Federal Trade Commission Warns About Weight Loss Scams

ended up being billed every month...

The latest scam being pushed by the marketers of weight loss medication is the promotion of free samples to entice customers. The Federal Trade Commission in America has warned that hundreds of people who signed up for free samples and gave their credit card information to pay for shipping ended up being billed every month. There are also reports of customers who had a long drawn out battle to get their money back.

Federal Trade Commission Warns About Weight Loss Scams

The products which were promoted heavily on the internet and the ones that the Federal Trade Commission specifically warned about are Burn Fat 2, LeanLife PM, Hoodia 66, RxZyte, Hoodia Thin and HoodiaGordonii.

The Federal Trade Commission has charged a number of companies and individuals with making false and unsubstantiated weight loss claims, failing to adequately inform customers that ordered free samples that they would be charged monthly for further weight loss tablets and also for taking money from the accounts of customers who had cancelled their orders or had tried to cancel them.

This case highlights the dangers of giving your credit card information to an organisation which offers free samples especially if it involves dubious and untested weight loss medication. The majority of weight loss supplements and medications offered by spam emails are waste of time and if you use them you could end up harming your health.

The only weight loss medications approved by the Food & Drug Administration in America and by the EMEA in the European Union are Xenical and Reductil and using anything else could mean that you are playing games with your health.

The Xenical and Reductil weight loss drugs have been tested by thousands of people by the two most stringent health authorities in the world and that is why you can rest assured that they are both effective and safe.
