Yes, the same thing happened to me.  How does someone just take money from someone's account.  I was charged $34.35 for some diet pills.  I only weigh 125 pounds... I don't really need to lose weight.

Those no good people are just thieves and I have reported this to my bank.

Check your account often for any type of fraud.

I just received diet pills in the mail that I didn't order and I checked my credit acct. and sure enough "Adipose Rx" charged my account $34.84
and I don't even know who they are! This is my Credit, not my debit, so I'm disputing the claim. These pills are called "Caralluma Extreme" and the Company on the label is "Lose Weight Systems". HOW DID THEY GET INTO MY ACCOUNT?

I also received the pills in the mail with no paperwork, which is unusual. I figured it was just junk and I threw them away. Then, when I was going over my bank accounts on line, I saw the charge. I was shocked! I called my bank; they stopped my card and will send me the paperwork to report fraud. They also told me to report it on IC3.gov, which I just finished doing. Adipose Rx never called me at all; they just sent the pills and charged the account.

I too just received this pills in the mail I looked online it is quite a scam. The Attorney General in Navada needs to get on this issues ASAP. They were charged to my credit card. I have now closed out mu credit card account. I also filled out the online form at loseweightsystems.com to cancel. I am not returning the pills if they want them they can end me a return receipt. I am goiong to fil with the attorney General/ consumer complaint department.

These tools sent me these diet pills in the mail with nothing for paperwork.I researched the company,called them and they told me they would refund my credit card.I never gave them authorization and when I asked how they got my authorization they said through an internet promotion!
I have never heard or seen anything about this company!
How the hell can they just charge my credit card?
I used the credit card very sparingly and only recently used in in the last 3 months to reserve a rental car thru AVIS.
Something tells me they have something to do with it WATCHOUT!

I got the same pills, which I never ordered, from a company I never heard of. Bank of America removed the charge to my card when I called and alerted its fraud department. That was easier than I thought it would be.

This scam happened to me too. I don't know how they can just get our credit card information like that. I hope this company get caught and shuts down!

Me too!  I just noticed the charge for 35.53 on my credit card statement. I did not recognize "Adipose RX", so I googled the 8004301529 number listed on the statement and found this page.  I have not as yet received any pills, just the bills.
I called my credit card company to dipute this charge and they immediately closed my account and said they will issue a new card in a week.  I also get to fill out a two page fraud report.  
Gee thanks.  But actually I am grateful for this page so I could bypass this rip off.

I was hit as well, adipose rx charged me for $34.84 and the international transaction fee of $1.05.

There seems to be a large number of people on the internet posting the same issue.  No one has pinpointed the culprit although suspects include paypal or some online purchase.

I personally have not been to AVIS (as mentioned above) but have used paypal in the past.

As of May 12, 2009 I am still waiting for "Lose Weight Systems" in Utah to refund my $34.84 which was fraudulently charged to my credit card in March.  It is possible that whomever stole the credit card info was only using this company to verify that the credit card would work, at which time the thieves sell the card info on an internet site.  I immediately had the card voided.

My complaint with this diet pill company, if they do refund my loss, is that they have used my money for two months before returning it.  If they drag things out long enough, it makes it difficult to get the money returned to that card.  So I hold them partially responsible for the grief they are causing.

I suspect that the original theft of the credit card info came from a Minnesota Congressional campaign donation I made just before the November election.  You are required to provide a lot of information, which makes the cards very vulnerable.

Please check your cards every month for unauthorized purchases because it only takes one to let the crooks know that your card info can be resold.  Then you see the big charges.

I was charged $34.94 by some company that calls itseslf Loseweight Systems.It was taken right out of my checking account . How does that happen?

did you get the info you needed and is she still seeing him?

Keith,
My stepdaughter's mother is involved with this Shaun Shelton. What information do you have on him? The mother appears to now be working for him and I want to cut them off from our daughter if they are these types of people. Anyhelp you can offer to prove he is a scumbag would be appreciated.

I don't normally look at my bank statements in a timely manner but I noticed in June 2009 that 2 suspicious transactions occurred on my account on March 22, 2009.  One was for $34.84 and one was for .28 cents.  When I called the company listed on my account summary, "Adipose RX 800-430-1529" they answered "Lose Weight Solutions".  I spoke to a very nice "customer service" person who claimed she was able to look up the transaction and verified that it was, indeed an incorrect charge to my account.  Some other person supposedly ordered some pills but it wasn't for my name or address.  She assured me that my money would be refunded in 3-5 business days.  In July, my money still had not been refunded so I called again.  This time I got a male who acted like a severe injustice had been done to me and he would take care of it right away.  Since then, my money has not been refunded AND I can no longer get through to anyone via the 800 number.  I decided to "Google" the number (800-430-1529).  There I found that hundreds of people have been victim to this scam and have been fraudulently charged the exact same amount of $34.84.

Same thing for me. just noticed 4 charges from ADIPOSE RX and CARRALLUMMA EXTREME. I have autopay and just had a chance to check my statements because my balance seemed high. Citibank credited my account right away and issued me a new account number. I tred calling the 800-430-1529 and it rang busy.

I just wanted to add one more thing. If you have had your information compromised, and your not sure how, then it might be a good idea to delete all your favorites, and then save new links to your favorites by going directly to the websites. This will insure you don't have a phishing pages in your favorite links.

I have had 7 of these charges on my card as well. These charges associated with the necessary information is not the fault of Heartland payment systems or PayPal. If you read the article about Heartland payment systems you will see that the information obtained by the leak did not reveal enough information to make the credit card numbers useful. No address information was obtained.

I make between 100 to 200 online transactions per month, but only through reputable sites. I use paypal every single day for nearly 10 years without issue.

