Avoid ANY products or offers from either company name at all costs. I know there are several reports listed already for this company, but one more can't hurt right.
Several months ago I signed up online for their 'FREE' sample. I received it in the mail weeks later.By that time, I had already cancelled my account with them within a couple days of placing the order for the free sample. At that time, I should no longer have had to deal with this company or expect any charges from them.
Low and behold, months down the road, I get a mysterious charge for $49.95 from LEAN RX 800-296-2029, ONTARIO, CA on my credit card statement. Immediately, I try to contact them via that phone number several times. Each time, I got a recording machine and/or automated response. This was over the past 2-3 days now, and no response from this company at all.
Today I contacted my credit card company to dispute the charge. Luckily, they were VERY helpful and understanding. I spoke with one of their investigative account managers, and she informed me they will try to charge back this unwanted charge to the bank it came from. They will also conduct their own investigation and attempt to contact this company as well.
I also filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission against this company (s) as a secondary course of action. I would like to highly suggest ANYONE whom was scammed by this company as well, to do the same. The more reports here on this site and with the FTC, the better. Thanks for allowing me to post this and watch your backs people; or should I say watch your accounts instead ;).
Good day.

9/10-11 - Tried contacting them on Sunday & Monday; Sept. 10/11 by phone but only got a recording machine. I left a message. No return calls from the company yet.
9/12 Roughly 1pm, I contacted my credit card company; Capital One, to file a dispute against the charge. They were very helpful and were going to attempt to return the charge or charge it back to this merchant's bank. They will also begin their own investigation into this fraudulent activity on my account. They also recommended me to maintain and document any and all information from here on out.
