Boris of Brooklyn NY (01/04/08)
My credit card was fraudulently charged a few times by LeanRx.Net under Xtreme Burn, ALD Enterprises Hoodia. as well as LeanRX.Net vendor names totaling $394.79 worth of unauthorized transactions.

I took a $400 hit, which I am still trying to resolve via my credit card.

Carolyn of Duncanville TX (05/07/07)

There were three charges for 79.95, 69.95, and 75.95 on our January statement and I didn't notice them because my mom recently died and I hadn't taken the time to go over my statement. Now my bank won't credit the charges back to me because it's been more than 60 days. I asked if I should cancel the card, but they told me that the company probably wouldn't do it again. Today (May 5) I see that this company has once again charged my account for 79.95.

James of Carmichael CA (04/30/07)
Tried to buy lunch today and was declined. Went home to find my ATM card had been used in the amount of 106.90 and 84.97. These charges were shown as Revenueshield86 and the other was CJW Holdings Inc. The phone number for both of these companies were the same. I called it and it was just a female recording for Extreme Lean Rx and it cut you off.

I went to the website and the link to contact them doesn't work. So I have closed my account and filed the necessary paperwork. So beware as it seems they are using different business names than the ones they used in 1/07 noted by others above.

Betty of Shawano, WI (04/24/07)
I never ordered anything from them and I've been charged over $300.  Not only are they going under the name of LeanRx, but also Xtreme Burn, because the phone number is the exact same.

They also have another phone, which is 866-882-3057, and neither work.

Jonathan of Mt. View HI (03/26/07)

I was charged twice for $74.95 and $69.95


Harold of Leesburg FL (03/21/07)
On my Bank of America credit card billing for January 2007 I was charged by Leanrx using a non valid credit card number $74.95 and $69.95. The credit card they charged these amounts to had been replaced by another. Also on the same billing I was charged by a company called Xtreme Burn using a card that at the time was valid, $79.95. Both companies were listed as being from Henderson, NV I immediately notified Bank of America Fraud division and on January 12, 2007 mailed them a certified letter notifying them of the charges.

When I talked to the bank rep about the matter, she couldn't explain why Bank of America would authorize a purchase when the card number was invalid. She couldn't explain it. On my next billing which was for February, I noticed they credited me for the two Leanrx billings and the Xtreme Burn billing, plus another billing from a company called Dream Smile in the amount of $14.95.

After I wrote my letter and received verification that the bank fraud division had recieved it, I received a letter from the fraud division requesting that I sign an affadavit and return it to them, which I did. These actions took place in the months of January and February of 2007. Then on March 21, 2007 I received in the mail a bottle of Extreme Lean RX from the Leanrx.net company. I called them and couldn't get past their auto answering service, which requested my credit card number. I then called the Bank of America Fraud Division and queried them about my receiving this bottle of pills. They said to just disregard it and that they were investigating the company. Again I asked how it was that the bank approved the invalid card in the first place. The girl I talked to said she had no idea. My concern is that if a company can get approval using an invalid credit card number, what protection do I have in such a case.

Susie of El Paso TX (03/20/07)
I received my credit card statement in January with 2 charges from the company leanrx.net.for something I did not order. One charge on 01-07-07 for $74.95 and one charge on 01-14-07 for $69.95. When trying to get ahold of them I got an automated service wanting my credit card number. I didn't give it to them and they gave me an e-mail address of support@leanrx.net. When sending an e-mail to this address it was returned as undeliverable and address unknown.

I contacted my credit card company and they reversed the charges saying the case was closed unless they heard from the merchant. On 03-20-07 I received a bottle of extreme lean rx pills and am sending them back via certified mail stating I did not order them. It is the first bottle I have received since being billed. I will continue to check my credit card statements for any unauthorized billings.

I am concerned that with these charges coming up on my statement that they may put me over my credit limit which would only add more charges to my credit card and I am concerned about them ruining my credit standing.

