Until a couple of years ago, consumers in most states could buy "Phentermine, " a drug commonly used for weight-loss, online. I recently tried to order some and fell victim to PGH Products' scam.
Consumers can no longer order this drug online, but if they try to google "phentermine, " tons of seemingly different web-sites will come up that are all run by PGH Products.
If you look closely, you will see that PGH slightly altered the spelling from "phentermine" to "phentramine." The two drugs are both sold in the exact same 30 pills to a bottle with the same milligrams in each capsule. The colors and shapes of the two pills are the same. The benefits and side-effects of the drug are listed as the same, but they are NOT the same!
I even talked to one of their representatives, and he assured me that the two were the same. When I got the product, they had double charged me claiming that I had ordered twice as much as I really ordered.
There was no company logo, no company address, no phone number, no email, no website address on the invoice. They are really proud of their product, arn't they? Right away, I saw that what they sent me was nothing like phentermine. I also tried one or two, and I found no similarities.
I went to the website to find out how to contact them.in the tiniest of fonts at the very bottom is a notice saying 'all sales are final.' The salesman on the phone gave me an email address of "[email protected]", and after a week, they responded to say they can do nothing.
I am contacting my credit card to try to dispute the charge of $334.00. It was bad enough to have been taken in by their scam, but I don't want to have to pay for it twice. I am also going to contact the BBB and the FTC to see if they can help.
If anyone wants to try phentermine for weight-loss, he needs to get a doctor's prescription for it. I have since learned that it is a prescription drug, and as such it is illegal to get it without a prescription. Also, I have since read many other stories on the web from others who got ripped off or received some type of fake that could be harmful.