I spoke with Bank of America and they will just keep disputing the charges, and you wonder why? It's simple, keep reading. I have maintained
a anti fraud website for 10 years investigating fraud on ebay, and it has become obvious that ebay and the banks have something in common, they don't do anything to stop this type of fraud becuase they make money by doing nothing. If the charge does not get disputed, then they make money, if the charge gets disputed then the bank charges Adipose large fees for a bad transaction, so the bank makes money either way. Banks do the same thing ebay does. If there is a fraud they ignore it becuase they make money from the fraud transaction. The only solution is to call or file complaint with the Internet fraud division of the FBI, and even then nothing will happen until the amounts get to be huge in the sum total.

Look at Bernie Madoff getting away with his scam for years. Our government barely does anything until it's really big.

After investigating frauds on ebay for the past 10 years I have learned allot, with this type of transaction, because it was related to check cards, credit cards, paypal, etc. these card numbers are most likely being obtained via keyloggers, Phishing, or accessing email accounts, which is fairly easy to do.

Just A Note: Adipose is the actual fraud company. I have seen within these posting suggestions that Adipose is a reputal company, it can't be,
what do you think the fraudsters are doing, buying diet pills then returning them for a refund??? or I guess you think the fraudsters need allot of diet pills. The company Adipose is the scammer, this is a no brainer to me, and since Adipose would be shipping the product to you, then the fraudsters wouldn't have anything for there money. The fraudsters are not just testing the card. I have had 7 total charges of this nature, this is a re occuring monthly charge scam by Adipose and the banks have become a part of the scam by not doing anything in my personal view the banks should be held accountable as well for not pursueing fraud charges against this company.

If you or I were doing what the banks are doing with this scam, we would be in prison.

Last comment weather anyone cares or not, and this is not for the faint of heart but necessary if you plan on protecting your system. Buy software to clear your hard drive of key loggers, spyware, then make sure your antivirus is up to date. Then after that, change all your usernames and passwords on your computer and all email, bank, and website accounts, in that order.

Other than key loggers, the only other mainstream way to obtain this information is through phishing. More people fall for phishing than any other thing. Phishing pages have become extremely hard to detect for the average user in some cases, so beware. DO NOT EVER CLICK ON LINKS INSIDE OF ANY EMAIL, NO MATTER WHO IT IS FROM INCLUDING YOUR BANK. I recieved about 500 emails a day, and I recieve at least 10 to 15 phishing links inside emails every single day, from wamu, bank of america, paypal, these are the most common, but now I have been seeing them from hundreds of banks and credit card companies. Plus I am beginning to see phishing pages for just small company websites as well. I cannot impress upon folks enough, to go directly to your companies website buy typing it into the address bar directly.  DO not use the auto links in ANY EMAIL EVER !!!!

The best shortcut way is to type in your address bar the website you want to go to, then once on the website login page, save it as a link, BUT BEWARE, if you already have links to your bank website and then all the sudden the link doesn't work one day, that means your favorites link was compromised and you had saved it from a phishing scam. Even with taking this precaution, if someone accesses your email or uses a keylogger, it won't protect you.

I could spend hours writing about this, but I thinks that's enough for now, and it is not likely I will return to the site anytime soon.

Thanks

Was also charged 34.84 on March 26th,09. Never heard of product and never received it.Ive also done all the steps contacted company, the bank and FBI and this company is still going strong. The charge of 34.84 for AdiposeRX came up though on This months statement.They need to be stopped.

I had the same problem with these slimeballs.  They had 30 days to correct the problem and that time has come and gone.  Bank of America really hasn't given a damned and they're just spinning their wheels (are they in on this scam?)

I've sent a complaint to the Federal Trade Commission (although it won't cause much to happen, at least it's on record).  My next course of action is to contact the the FBI Fraud at <http://www.ic3.gov/default.aspx> as suggested by PM above.

I got in touch with Adipose just now.  They were very responsive.  I had placed a call and left a message and they already had credited my card adn discontinued my account.  I don't know what the story is with them, but the card they used for me is a card I have not used in years!

Yes, why?

have a charge on my card also and don't know what's from.  I'm calling the company but I receive no answer.  I'll have to cancel my card, because I'm afraid they will continue to charge him.  I don't know how to handle this situation

I did not order this either and it was a charge on my CC for 03-21-09
I've left a message with their 800-430-1529 and even left a message from their website loseweightsystems.com.  They indicate on the website that you can investiage an order.

Since this was made on my CC...I can def dispute the charge. My CC informed me that if I do not get it resolved they will investigate and report as fraud.

Not sure if I should get a different card yet or not.

Got hit with it on my March credit card statement. 34.84. Have 0 dealings with this company. Called my bank, told them it was a fraudulent charge.

Yeah, I know. I should have said VIGILANT instead of VIGILANTE. I hit the submit button too soon.

I didn't get a call that I responded to but I got a charge of $34.84 from ADIPOSE RX posted to my MASTERCARD. I didn't recognise the charge so I called the number (800 430 1529) listed on the billing statement. The charge listed is for some type of diet supplements that I did not order & I have not had any prior contact with this company. The person I spoke to said she will cancel the charge & denied any knowledge of improper billing. I also notified my credit card company & they said they will investigate from their end. I have not really been vigilante about checking my credit card statements in the past, but I will do so now.

I just got my credit card bill and I was billed for 34.84 to my account for  Adipose RX and I have no idea how they got my credit card number or anything.

I've been charged also for 34.84

I DID NOT ORDER
MY CARD WAS DEBITED
DONT KNOW WHEN IT WILL BE CREDITED

I had a charge in my Master Card which i did not recognice. My bank had to cancel the card because i was not able to contact this people at the phone (the phon4e appears in the charge at my credict card. Is umbeliveble...I never make any call to that number or use Pay Pal!!!!!