Rita of Ellenton FL (03/20/07)
We have a credit card that has been used in the past. When the renewal came, we never activated it - BUT - we still got statements for Dec., Jan, Feb. and Mar. with charges of 69.95 and 79.95 for something we did not order or even know what it was for. We called the credit card company each month and they said we had to pay the amount or ruin our credit rating! No way!

After debating, the credit company gave us credit. This month we got another bill with new charges PLUS a 29.00 late fee! What I want to know is, how can someone charge to a credit card when said card isn't even activated?

We got an affidavit from the Credit company, had to have it notorized before they will even delete that card. They will then give credit for the charges. Who's the thief here and who's getting punished. This is a terrible scam costing unlimited numbers millions of dollars. Unbelievable!

Patti of Au Gres, MI (03/11/07)
Received my credit card statement on 2/5/07.  I was charged $74.95 on 12/29/06; $69.95 on 1/12/07; $79.95 on 1/24/07.  Then I looked back on my credit card statement and found on 9/7/06 for $79.95 for another LeanRX - some kind of product I did not order or received-ever!!

I called the 800 number on 2/1/07 and got a recording that my bill would be credited.  I received my March bill and nothing has been credited. Can't email support @ leanrx.net because the email comes back to you; there is no address to contact them and no phone number to get a hold of someone, only a recordng.

Angela of Nipomo CA (03/10/07)

 They stole my credit card number and need to be prosecuted! My credit card company reversed charges after I notorized a signed affidavit which was quite a hassle.

¸

Barbara of Newbury NH (03/06/07)
I have had two charges against my checking accountin January for a company called Lean RX and also under the name of xtreme burn. I have never ordered anything from them. One charge was for 74.95 on 1/2/07, another 69.95 on 1/16/07 and another for 79.95 on 1/27/07. The charges are coming through as a debit to my checking account.

Marguerite of St. Louis, MO (03/06/07)
I ordered a sample of LeanRX last year, never reordered, and they have charged my card 3 times.   There is no one to contact.  If you call the 800 number they ask for credit card number and then say they will credit your account, then the next month there is bigger charge.

If you wan to talk to someone the only way is to go to a website which is inactive and give you an email address which bounces back as not a good one.

John of Jackson NJ (03/03/07)
I received fraudualant charges from a company i never heard of or ordered from.

$224.85 in 2 months on my mastercard

Edwin of San Francisco CA (03/03/07)

I too was a victim of Leanrx.net and had $248 stolen from my Visa debit card. So, I filed a claim with my bank and was issued a new card.

Brandy of Bainbridge GA (02/28/07)

On January 16 I was charged $69.95 on my statement. I saw the leanrx charge for that amount pending so I called my bank and asked for the phone number that I could reach this leanrx at and they gave me an 800 number. I was told by the bank that let it clear then they could get more information about this. Well, two days later another charge of $79.95 was charged. I was mad so I called the bank ASAP. I am on a budget here and can't pay for something that I didn't order or just plain out give money away.

Then the bank put my account on hold and because of these two charges checks bounced and I had overdraft fees of about $500. The bank cut my debit card and issued me a new one and then set me up to pay bills online. I have to wait to get my overdraft fees back also, I ended up having to get a loan just to pay the overdraft fees and pay some bills that the money that was wrongfully taken form me. SO now because of this I have a $145.00 loan payment due for the next 6 months.

Susan of Wilton CA (02/28/07)

On 1/05/07 I was charged $14.95 to a credit card I hardly ever use from Dream Smile in Rancho Cucamonga, CA, a company I have never heard of or ordered merchandise from. I called the phone number on the credit card statement and an automated voice asked me for the card number and I entered it and the charges were credited on my card. However, I was then charged $74.95 on 1/5/07 and $69.95 on 1/13/07 by LeanRX.net for product that I never ordered. The credit card statement showed the same phone number as the one for dream smile (866-882-3057) and again, the automated recording asked me for my card number and I punched it in and the voice said that my card would be credited. The next month's statement showed no such credit. I have cancelled my card, but have been charged $129.95 for products never ordered. I received a package from leanrx a couple of days ago, and I returned it to sender.

