Momentum Direct is a scam!
Complaint Rating:  97 % with 159 votes
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 (281) 356-1400. The phone would ring twice then disconnect. I tried to call several times but still the same thing. Then today I had another electronic check 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. I did not authorize any such payment 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 a women answered. I told her my problem and she gave me another number to call (281)356-9939. Only no matter how many times you call all you get is an answering machine. I then tried to call the other number back to talk to that women again but the number no longer worked and all I got was a disconnected tone. Also their email address is home@momentumdirect.net, but don't expect to get an answer. Their website is www.momentumdirect.net. And their mailing address is:

Momentum Direct
1010 South Magnolia Boulevard
Magnolia, TX 77355

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 you 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.

Okay, so I'm going after these little trolls in a way that most have not thought of... I'm going to try to get their websites shut down. As a web master, I was easily able to track down who hosts their sites... it's a simple solution... no website, no scam!

Any website domain name registrar (the ones who sold them the names like momentumdirect.net, 20minutefacelift.com, etc. have policies that they won't use the domain for fraudulent activity.) Same with the companies who actually HOST their websites (the place where their files and pictures and graphics are actually stored online to be viewed by unsuspecting people like all of us, those who end up on the site to get set up for ripoffs.)
Again, do the math... no website, no innocent people to attack.

Bank of America (my bank) has received MANY, MANY complaints against them but they CANNOT block a company and they can hit you over and over again by simply changing the amount of the check... the creeps at Momentum Direct are sophisticated and savvy and think they can keep getting away with their scam because they have been doing so for YEARS.

Fact is folks, the FBI doesn't have the money or manpower to track and arrest baby rapers and online stalkers of children which means they don't have the resources to stop the thousands upon thousands of little ripoff scam artists like Momentum Direct.

If you really care about stopping them, join me in sending an email to Cedant, the company who HOSTS their site:
abuse@cedant.com and detail in your email what they did to you.

THEN, if you're really motivated by being ripped off and having these little trolls cause so much havoc in your life and your bank account, send a letter to the registrar of momentumdirect.net (the people who sold them that domain name) detailing what was done to you:
TierraNet
P.O. BOX 502010
San Diego, CA 92150-2010

If enough complaints are received, they WILL have their websites shut down and it's a heck of a lot quicker than slogging through overworked, underfunded and understaffed agencies like the FBI, the Texas Attorney General and the BBB! DO file complaints with them as well though because squeaky wheels do eventually get greased and the sheer number of complaints will most likely lead to arrest and conviction... do your part to stop these predators and help keep other people from being defrauded as well!

My complaint is the same as everyone else. Account debit $58.98 never received product. I call the customer service number and I did speak to a male with a very strong accent. I told him of the debit on my account and that I had not received anything and I wanted to cancel. He canceled me, at least that what he said, but before I was able to discuss the debit and a refund, I was disconnected. I have tried several time and the same thing is going on. No ring, disconnect. I have a fax number as yet I don't know if it is good, I sure it's not. But I will be notifying my bank to put a stop on all debits to this company. RIP OFF'S!

Just received a package wanted to start billing me in 2 weeks $50 for a product I never ordered. Information was not correct on the order form there was another tel number I called it and the woman who answered had the same problem. She returned her free trial. I refuse I never ordered this.

How do these people continue to operate?

What can be done.

I am getting ripped off from this company. I wish they would stop doing this.
343 days ago by Lareaca Lewis [send email]
This company has to be stopped, there has to be a lawyer out there working on this or something like it that can help. I also never received the product and they have now charged my account in amounts of 49.95 four times and 58.93 four times, and of course every time there is a lovely over draft fee that comes along with it. I only authorized the payment for shipping and handling and did it with this account because I hardly use it and keep low funds in it because I have moved to another state. But now I am going to have to fight this and close the account for which is something that I didn't want to do. I am so pissed off and tired of being victimized.

They took out $108 out of my account, and I overdrafted!

I cam back and fought, After reading these complaints, I decided they were not going to help me. I went to the BBB (Better Business Bureau) and I complained!!! Exactly ONE week later, I got a check in the mail for $108 from Momentum Direct!!

PLEASE GO TO THE BBB FOR A FULL REFUND OF YOUR MONEY!

I never even heard of this company and never used any of their products. I just got drafted for 49.95 in my account for something that I have no clue what it is! I called the number over and over but got nothing! So I had to close my account and open another one. Thank God my bank was so easy and great to work with- so the transition was smooth- but this really is a pain! I hope this company gets busted!

