Lean Life PM ,LeanRx dishonest, stealing social security money, fraudulent billing, unauthorized debits from my account Internet
About 2 years ago, desperate for help to lose weight, I decided to try Lean Life PM. I was double billed right off the bat and didn't get my supply. When I complained, they did credit back the 2nd payment of $69.95 and I did get my supply about a week later. It didn't work, so I cancelled it.
Imagine my surprise 3 months later when $99.95 was deducted from my checking account by them. I called, was told the person who took my request to cancel didn't stop the payments. I was assured they were stopped and told to expect my refund within 72 hours. It took over a week.
5 months later, while balancing my checkbook, I came across 2 deductions from my checking account, the first for $49.95 and the second for $69.95, both by LeanRx.net. When I called again, I was told that the company had be restructured and renamed and that some information had been lost in the transition. I was promised a refund and no further charges. That refund took over 2 weeks.
Now, here I am about a year after that last incident, trying to figure out where in the world $119.90 of my social security money has gone that I am broke in the middle of the month with checks outstanding and getting ready to bounce. No great surprise to see not one, but two deductions by LeanRx.net. Again, the first was for $49.95 and the second for $69.95.
I called my bank, got an 800 number that no one answers and the web site is just outright GONE! What an outright scam! My bank says they can put a flag on my account, but cannot guarantee another payment won't slip through. The bank actually advised me to close my account and open another one as the only way to guarantee they can't get any more of my money.

Well, I just got in from the bank. According to Shawnte at the Loss Management division of my bank, I am not the first complaint about them, especially in recent weeks. They already have them under investigation, and she informed me the FBI is currently investigating as tens of thousands of complaints have been filed. But there ends the good news. I had to close my account, and open a new one. The money that they stole leaves me having to stop payments on checks before they bounce, and call my creditors to explain the situation. It also leaves me without easy access to my funds while I wait for a new check card. I have to update my direct deposit, and update all of my creditors so they can get paid. The bank will refund my money. My only hope is that these thieves get caught and are ordered to pay restitution, not only to the customers they ripped off, but also to the banks who had to cover their customers losses.