Cynthia of Fulton, NY (02/25/07)
These three so-called companies or rather scammers have charged fraudlent charges to my credit card. Dream Smile on Dec. 11, 2006 and Leanrx on Jan. 7,2007 and Jan. 14, 2007. Xtreme Burn joined in on Jan. 26, 2007.

I wrote to my credit card company and the first two charges were removed without any problems. Again I have written to have the second two fraudent charges removed and to have my account number changed! Isn't this against the law and why hasn't anything been done to stop these scamming so-called companies!!!!!!

Laura of Kaneohe, HI (02/25/07)
I ordered Hoodia from Nutri Core, Inc. and have been charged for the bottle of diet pills. However, for some reason, I am being charged via my credit card for 3 other charges - which were not ordered.  I have no knowledge of LeanRX or Extreme Burn.

Mary of Edmonds WA (02/25/07)
Back in December I received my monthly statement from my CC company and there was a $14.95 dollar charge on my bill. I contacted my cc company and they removed the charge. Then in January my cc company called and said that there was someone trying to charge $79.95 to my cc from leanrx and used the incorrect expiration date when doing this. Thank God my credit card company caught this. The charges have been removed and the acct cancelled. 

 

John of Broadalbin, NY (02/24/07)
Got three charges to my debit account and never received any merchandise. I never have ordered anything from this company, and only after looking at my bank statement did I notice that I had three charges within weeks of each other.

When I called the 800 number on my statement it was a total joke. I was asked to give them my account. Why would I do that when I didn't give it to them in the first place.

 

L. of West Hills, CA (02/24/07)
I discovered charges on my debit card for medication I did not order. One was from LeanRx and the other from Xtreme Burn. They both had the same phone number. 866-882-3057.

I went on line and found 4,880 complaints about the same outfits. I reported this to my bank and cancelled my debit card.

J of Brooklyn Park, MN (02/24/07)
Noticed a charge of $14.95 on my bank statement made by DREAMSMILE last month. I never made this.

Cancelled my atm card, bank reversed the charges, next statement 3 more charges were made, one a week 1-9 for 74.95, 1-16 for 69.95 and 1-29 for 79.97.

Names use for these LEANRX.NET and XTREME BURN.  The only consistant information on these fradulent charges are 2 phone numbers, when called there is a recording that tells you to give them you credit card number, they don't even identify themselves.

Bruce of Port Chester NY (02/23/07)
In January, we started incurring charges from the following companies: Leanrx, Dreamsmile and Xtreme Burn. We tried to call the 800# listed on the credit card, but we got a recording to leave leave your credit card #. We contacted our credit card company to remove these charges. In doing so, we had to close our account and file a claim with the credit card company. LeanRX had charged our credit card twice, and we never ordered anything from them nor have we ever visited their websites. We also incurred unauthorized charges from XtremeBurn and Dreamsmiles. Today, we received a package from LeanRx, containing a bottle of pills. I refused to open the bottle...afraid as to what might be in it.

It came from the following address: 1084 East State Road, American Fork, Utah 84003. It was sent via USPS First Class. I called the 800# listed on the bottle, and you get the same recording, asking you to leave your credit card #. These are definitely fraud charges cause we never visited their sites nor made any purchases from them. In fact, the credit card we had to close was hardly used for any type of purchases.

Mark of Oakland Gardens NY (02/23/07)
Like the others I was erroneously charged for 4 items: Lean.RX.Net 1/10/07 $74.95 XTREME BURN 1/16/07 $69.95 XTREME BURN 1/27/07 $79.95 And 14.95 from Dream Smile the previous month. I never ordered any of these items or anything from those vendors. The transactions are under investigation on behalf of my credit card company; I will not be charged for these transactions. This is widespread and I find it difficult to understand how these perpetrators remain at large.

