Pure Energy Products ripoff E-mail scam Delivery Scam Unauthorized withdrawal from Bank Account Theft Oklahoma City Oklahoma
I ordered a free trial of their products which only stated that I would pay for shipping $4.95. I read all of the fine print and terms and conditions. While their terms and conditions were very wordly and didn't make much sense, it clearly, did not spell out any agreement for future payments, late fees, charges that would incur if you did not cancel or/nor did it state you were being put into a monthly program for future shipments or charges. I did not, clearly, like others who have fallen prey to Pure Energy Products spam, I did not authorize any other charges or shipments. I received their product within five days of my paying for the FREE samples, and just tossed it aside somewhere in my home.
Well, low and behold, two weeks later, I checked my banking online and discovered a charge of $149.95 pending processing on my account, 11/29. I was like, "What the hell!" I called the number associated with Pure Energy Products, got someone on the line (the guy even sounded professional) then was switched to customer service. Customer service is nothing more than a voice mail stating that they are busy, to leave a phone number and a message and they will get back with you. I left a message. I then quickly notified my bank that this was a fraudlent charge on my account. Since the charge was still pending and had not yet posted, I was requested to call back the next day to file my charge.
The next day I called my bank back bright and early to file my charges. Once I got to the person in fraud control, she asked if I had tried to settle my complaint. I stated that I had tried to reach the company in question. She asked to do a three way on the phone. I told her no problem. It was not surprising that "we" could not get anyone from the company on the phone. In the meanwhile, I have requested that my credit card be closed, my money has been refunded through the bank and will remained refunded till the bank goes through a fraud investigation. I will clearly be supplying them with all of the literature I have found out about the company.
Hopefully, the company can be shutdown and made to pay restitution to those they have scammed. Unfortunately, company like "them" will file bankruptcy before they will pay back anything. This has taught me a big lesson, please guard your credit at all cost. Free trials are usually not free, please read the fine print. If the fine print does not spellout clear instructions, don't bother. But truly, I would like to see this company put out of business!

I just wanted to report the ad that started all of the scam. Pure Energy Products had the nerves to send me another email 12/7 with the same advertisement. I tried to cut and paste the information in this box, but they have a paste block on the page. The email came to me as "15 day Challenge." They are also running this web with "Rewards Showcase, 18375 Ventura Blvd Ste 289, Tarzana, CA 91356. You are suppose to be able to unsubscribe from their database, but I tried and it didn't work. Question, is there any way their website ad can be posted openly exposing their scam? With so many complaints, how could these people stay in business? Honestly this Sucks!

In the end, they made nothing off of you. You forced them to accept a chargeback fee. That's helping to put them out of business.

First let me say this. You NEVER want to eat pills that you got from an internet scam. They're usually animal pills. Dog worm pills. Cow pills to prevent ticks. Stuff that's made to prevent mange on a goat! If the horses won't eat this crap, let's try bottling them up and selling them to internet suckers. What does it tell you when even the animals are smart enough to spit this stuff out? You never know. You could lose weight. Or, you could get sick as hell. How are you gonna explain any of this in the emergency room? I bought some energy pills from an online scam. I don't know exactly what's in them How is the doctor going to treat you if neither of you have any idea what you took? Don't take any chances by actually eating the stuff. Throw it out or send it back. You now understand how scams work. They lure you in with free offers and end up cheating you out of hundreds of dollars. Free always comes attached to some kind of a scam. Nothing is ever free. Anytime you give out an account, they can take WHAT they want, WHEN they want. Who cares what you think or what you agree to? They're a scam. The idea is to take as much from you as possible. These companies stay in business for one simple reason. MONEY. Most people don't know how to get it back. Sure, in the end, everyone realizes they have been cheated. But 90% of the people call the scam back and waste their time asking for a refund. The scams just stall you. They never give anything back. Only a small percentage of people actually file complaints with their bank. That's why these scams continue. Most people lose hundreds. A few manage to get refunds. All in all, the scams take in big bucks. I'll tell you. The SMARTEST thing you did was to come here and post a complaint. Now, the whole world will see this. It comes up in google, usually right at the top. Plus, you now know exactly where you can research something before you send them your account info. Right here on the ripoffreport. Looks like you will win, in the end.
