Following a website advertisement for Fat burn supplements. I decided to try a free sample of the product. I was only interested as I only had to pay for the shipping of the "Maximum Burn Xtreme " supplement pills a total of $3.87. There was no trial period that I had to sign upto, so I genuinely believed it was a good product and they were obviously a large company confident there product worked and they had repeat customers as a result of their free sample. I know companies offer free samples of their products to maximise their potential sales, so it did not appear unusual.
I have never been scammed before so had no reason to disbelieve what I was agreeing too.
Subsequently, I received an email on 24/04 stating the order had been confirmed and that I did not have to reply to that email.
Thr free sample did arrive and I thought no more of it until my wife realised that the Lean Body Burn company had taken a total of three transactions the 1st being for £2.58 ($3.87), which I did authorise. This also incurred an overseas charge of £1.25 which was not mentioned on their advert. The 2nd transaction which was a fraudulent transaction was on the 9th of May for £60.39 ($87.47) and another £1.25 overseas charge. I had not authorised this transaction, had not ordered anything and did not receive any goods.
The third transaction which was also a fraudulent transaction was on the 28th May for £60.53 and another £1.25 overseas charge.
The persons involved in this unlawful scam need to be caught and I wish the appropriate law enforcement agency the best in bringing them to justice. I am happy to provide a statement if required ([email protected])