Marceline of Aromas CA (02/23/07)
THis complaint is against LeanRX who have charged my credit card four times for product they did not ship nor did I order the product. I was charged in March '06, September '06, December '06, and January '07 for amounts ranging from 69.95 to 79.95. In every instance, I disputed the charge against my card. Two of the disputes have been cleared in my favor, the December charge is still in process and the January charge file disputed only this week. This company operates in the most fraudulent manner I have ever witnessed.

Originally, in 2005 I order the product they advertised, received the product and returned it to the sender since my DR. said it contained something I should not consume. I wrote BBB to Ontario, Ca which was forwarded to Salt Lake City, and have a response from BBB. Latest location noted is Henderson, NV. Even the phone number posted on my cc statement does not offer a contact, only a recording to input a cc number for order. This is out and out thievery. They should be put out of business. I do not wish to be part of your (MeasuredUP.com) contest, I only want my cc free of the LeanRX charges that keep showing up on my cc. Complaint filed 2/22/07 with MeasurerUp.com/

Kenneth of Moody, TX (02/21/07)
leanrx and extremeburn have taken money from my debit account a total of 3 times in January 2007 without my ever going to either of their websites.

 

Kenneth of Hahnville LA (02/18/07)

In January I started receiving unauthorized charges from a company called Leanrx, Dreamsmile and Xtreme Burn. There is no way for me to contact the company. When I called the 800 number I get a recording. I am presently trying to get my credit card company to remove these charges and issue and return of my monies. I have had to file a claim with the credit card company and close my account.

Richard of Oakdale, CA (02/14/07)
This company has charge my credit card without my approval.  I believe they are from a domain outfit called ominis.net and also go by the name of Dream Smile and Xtream Burn.

Jennifer of Wesley Chapel FL (02/03/07)

I checked my credit card statement online today and found that I had been charged $79.95 on 1/26/07 from a company called LeanRx.net. This didn't sound familiar and it prompted me to look back at past statements. This is where I found four more bogus transactions from not only LeanRx.net, but Dreamsmile and Xtremeburn/Xtremeonline. As of today's date my card has been charged a total of $298.75 for product that I never ordered or received.

As a result of this fraudulent activity I have had to file a fraud claim with my credit card company, which they were very helpful. Unfortunately the only way to stop further charges is to close the account and reissue new cards with new account numbers.

Nikki of Sugar Creek MO (01/31/07)
Have been charged to my credit card the amounts of $79.95 * $74.95 & 69.95. I have not ordered anything from this company but are being charged each month.

I live on a fixed budget and this has really caused a problem for me.

Mary of Winnsboro, TX (01/31/07)
I ordered nothing from this company, and yet here on my January credit card bill is a charge for $49.95. I had never even heard of this company until now.  I can only assume that my info was sold to them or that they managed to fish it off the internet although I try to be sure that I only deal with secure sites.

I called the 800 number and got a recording asking for my credit card number, HA! I didn't give it to them the first time, why would I now?

Then I went to the web site, "Under construction, please email us". 

Betty of Valley Springs, CA (01/31/07)
My credit card has fraudulent charges from these 3 businesses who are the same - Dream Smile, Leanrx.net, and the latest Xtreme Burn.  I have never ordered anything from them. I have no idea how they got my credit card number.

I have done what my credit card company suggested, but can't get through to a live person and there is no valid email or a physical address to write to. They have charged my account 4 times under different names for a total of $239.80.

Shirley of Galveston, TX (01/31/07)
My credit card statement has two unauthorized and unreceived charges: $74.96 on 12/31/06 and $69.95 on 1/13/07.

A call to the 800 number resulted in not being able to speak with anyone but to send an e-mail to cs@leanrx.net which was deemed by the mailing service to be undeliverable. I notified my credit card company that I am disputing the charges.

