I too was ripped off by these sorry sorry uhhhhh!!! I continued to read on the web until I found the following article below from ripoffreport.com. I had already contacted my bank when I noticed a pending debit charge I didn't authorize. I am following up with the answer below. I hope this helps someone else.

EDitor's Suggestions on how to get your money back!

HERE IS WHAT RIP-OFF SUGGESTS YOU DO:

Go to your bank within 60 days of the charge, or as soon as you know about the charge, don't delay, and tell them that there has been fraudulent activity within your account. Explain that you wish to file a dispute, and demand that they assist you in accordance with Federal Regulation E.

According to the majority of victims interviewed by Rip-off, those who immediately called their banks to dispute the charges did not get very far. Many victims got the following responses from their banks: “we could not do anything for you" or “you waited too long; it has been more than 60 days".

If the bank is says that you have waited too long, explain to them how you called their 800 number as soon as the charges were found, and were told by the bank that nothing could be done. Remind the bank that they failed to assist you properly at the 800 #, and instead, provided you with an inadequate explanation of your right to dispute. Tell the bank that it's their fault time has expired, and since they gave you the wrong info to begin with, they will just have to deal with it, take the loss and reverse the charges.

Tell them the truth; this was unauthorized and your account was NOT to be charged! Keep emphasizing how you never authorized anything! Direct them to the hundreds of victims reports that were filed on Rip-off.com. And if you're at the bank, walk them over to their computer and make them go to this site! If you are on the phone with them, tell them you will wait while they access this site! Either way, be persistent!

DO NOT TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER!

Let them know nicely, that you were advised to Report them (the Bank) and this situation to the Banking Commission in your state. Since each state has a different name for the agency/controller over banks, find that name before you call or get to the bank so you can throw it in their face. The more knowledgeable you appear to be, the further you will get.

And just continue to demand the Federal Regulation E form! The bank CAN, MUST and WILL reverse the charge! But, you must be persistent; ask to speak to the supervisor or the area manager for all the branches in the state.

Let the bank personnel know you are meeting with the media later in the day, that you would much rather they do the right thing (as most other banks have) by looking at the complaints and immediately reversing the charge(s) to your account; no matter how long ago it was. Be sure to call the Media if necessary so you are telling the truth.

If you have to, be loud (but nice) in front of other customers. If you are just calling by phone, the above tactics should still work. The bank can easily fax or mail to you the Federal Regulation E dispute form.

CHARGES TO YOUR CREDIT CARD

If the charge was to your credit card (not debit card, check card, or checking account), contact the credit card company as soon as possible to request a dispute form. Consumers usually have a little longer to dispute fraudulent credit card charges (up to 6 months), but it is better to act right away. In this type of situation, credit card disputes are usually successful since fraudulent companies often won't contest the disputed charge. In rare cases, credit card companies will review disputes, but refuse to reverse the charges. If this occurs, complain to a manager and let them know you will be filing a report here.

Remember… Don't let them get away with it! Make sure they make the Rip-off .. The more Reports filed on a Company or individual, the more likely it is that the authorities, media and attorneys will want to take action.

And good luck… Let us know how you do!

I ordered a free sample. I only had to pay s&h. I just got an e-mail from them stating that they have sent part two of my shipment. There was no part two. I ordered a sample with no strings attached. I cannot get in touch with them. My bank gave me the phone number 888-360-6661. It rings four times and then it just stops. The company is also affiliated somehow with nexgenlabsusa and with Prestige Marketing. I can get no information or make contact with them. I am still trying.

I am going to the bank tomorrow to see what I can do about it. The bank states that there will be an investigation, etc. Meanwhile, I am on a limited income and just lost most of the money I had to last me the rest of the month.

Here is the Okalahoma Department of Corporations Website. The website that contains these adds can be found on www.networksolutions.com whois button. It shows the contact name, email address and name of the Company as Pure Energy Products and the Contact person is Brian Forester. If you go to the State of Oklahoma Secretary of State's Department of Corporations website, there is a Pure Energy Products company listed. I am sure it wont be too difficult for you guys in Oklahoma to find this guy, process service him and his resident agent and take him down.

Here is the SOS of Oklahoma.

People think they can hide behind a computer and some hidden addresses. Well, I flew up to Seattle on one occasion and found my guy. He was running scared...

I ordered my "free" sample of Hoodia Fusion as seen on my local news website. Well "free" turned into $89.97. I have already contacted my bank to dispute this. I would have liked to have clicked on one of the links that they put in their nice email that they sent me stating that I agreed to this purchase, but every link I clicked came up to "page could not be displayed." I see that i am not the only one to have gotten scammed by this product.

I only ordered and agreed to pay for the sample $4.95 i was charged without my knowledge $149.95 to my account... I did not authorize this and want a refund put back into my account... My bank is aware of this. I want my money back... I have not even received the product they say i ordered.
