!

Counterfeit Product - Lipomax FB Ad

The exact same thing happened to me. I saw Oprah advertising Lipomax on Facebook with a doctor and was told i would receive 6 bottles for $50. When they called to verify, I advised I wanted to cancel. In 7 days I received 6 bottles in the mail and my debi card was charged $313. I have not been able to get any answer at the phone number that called me. I feel like an idiot, because I know better.

Oprah Winfrey claimed incredible results for herself and other celebrities using the 'pink salt trick'. Clicked the link and was taken to site to purchase LipoMax. Felt it was legitimate based on Oprah's claims and guarntees. Ordered. No packing slip, no company information, and no way to contact for return. Took 4 weeks. Should have lost 24 pounds. Actually gained 2 pounds. Filed dispute with credit card company, it is pending. The product was not a legitimate product. The claims by Oprah were lies. A total scam and fraudulent company.

Followed a web video touting the Pink Salt Secret. Approved fraudulent claims by Oprah Winfrey, Adele and other celebrities. The product was something called LipoMax drops. The bottles were filled with sugar water. Other company personnel contact perpetuated the scam.. refunds are almost impossible to obtain. They are continually charging $144 a month for coaching which never legitimately happens. Why the need for coaching for regular daily use of sugar water drops. BE SERIOUSLY AWARE OF THIS SCAM !!

I was looking for more info on the pink salt trick and there was a video link "learn more" button to click on and it showed a video of Oprah Winfrey and a doctor who "invented the formula" for Lipo Max which does not have side effects like GLP-1 injections. It seemed to be legit because it was Oprah who was talking about it. In hindsight the whole thing was more than likely an AI video put together by a scammer. I feel so upset with myself for falling for this! The "support" to request a refund comes back "non-deliverable" with the [email protected].

I saw a ad and then watched a video with Oprah Winfrey talking about the pink salt trick. After watching the video, I was redirected to a site for LipoMax. I then purchased the product for 6-bottles at $294 & 12-bottles for $396 for a total of $690. I haven’t tried to cancel, but the product received has not done as advertised. Once the product was ordered they wanted me to speak with Lexi about coaching with the weight loss for $2,100. I refused and they kept lowering the amount until $300/month, but I refused. The order happened 8/15/2025 and the call to sell coaching was 8/16/2025. I received the product 2-3 weeks later and I have not had any of the advertised results.

My experience was similar to what was reported on Scam ID# 1026454. I too watched an hour long “podcast,” on Facebook conducted by Oprah and Dr Ania Jastboff. I didn't even realize that LipoMax was the product until the end of the podcast, and it was meant to confuse and hook you to buying the product. I regret falling for the scam. I immediately received an email that my order was placed and tried cancelling my order right away. I was informed to contact the product seller to cancel my order, but by the time I recieved a response, I was told I could not cancel because the order was already shipped. I believe there are two companies involved, the shipper (Cartpanda) and the product seller (4unature.com), which was not even mentioned during the purchase process. Someone emailed offering a 50% refund and I accepted, but still have not received any refund. I tried resolving with the vendors, but finally after a month, I have not heard anything else back. I am reaching out to Paypal to see if they can do anything in helping get a refund. I regret I fell for such a scam and found others have complained about the same experience and situation afterwards. Facebook should not allow these types of misleading advertisements and fake celebrity endorsements and ads to deceive people.

I saw an ad with Oprah for a pink salt trick. After listening to the site they sent me to a site for LipoMax. I then purchased the product wi for 6-bottles at $294 & 12-bottles for $396 with tax of 50.89 total $740.89 and tried to cancel. Once the product was sent they wanted me to speak with Lexi a representative that can help with the weight loss. They tried to sell me another fee of $2,100. I then received the product on 9-16-2025. I have tried to email them for support for a refund. They tried to tell me it would cost too much to ship back so they wanted to give me a 60 percent discount to make it go away now...I am going to the post office to try to see how how it costs to return. If this doesn't work I will connect with my credit card for a dispute.