Dorothy of Buffalo, NY (01/31/07)
My credit card was charged for $74.95 on 12/31 and $69.99 0n 1/13.  I never heard of this company or ever ordered from them.

When I called the phone number, on my credit card bill, I got a message telling me to type in my card numbers.  Then the message said that my card would be issued a refund.  I tried to email this company, but it came back saying the delivery of my message failed.

I am being charged for stuff I never ordered or received!!!

 

Barbara of Tampa, FL (01/30/07)
I was looking at my account and noticed a $79.95 transaction to Extreme Burn.  I called the 800 and 866 numbers available. No success. The same type of transaction had also occured on four other occasions.  As of today, from what I have been able to research for my account, I am out over $320 in less than 45 days.

Diana of Culver City, CA (01/30/07)
Multiple unauthorized charges starting with DreamSmile in December (only $14.95 and I did not get suspicious right away), then LeanRx.Net for $$74.95, XtremeBurn for 69.95, and then LeanRx.Net again for $79.95.

I searched for LeanRx.net on the BBB website for Southern California, and found it as a DBA for Genixlabs of 1246 Linden Ave in Glendale CA 91201, supposedly a marketer of hoodia supplements. They list no personnel but give phone numbers of (877) 277-9887 and (800) 304-8447.

Edilberto of Alameda, CA (01/29/07)
4 times my account was charged $79.00, $89.00, $98.00 etc. for a product that I did not order or receive.

Patti of Lonepine MT (01/28/07)

I just checked my Pay Pal debit account for the first time in a couple of months since I had not made any transactions in that time. I see that there was very little money left in the account because Leanrx and Dream Smile took $74.95 and $14.95 respectively. The Dream Smile did it in Dec. and the Leanrx in Jan.

They also tried again in Jan. for $69.95 but were denied since I didn't have enough money in that account. I tried their 800 numbers and the recording was the same for both names but different phone numbers. I also tried the email addresses they gave and were sent back saying they were invalid.

Sarah Majidy of Avon CT (01/28/07)
I've been getting charged for somthing I've never purchased or agreed too.

Carla of Middleriver, MD (01/28/07)
I got two seperate charges on my credit card for something I never purchased nor knew about. I got my statement and a charge for $74.95 and a charge for $69.95 was on it.

 

Dana of Bridgeport OH (01/27/07)

I received my credit card statement in the mail and saw 2 charges that I knew I did not make, seeing how I had not used that credit card in 6 months. I immediately called the 800 numbers on my billing statement and got a recording. I was hoping to be able to hear a real live person on the phone so I could give them a piece of my mind. I called my credit card company and asked to speak to the fraud division. They said they would take the charges off, and that there was a lawsuit against these people.

Cynthia of Mechanicsburg, PA (01/25/07)
I went to the ATM machine at my bank to check my balance and realized I was short by almost $200. I checked my transactions online and noticed that there had been two charges made to my account in the past 10 days, both from some outfit called LeanRx.Net One charge was $69.95 and less than 10 days later $79.95 was posted. I did not authorize these transactions and have no clue who LeanRx.net is and I most definitely didn't buy anything from them.

I am on prescription medication and because the money wasn't in my account, I was not able to use my debit card to get my medicine. I had to borrow the money.

David of Chapin, SC (01/25/07)
$74.95 charge is on my credit card. I never ordered from, nor heard of LEANRX.NET.

I called the number on my statement, got automated answering. It asked for the credit card number the charge was billed to. I gave it. The voice said my card would be CREDITED with the full amount. Then Good Bye. There was no acknowledgement in the greeting as to who or what I reached. I have also contacted the credit card company.

Theresa of Jackson, MS (01/25/07)
I received my visa bill with two charges from leanrx.net in the amounts of 74.95 on 1/02/07 and 69.95 on 1/16. I called the telephone numbers listed and got an automated voice asking for credit card number, which I entered, knowing they already had it.  The automated voice requested that I wait while they search for my account information, then came back on the line telling my account had been credited and hung up.

