Vitamin Scam

[CARMA]

I know this is a forum for mostly possitive stuff, but I can't let you get scammed too! I don't know that I can say the name but apparently they have 12 main ingredients. I found them through a sponsored offer for some gift card. After being scammed I checked them out on the BBB (I can't believe I didn't do it before.) They scored a F and had neumerous bad reports. BUYER BEWARE!

Hi, it is great that you are warning us, but I would think it is only helpful if you do say the name. I know I would like to know who you are talking about since I use a lot of vitamins. Please let us know.

I agree. If we don't know the name of the site, we won't know which one to stay away from! Appreciate the info!!

The reason I didn't come right out and name them, and believe me I wanted to, is because I don't know the legalities of revealing the name. I tried to give you a huge hint when I said "they apparently have 12 MAIN INGREDIENTS." 12 is the start of the name. When you see it I promice you'll know. Does this help? I hope so.

I wasn't joining to join this forum but I needed to respond to the messages left. I have had No problems with the vitamin company you are talking about. I and my husband have been taking them for over 4 months and not once had a problem the company didn't correct on the spot. It's possible you did and the company didn't handle it right or correctly. But we are going to continue to buy our vitamins from them. Thanks for letting me respond.

I'm very glad you had a good experience. But if you don't believe me check the BBB for ULTAMATE NUTRACEUTICALS zip 90009. This is the manufacturer. Just check their rep. and previous long list of unsatisfactory reports. My goal isn't to bash this company. My goal is to share my experience and what I've learned. I'm not trying to be hateful, I would just hate for someone to go through what I've been through. I'm hoping I can encourage everyone not to purchase ANYTHING without checking out the company!

I just found this to back you up, Carma.

It seems pretty obvious to me that there's a problem with this company. It's wonderful if there are satisfied customers, but just from that one site there seem to be a whole lot who aren't. By the way, I had no idea what vitamins you meant, even with your clues! LOL I've never seen the infomercial nor anything else about them!

I have never heard of this company but do appreciate the heads up. but I only buy vitamins etc... from a local store like walgreens,gnc,walmart

[L711inda]

I do, too. I buy the store brands - mostly at WalMart. My blood tests always come back fine - I have the proper levels of vitamins and minerals so I figure I'm doing okay with those.

First thanks so much for taking your time to look it up and back me up L711inda.
Next thing is I am dying to tell the name of the company. Does anyone know if I'll get in trouble? I've got facts to back up everything I've said so I don't understand how it could be slander, but maybe something else.
Also the vitamins I'm talking about are mostly on the sponsored items on web sites.
Did you know if you soak a vitamin in vinegar you can tell if it's being absorbed or eliminated (nicest word I could think of.) Soak it for 30 minutes and if it hasn't dissolved it's no good.

Everyone who reads this be sure to read my thread( or whatever the heck you call it) on "FREE ACIDOPHILUS PEARLS" It's under health and beauty. If nothing else it's uplifting.
Thanks

All anybody has to do is click on the link I put in my post, Carma, and they'll know right away what the company name is. But you don't have to worry about slander. It's not being aimed against a person but a company, and heaven only knows how much stuff is said against many companies out there! That's why the Better Business Bureau is in existence! So there's nothing wrong with saying the name of the company.

[Blondhorsecrazy]

Wow! Thanks for the heads up on that!!:eek:

Hi, I am not sure what company you are referring. How can you get into trouble for saying "I dont like_____" We say these types of things on a daily basis weather we realize it or not. You can share your expierence you had witht hem becasue that is the truth of the matter. It is not like you are saying "they put dog poop in thier vitamines" which (as far as I know) would be an out and out lie. So as far as fear of getting into some legal trouble for say company XYZ has bad BBB reports is someting you dont have to worry about. Heck I will start by saying I dont like SEcret deodoratnt, the stuff gives me a rash. I prefer Dove. I know not the vitamin topic but just to show you cant get into any trouble for something like that. Word of mouth goes both ways. If they dont want bad reviews they should do right by ALL customers not just a select few. I for one am thankful for people posting expierences good or bad on companies and that is the pointof places like this and the BBB. Gives consumers the information they need to make informed choices. After all it boiles down to just that "choices".

I hope this eases your mind a bit.

Great advice from you and all. I really appreciate it. By the wy did I mention that I really have bad feelings and had bad elxperiences with the 12-IN-One softgel multivitamin company! Hope no one else does!
Thanks everyone!

The word is out about who the vitamine company is. I put the name in last reply to thread.
I am so serious, if you have stomach problems PLEASE read my post on free trial of Acidopholis Pearls! It really works!