I saw a video advertisement with Oprah for a product that she claims help to lose weight. She had her doctor friend, Dr. Ania tout the claims of Lipomax. The video was almost an hour long and then you were given the opportunity to place an order for a product and you chose how many vials of certain product that you wanted after making my choice and entering my credit card information to pay I was suddenly jumped to a message that said before you leave, watch this one more video which I watched the next video And then the next video and it all sounded like a scam from that point on because in order for the so-called product that I was originally going to order to work, I suddenly needed to take an increased amount amount of it. I also need to add another supplement to it and at that point I knew it was a scam so I did not put my order through, but I also received a warning that I cannot back out of the video or else I may be double charged. I did not know any other way to get out of it so I ended up backing out of the video and closing up the Facebook app. Well sure enough on my credit card I was charged the amount times three so a total of 900 and something dollars I was not out the money because I immediately contacted my credit card company and I was able to get a credit back and have them do a fraud investigation and they reversed all the charges on my credit card so I was fortunate with that, but the point is it’s a scam company having the nerve to use a celebrity name as well as video image. Just want to warn people I was fortunate enough to get my charges reversed, but not everybody is able to do that so place the warning out there it is a scam.

I received a notification on Facebook with an invitation to view Oprah Winfrey's podcast regarding her usage of the Pink Salt Diet and her weight loss, which was not attributed to Ozempic. The podcast shed light on the natural process using GLP, with an appearance by Dr. Anina, who is reportedly the inventor of the product. As the podcast continued, Oprah spoke about her Own Your Health program, and she mentioned that she would pay for three bottles of the product since she was an investor. As time went on, the podcast directed viewers to continue watching if they wanted to receive the special, and up popped the product to purchase at a discount. Little did I know that multiple products and advertisements were unleashed! It wasn't very clear at this point when I received a dropped call from the coach who was supposed to call to explain the product, but I waited for a return call that never came. I tried to inform the company. My phone carrier has notified me that the number is associated with a scammer. I will immediately notify my bank.

It was the usual hour long video with a celebrity in (Oprah Winfrey ) stating that Lipo Max helped her to lose enough weight to go to the Met gala. She stated that this was the product, Lipo Max that produced her significant weight loss. I have tried this product for over a month and have not lost any weight. In fact I have gained weight. I have an app GUARDIO., that is supposed to identify and alert me to scams. It did not do so at in this event and is why I purchased the product. It does not work certainly not for me now I’m stuck with about eight bottles of this useless stuff.

On Sept. 1st 2025 I responded to an ad on Facebook for a weight loss product supposedly endorsed by Oprah Winfrey. I purchased 6 bottles through Cartpanda. For LipoMax. Three of the bottles were free. When I received my credit card bill was double - $294. I repeatedly tried to ask for a refund. They assured me that it was being processed. It didn’t happen. Being scammed is a crime in my book.

I watched a video with Oprah talking about the pink salt trick and the link was too Lipo Max. Lipo Max does not contain pink salt or any of the ingredients that were discussed in the video. I purchased the product based on its link to the video I watched. When I received it, I realized it had nothing to do with what was discussed between Oprah and the doctor in the video. In my attempt to return it, I found out That the guaranteed 60 day return policy was impossible because the email provided did not exist. I have contacted my bank.

I ordered LipoMax through an advertisement on Instagram on my cell phone. I ordered 3 bottles of the weight loss supplement at a total cost of $207.00. I have been receiving emails offering more help with weight loss through different counseling. I contacted my doctor before starting to use the product, and he recommended I do not take it because of other medications I am on. I have sent four email replies to the counselor asking for help with returning the three unopened bottles for a refund. She never has replied to my emails. I have googled the email address to request a refund and have now found out that this was a scam. Oprah Winfrey and others never endorsed LipoMax and the whole thing was generated through AI methods.

I watched a podcast of Oprah and a Dr. Ania at first referencing the pink salt trick but turned into an advertisement for lipomax. I trusted it because it was Oprah! Upon further research after purchasing realized it was just a scam! I am truly disgusted by the whole thing and anyone that would pry on vulnerable and desperate people.

Ordered Lipomax because they had advertised a hassle free return. I decided to return my order and went to the Lipomax official website for instructions. It said I needed to request a return merchandise authorization (RMA) number in order to return it. When I sent the request for the RMA number, I received an undeliverable message stating the website could not be reached or was not accepting emails. This is an unbelievable scam propagated by Oprah Winfrey’s endorsement.