I have called the bank and placed this amount in dispute, but  I will have to pay the bill awaiting the reimbursement by this so called company. From reading the other compaints here, it appears I will have to cancel this credit card. Just a scam and a hassel.


James of Napa, CA (01/25/07)
I received my Visa card statement and noticed tow charges from LeanRX $74.95 (1/5/07) and $69.95 (1/14/07). I researched my previous statements but they did not appear before Jan 07.  I called the 800 # and was told to enter my credit card number - no way!  I went to their website - no way to contact customer service.  I did find you could write them through a log on problem items.  I'm not even sure it goes to LeanRX.

I have notified my credit card company and they have issued a credit to my account.  I have stopped the card and ordered a new one.  I have never done any business with them and do not know how they got my card number.

Sandra of Carmel ME (01/25/07)
I was balancing out my checkbook with my bank on-line and noticed that I had been charged $74.95 on 2 Jan 07 from LeanRX.net and again on 16 Jan 07 for $69.95. I have never purchased any product from this company or have I every heard of this company. I got their 800 number off my bank statement and called and was greeted by an electronic recording which told me to go to their web site if I had any questions about any charges to my account.

They don't have a web site to go to.

It brought me right to Comsumer Affairs to report fraudulent activities. After reading several of the complaints and seeing that my situation is the same as theirs, I am going directly to my credit union tomorrow to try to retrieve my money back and stop any further charges that this bogus company my try to levy upon me. I would like to see justice from Consumer Affairs soon to stop these transactions from happening. I never even ordered a thing from them. Don't know how they got my Debit Card Number. It has to stop now.

This kind of incidents is exactly why my husband and I are very reluctant to paying our bills on line, making purchases on line, or even just surfing for products and inquiring about a product. You never know how they are getting the information so we don't feel safe.

Leonard A Williams of Tulsa OK (01/24/07)
I had ordered a sample though a survey and though nothing about it. And then I received my last credit card bill and there was a charge that put me over my limit. I did not remember ordering any thing and I knew I was close to my limited so I knew this could not be a correct charge. After research I found out that it was LeanRx and this was the second charge that I can find that they did. One was in 09/2006 and the in 01/2007 and both were unauthorized. Both times the charge was $49.95. I do not know how many times before they hint my credit card before but something needs to be done about this. And from now on I will pay closer attention and question everything on my statements.

Erin of Huntington Beach CA (01/24/07)
I checked my on line credit card statement today and noticed two charges that I did not authorize; one on 1/8/o7 for $75.95 and another on 1/15/07 for $69.95. I called my credit card and they were only able to give me a phone #, no name of the vendor. I called the # (866-882-3057) and it was answered by an automated voice asking for my credit card # or to send an email to their customer service department @ cs@leanrx.net. I sent an email and it was immediately kicked back as undeliverable. I now go on line and google leanrx.net and am shocked to read my same exact story that has happened to so many others.

I have never ordered anything from this company and for that matter have never ordered the product hoodia from any manufacturer. I now get to dispute these charges with my credit card company and hope that this doesn't come back to me. With so many people lodging complaints I hope that this matter gets looked into and settled soon.

 

Jane of Fayetteville AR (01/24/07)
I placed an order for the free hoodia wt loss pills by paying only shipping and handling in June. Charges showed up on my debit card in August. I called the number that I had then and canceled it. In October it happened a gain. I called and canceled a 2nd time. Nothing else on my debit card till January 2007. Have tried calling the number above and received an automated phone service. Another charge has now showed up again in January. Tomorrow I will go to the bank and have my debit card no. changed.

Have bounced several checks in the last 6 months, completely screwing up my credit. Am now having to change several accounts. So much for convience of debit cards.

Patrick of Solana Beach, CA (01/24/07)
My checking account debited $74.95. I have not received nor do I want any product from this company. What are my options to (1) get a refund and (2) stop any further debits to my account from this firm?

