Momentum Direct reviews and complaints

Momentum Direct charged me for the shipping charges when I ordered about three weeks ago, they took out about 58 dollars from my checking account a little over a week ago, now they have also taken out 49.95 on 2/04/08 and then again took out 58.93 on 2/06/08, only two days later! Now my checking balance is NEGATIVE -225.50! This is absolutely ridiculous!
I nearly ran out of gas (with my 17 month old baby in the back) because the gas clerk said my card was declined! When I knew I had over a hundred dollars in the checking account! Now I'm in the biggest jam, bills are going to start pouring in and now I have to pay the bank back for over draft charges! These people need to be stopped and I want ALL of my money back!

Has anybody else sent mail to the Attorney General? If so, what happens? Do you get your money back?

My daughter had ordered the weight loss pills from this company. They did not work and she returned them. This company has charged her bank account three times now. Never returning the initial refund and continuing to charge every week without sending anything. She is in Europe on vacation so she can not freeze here account to avoid other charges to go through. I did manage to get the bank to not allow any checks to come through until she returns to close her account. This is completely fraudulent and this scam is attacking the naive youth in this country.

I wish that I had read the complaints section about momentum direct before I fell for their scam. I too was told that all I needed to do to try their product was to pay shipping and handling for a free trial. Weeks went by before they took the 2.74 out of my checking acct. and then 2 days later the diet pills came. That package was actually postmarked in TX on Oct 2, 2007 . After a couple of days of being dissatisfied with the product I was getting it prepared to return. I figured they also had a website that would allow me to contact them. That is when I came across the complaints section. I then looked at my online banking to see that they had taking 49.95 out of my acct on the 5th. Not even allowing me the chance to use the free trial. I was so up set that I tried to call the co. with NO luck. I then have sent them about 20 emails practically threatening them to return the money to my acct or send me a check. They even used a check number from my acct that was already used for something else. When I saw that they picked one of my check numbers by random, I was actually floored. I have been in touch with my bank and now I am begging anyone to give me a suggestion on what to do next...

Ordered a FREE trial product from momentum direct where it says you only have to pay for shipping. The only method of payment they accept is an electronic check. After I had not received anything for a few weeks I tried to contact the company at [protected]. The phone would ring twice then disconnect. I tried to call several times but still the same thing. Then today I had 2 more electronic checks posted to my bank account with the same check number as the one that I had used to pay for the shipping. It was from momentum direct for$49.95 on 8/22/07 and $58.93 on 8/24/07. I did not authorize any such payments and was very upset, especially since I never received anything from them. The same number I had tried to call before was on the check. I tried to call it again, and still the same thing as before. I gave it another try and still no answer. [protected]. Only no matter how many times you call all you get is an answering machine. Also their email address is [protected]@momentumdirect.net, but don't expect to get an answer. Their website is www.momentumdirect.net. And their mailing address is:

Momentum Direct

So I had to close my bank account. And right before Christmas too. So beware and if you are having the same problem with this company then call your bank right away and file a forgery claim and they will block your account and you will have to open a new one. Also file as many complaints about this company that you can. We need to put a stop to this company.