Watch out. Now they are sending checks that are supposedly going to cover the $46,000 that my husband won. Of course, you need to call first and deposit the check so they can get your account number. Sounds like they are moving into the big time. The mailing is coming out of Canada which I assume makes it harder to press charges against the company with the Magnolia, TX address on the check.

Check this out. I received a check from Momentum today in the amount of $176.90. My account was debited $58.98. I was really surprised. I did use that fax number 1 281-356-1405. I explained my situation and asked for a refund. Like I said I just got this check today I don't know if it is any good, but we'll see. I sent the fax on the 2nd of Nov. and got a check today. So try this number and see what happens. Good luck!

I ordered a 2-week free trial and paid $ 6.92 for S/H charges for taboodia. They hit my checking account on 10/10/07 for $ 49.95 and again on 10/17/07 for $58.93. I have to go to my bank and see what I can do to stop this from reoccurring. Don't order anything from these people. They have other diet products saying FREE TRIAL, and it's not!

How can these people keep on doing this. Was so angry. I sent back their stupid product like they told me to and said I would get a refund check in the mail and that I would have to wait 3 weeks, I was like what??? You guys took the money out of my account you can put it back in my account , and they told me no they can't do that, and I was like what ever, this company have some real stupid a@@ people don't know who their f***ing with. I told them I am file a police report on them and he got all quiet and said I'll will receive a refund in the mail, I got tired of arguing with him this conversation isn't getting us no where. I would love to see these scammer go to jail for what they are doing to us. Please I need some advise so I can take legal action!!!

I had been seeing an amount of $58.93 being put through my account repeatedly and finally got a hold of my bank to find out what this amount was for.

I don't every remember completing an order for what ever product this was attached to.

I have had to put a freeze on this account to stop any further activity... until the "fraud" unit at my bank completes this investigation.

This is incredible... I had no idea, they have hit my account at least 3 separate occasions that got payments out. So that estimates to 180.00 roughly, hopefully the bank will put some of it back...

Screw Momentum Direct!!!

I am in the same boat as it turns out unfortunately. I wished I had found this site before I ordered the SUPPOSEDLY 14-day TRIAL, which I never received. I have since been billed @X's maybe more. I too have tried calling, emailing and US mail with no response. SO, after reviewing my bank statement and finding another UNAUTHORIZED withdrawals from this company, I AM going to the bank first thing Monday morning and do what I have to do, either cancel my account or put a stop payment to this company - whichever I can do. NOW, with that said, I live here in Texas. I plan on finding the physical location of this so called company and taking a drive. I will let you know the outcome.

I never even heard of the company and they started taking money out of my account somehow and keep doing so.

All of the above happened to me also!! I am SO upset! I work in a bank and should have been able to smell a scam right away. I have lost 108.00 plus shipping from having to return the product form these stupid people. I don't money to just throw away like that! There needs to be something done about this place. I am getting ready to file a complaint with BBB!!!
317 days ago by Kim Je [send email]
The same thing happened to me! That was crap... and when you call for help you can't understand the reps!!!

BUL****T!

GUYS IF YOU WANT YOUR MONEY BACK DO NOT CALL THEM JUST go to www.momentumhelp.com and send in a ticket! I got my money back after I sent one in, for the full amount including the "free" trial amount and the almost $100 they took from my account afterwards. It worked for me, try it!

Don't waste your time calling, no one picks up or they don't help at all.

Momentum Direct took money from my account without
authorization. They took 58.93 on 10/29 and then they took another 58.93 on 11/23. It is not fair because I never
receive anything from them. They have to stop stealing
money from people like that.they have to stop going in
people bank account without authorization.

BIG FUCKING SCAM!!! Don't make the same mistake I did! I got the product but they took out $167 dollars from my account before I noticed! I had to close my account and open a new one!
311 days ago by Chris M Johnson [send email]
Yes. I too need to be added to the list of suckers that got screwed over by this company. I never received anything from them after paying the shipping charges and they have cleaned out my account since then. I don't know what to do about this either. I was injured at work and when things didn't heal as expected I was scheduled for reconstructive surgery requiring 12 weeks recovery minimum I wound up getting fired over it. I have been unable to work since July of this year. Thanks to this company it's very likely I could lose my house since I now have no funds to make my 12 hundred dollar mortgage payments alone, not to mention utilities and simple basic living expenses. I am all alone,without a job, with noone to ask for help. Can't something be done about these dispicable people?????