Vicky of York PA (01/24/07)
I received an e-mail to receive a free bottle of Hoodia but only pay for s/h. I received the product but did not want to continue its use. called the company in the beginning of December and cancelled the product. Today I received my credit card statement and was charged $74.95 with out my permission. Attempted to call the 800 number listed on my statement and was not able to speak with anyone. Made an attempt to get their number on line and was promptly sent to consumer affairs.

$74.95 was charged against my credit card which in turn took me over my credit card limit and I was charged $29.00 over the limit fee.

Lynn of Missouri City TX (01/24/07)
In Dec.'06 my credit card was fraudulently charged $14.95 by a company called Dream Smile. In Jan. '07 I was fraudulently charged $74.95 and $69.95 by LEANRX.NET. I reported these charges to my credit card company and they feel the two companies are linked as they are familiar with other fraudulent charges to other card holders from the same companies. The phone number associated with the charge is an automoated system which asks for your credit card number, which, of course I didn't give. Their website (leanrx.net) says it is rebuilding to better serve you in the new year. Something needs to be done to stop this unlawful practice.

Since my credit card company is crediting me for these charges, I have only the irritation of the occurrence and now have to check my statement daily for such fraud.

When viewing my bank statement I noticed there was a charge to my checking acct from LeanRX.net on 1-9-07 in the amt of $74.95. There was another charge for $69.95 on 1-16-07. I contacted my bank and they told me the charges were made with my husbands debit card number. We have never ordered anything from this company and are unsure as to how they obtained the debit card number. We have since cancelled my husbands debit card.

There was no economic damage as my bank is giving me provisional credit and they are crediting my acct in the amts debited until an investigation is made.It is unknown as to whether the bank will take their provisional credit back if they cannot recoup the money.

This company charged my Visa debit check card once in September of 2006. They said they would send me a refund but I never received anything from them. On 1-3-2007, and 1-17-2007, they did it again. In Sept of 06 they got $79.95, on 1-03-07, they got $74.95 and 1-17-07 they got $69.95. I have never received anything or ordered from them. Will be making a police report. I have had several checks to bounce plus the bank charges $32.00 for each one.

Kerry of Cameron Park CA (01/23/07)

While looking at my credit card statement I noticed a charge from LeanRx for $74.95. I never ordered anything from this company or received any product. I attempted to contact them and received a recorded message asking for my credit card number. I waited and was referred to a leanrx.net email address to leave a message, attempted to use it and it came back as being invalid. I have since been unable to reach this company for any type of refund. I am being charged for a product I never ordered or received.

Avia of Bridgeton NJ (01/23/07)

I received a charge on my credit card for $74.95 for something I have no idea what it is. I called the credit card company right away and they told me to call the 800 number. I called and got an automated service and it said I will be credited and that is all I got. It is very stressful because am on a limited budget and am trying to pay off this card and I’m right back where I started.

Nadene of San Marcos CA (01/23/07)

I was charged $14.95 in December, 2006, and $74.95 and $69.95 in Jan 2007. I sent an e-mail but it bounced back. My calls are met with an automated message. They also go under name of DREAMSMILE. I am canceling this credit card.

Jim of Missouri City TX (01/23/07)

I never ordered anything from them, the bill just appeared on my statement. I tried to contact them through the number provided on my credit card statement, just a recording and then by their e-mail address which is bogus. I was charged two times, $67.75 and $72.75 within the course of two weeks.

Relenda of Dayton OH (01/23/07)

I got fraudulent charges put on my credit card account under different names but they were all affiliated with the same company. Luckily my credit card company was aware of the company's fishy scams and refunded the amount, but the company changes their name about 10 times a year. It can go under Dreamsmiles, LeanRX.net, and some others. These are just a few. Credit card bill was run up by hundreds of dollars.

