Before I start, let me make this clear: I did not order this product via mail or through the internet. Wednesday 2-25-09: received a US Postal Service package containing a bottle: CarallumaExtreme w/green tea enclosed. There was no invoice, no information on how I ordered it. Return Address: Lose Weight Systems; 1155 W. Pioneer Blvd. Ste. 103-211, Mesquite, Nevada, United States. Thursday 2-26-09: Checked my Master Card and found a ‘charge pending’: (02/22/2009 pending CARALLUMMA EXTREME $34.84). I researched the company name & address and found a phone number 800-430-1529. I called the number and asked about the charge; explained that this was not ordered and would be challenged. They immediately said the account would be shut down; taking 7-10 business days for money to be refunded. I also received a Confirmation #. 2-26-09: Shortly thereafter (an hour or so), I received two emails:
Sent: Thursday, February 26, 2009 8:40 AM
Subject: Your Adipose Order Refund Confirmation
Your Order id 344XXX has been refunded.

2-26-09: Called Mastercard: 888-763-5655 Confirmed Charge, $34.84 was pending. They guaranteed we will not be liable for bad charges. I must wait till it is posted, then call back and file a complaint. They could give me no further information until the charge cleared. The Credit Card was canceled immediately. I then did some research on www.adiposerx.com. It forwarded to a web site called. https://secure.subscriptionmarketinginc.com/prolero/adipose/adipose_rx/index.php. Site owned and operated by Turkey Out, Unit 13 Riverside Business Park, St Annes Road, Bristol England, BS4 4ED. Friday 2-27-09: 9 AM: Checked my Master Card via the Web. The pending charges were gone! I could get no further information from Master Card. As far as they were concerned, they could do no more. 2-27-09: 1130 AM: I filed a Mail Fraud Complaint the with the US Postal Inspection Service against Lose Weight Systems at URL: https://postalinspectors.uspis.gov/forms/MailFraudComplaint.aspx. Monday 3-2-09: Received ANOTHER unsolicited package via the US Postal Service; ADIPOSERX, 60 tablets: from Lose Weight Systems. I left a VM at the 800 number asking them to call and explain this end unsolicited order. I’m sorry to say there will probably be more to this story. My guess is there are hundreds or even more whom have been victimized by this fraud.

This vendor charged a bottle Caralluma Extreme to our company credit card and as a result, we had to cancel the card. They had the card number and one of the buyers' names, and did not even have the correct name on the card. This means to me that the orders were illegally placed. I think the amount of $34.84 allows them to charge without actually getting advance approval of the charge. We were charged on 2/2/09 and the product did not arrive until after I cancelled the order, about three weeks later. They were very good about refunding the charge and credited the card right away. Return address is 1155 W. Pioneer Blvd. Suite 103-211, Mesquite, NV 89027, but USPS package was sent from Salt Lake City, UT. Company info is www.loseweightsystems.com.

A second bottle arrived a few days later which leads us to believe that once they have your card number on file and it works, they can continue billing you. You have to cancel the card to keep from getting billed again.

I received CarallumaExtreme diet pills in mail. I did not order this product. I read other complaints of the same nature/product/company. Have not been billed yet, but will dispute when I do.

ON 2/2/2009 I NOTICED A BANK CARD PURCHASE ON MY ACCOUNT FOR $34.84 WITH ATM FEE OF .70 ADIPOSE R ADIPOSERX 8004301529 KN. I CALLED THIS NUMBER AND I SPOKE WITH WALT ON 2/17/2009 . HE TOLD ME IT WAS DONE ON THE INTERNET. HE KINDLY TOLD ME HE ISSUED A CREDIT AS WE SPOKE. I DID GET MY CREDIT OF $34.84 ON 2/18/2009. I DID A SEARCE OF THIS PRODUCT AND FOUND ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS AND REALIZED I WAS NOT BY MYSELF. SO I AM ALSO SENDING MY COMPLAINT AS WELL MY CONCERN IS HOW DID THEY GET MY ATM # TO MAKE THIS PURCHASE. THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO PUT A STOP TO THIS . MAYBE BY SENDING YOU THE TELEPHONE # IT MAY HELP STOPPING THEM.

Adipose Rx created an unauthorized charge on my credit card--I notified the company and they had to cancel the card, causing me many problems with the need to have a new card overnighted and having to set up a new account in my Quicken account.

Then, a package with 'New Caralluma Extreme' arrived at my mailing address, again unordered and unauthorized.

These people seem to be running some kind of national scam--the Attorney General of Nevada needs to shut them down ASAP. Many people may not notice the charge to their account because of its small amount (creating a big headache). Somebody is making a lot of money with this scam and somebody needs to go to jail...