Rebecca of Centreville VA (01/20/07)
Called on the trial offer, then I received a charge on my checking account, called to cancel but the charges continue, no further product has been supplied, charges continue and now you can't get in touch with anyone

This charge has caused finacial hardship and emotional distress, the total to date of charges, not including bank charges exceed 350.00 dallars and I am being told will not stop until I cancel my account and open a new account. This adds addtional stress due to resetting up of all my other accounts that use this number.

Judy of Seminole FL (01/20/07)
I have never ordered anything from this company. I was charged 79.95 on my debit card and when I didn't recognize the name, I made a complaint to my credit union. The charge was made on 1/7/07. I discovered it on 1/15/07 and went in to see my Credit Union on 1/16/07. By that time, there was a second charge of 69.95 from 1/14/07 that didn't show up on my electronic statement yet but it was approved by the credit union so they had me add that charge to the dispute.

I had to close out my debit card and get a new one. The Credit Union did file a claim on my behalf and reimbursed me for the charges provisionally. I do not know how they got my debit card number. I am going to be very careful in the future using this card in restaurants where I cannot keep the credit card in sight. Perhaps this is how my number got used. What a mess. With all the complaints, you would think someone would shut this company down!!!

Fortunately, my credit union was good about handling this situation in a timely manner and I was reimbursed (provisionally) within 3 days. I just hope others are not taken advantage of like this. I am very careful with my account - and I feel that the message here should be to tell everyone to be meticulous when checking their account.

Shirley of Cardington OH (01/17/07)
I ordered a free sample of Hoodie, all I had to do is pay shipping and handling and I paid it with debit card -- dumb me. I paid $4.95 then in June of 2006 there was a $99.99 charge to Bumfathoodia,it caused several of my checks to bounce and I had to pay 29.99 per bounced check, 8.00 transfer fee to transfer money from my savings account to cover the checks.  

Debra of Colorado Springs CO (01/15/07)
I tried calling the above 800 number to cancel my order because I never receive anything. When I called it was an automated answering machine telling me to enter my credit card #. I wasn't about to do that so I just stayed on the line. The automated voice finally said that if I needed customer service to visit their website at leanrx.net.

When I logged on there was a message saying the website was down for improvements for 2007. They gave me a direct link to e-mail them. So I sent my e-mail stating I wanted to cancel my order effective immediately. Well, about 15 minutes I get a message of return mail. Guess who? Then to top it off I was talking to my credit card company to see what steps needed to be taken so they wouldn't charge me anymore - I'm to call back tomorrow because it being a holiday. So, I checked my credit card balance on-line and if there wasn't another charge of $69.95 pending. They had billed me once on the 1st of January for $74.95.

Well, as you can see they have charged me almost $150 for a product I never received. And where will it end?

Christine of Bayshore NY (01/12/07)
LeanRx.net put through a transaction for 74.95 on my bank card without my permission, therefore causing my account to have insufficient funds costing me another $30.00 insufficent fund charge. My bank card has been canceled due to this matter, and the bank is disputing the charge with the company. I tried to contact this company myself, but there is no phone number listed.

I am out $105.00 because of this tranaction and now I can not pay any of my bills until this matter is taken care of.

Linda of Woodruff UT (01/09/07)
I just noticed that I had been charged $74.95 on my debt card and I have had no dealing whatsoever with them. I got on the internet to see what they were and found out this exact thing has happened to many people someone needs to catch whoever is steeling our debit numbers and charging our accounts. I have taken steps to get the charges reversed but they are getting away with a lot of peoples money.

Nancy of Albemarle NC (01/05/07)
My account was charged $74.95 on 01/03/2007 -- no merchandise ordered from this site.

 

Sandra of Toledo OH (01/04/07)
I tried this product and canceled it. Then in Sept. 06, they charged my account. I contacted them and was told I would receive a refund which never happened. After many phone calls and threats I still never received my refund. I went on my account today and there is a charge from leanrx.net for 74.95 which I did not authorize.

This is fraud!!
