Momentum Direct is a scam!
Complaint Rating:  97 % with 156 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.

I am so upset about this company. I have called the number so many times and NEVER get an answer. I wish I would have seen all these comments before I got roped into this mess. I am over weight and I responded to the trial for 2-Day Slim Down to see what it was all about. I never received a confirmation email and I never received any trial product. I figured the transaction simply did not go through and didn't give it another thought until I was routinely checking my bank account online and saw that I was overdrawn. When I saw the check number I knew something was wrong because I remembered using that number for something totally different. That is when I began calling the company. Upon closely reviewing my transactions for the current statement I realized that the $58.93 that caused my account to be overdrawn was actually the second unauthorized amount they had withdrawn. They withdrew $49.95 approximately 7 days prior. In total this mess has caused me $150.00 in overdraft fees because of the snowball effect and the timing of my catching the charges. I WANT THIS COMPANY STOPPED!!! Let's do WHATEVER it takes to see that we recover not only our unauthorized charges and any bank fees charged but additional for the humiliation. I am very well known at my bank and keep my accounts in good standing - what an embarrassment to face them and say I've been scammed --- suckered --- naive --- gullible --- in an attempt to lose weight.

I read more of the comments posted here and wanted to say thank you to the person who posted a new number for contact. I called 281-356-9939 and spoke with DAVID BEESON. They have agreed to refund EVERYTHING... we'll see. They said there was a batch of orders that had been back ordered and should not have been billed to the customers... mine was one of them. They have promised to send me my refund expedited delivery.

Momentum direct negatived my bank account over 300 dollars. The same way the did to all of you. So we all need to file complaints to stop these people because this is sh*t.

I returned the product and am waiting for a refund and I asked to cancel the program.
255 days ago by Christina Johnson [send email]
I'm happy to say, I didn't have any problems with canceling. No withdrawns what so ever was made on my bank account, expect for the shipping & handling charges.

If the product isn't coming to you within 4 to 5 days. You should be calling to see where it is. Gee Wiz, their only in Texas doesn't take that long to get first class mail. I think that's the best thing to do. That way, that lets them know you haven't received it. Write down who your talking too, that seems to help.

I didn't receive my free trial product right away, seems like it took forever. But I was right on the phone asking if they mailed it out yet, because I haven't recieved it. Then I call to tell them I was sending the unused protion, that my doctor said I shouldn't take it. Never charge me a thing after that. Yeppie!!

You can't wait until the last min to call these people. Wondering where the product is, their assuming that you already received it. The people that answer's the phone, only can tell you what's on their computers. Customer Service and Shipping Department is two different things.

Get a Confirmation #, when you cancel their suppose to give you one.

Another thing to add is: I belong to a bunch of GPT site's so I know all to well about Trial Offers. As I have did over 50 of them and only had one problem with a Trial Offer, it was with another company.

Best thing to do is call the company before you do the offer to see expect what the trial offer is about. What are the Terms & Conditions of that Trial Offer. When will the product be shipped out? Will they be sending you a email when the product is shipped?

And when you fully understand the Terms & Condition then sign up for it. Never sign up for something that you don't totally understand. A smart consumer is a educated consumer.

I had the same thing to happen to me back in August I closed my account and did not reopen another one then today 12-27-07, I received the pills again, but, of course I have no account open, I guess they are trying to get me started again, I am mad, and I just chalk it up to a big mistake on me for not looking more on line before purchase.

Momentum Direct is a scam, I just check my bank account which I don't do very often unless I buy something. Well I never brought anything from this company. But I found 2 charges on my bank account both for $58.93. I sure didn't order anything on line and I sure in hell haven't received anything from them. Even my Bank Name is incorrect + My phone number. I did order from them over 6 months ago, but that account has long been cancel. What the hell is going on? I haven't order a darn thing since then online. They must keep your information so they can steal your money later.

Their freaken crocks, I call and now it said the office is closed until Jan. 2, 2008. Now I'm pissed. This is total a fraud, charges should and will be brought against this company.

I'm going to my bank on Tues, since the bank is closed. And close my account ASAP. This is totally BS.

None of the phone numbers work!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also, the whois information that network solutions have is:

David Beeson
12044 FM 2920
Tomball, TX 77377
US
(281)356-7213

You cannot even email him he has some sort of flipping email address protection. WHich means you need to go through some website called: http://www.emailaddressprotection.com to even email him. I had to close my checking account today and open up new ones. Addtionally my bank advised me to open a secondary free checking account for internet purchases only so that my primary checking account is not affected. I also filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau in Texas ...Their website address is: http://www.bbbhou.org/

I think if everyone files a report as well as contacts their attorney's generals office something will eventually be done. These people should not be allowed to operate on the internet.

I wish I had further researched this kind of Stuff. I was trying to make some easy money by taking surveys. Then to come to find out it's not just taking surveys you have to try products. You have to pay the shipping and guess who it was "Momentum Direct". I never received the product like they said they would send. So I decided to cancel, luckily I made the trial period. This was back in 11/12/07. I was told they would send me a refund check of $7.97 in 21 days. I haven't seen it yet. I called today on 1/3/07 to let them know I've not received it yet. These guys yoiu talk to never know what is going on they say "we're just cumstomer service. I finally I got the guy to tell me his name "Mack" he said I would get it in 2 weeks and that he would give it to the Accounting Dept. I told him I want to speak to the manager. He gave me the #281-356-9939 to call and all I got was the answering machine. Is there anyway or anything else I can do to get my money back? GW

I received a jar of the 2 Day Slim Down product (S/H $7.97). I was concerned because the instructions were only in very tiny print on the jar. No information on the product on the order sheet or pink sheet. I then found this site and read the complaints on this page. Very serious accusations. I phoned the number given, told the representative I did not want to be on an automatic billing plan, and he said I would not, but nothing was said on whether I would have to pay for this jar. Would appreciate any comments.

The company has done this to me as well. They keep trying to collect by drafting my account for $58.93 several times Which has caused my account to go into overdraft status. I order the product and cancelled as stated, but they still keep trying to collect not once but several times.
232 days ago by Maria Hammonds [send email]
Everything that happened to the others happened to me, I never received the product and cancelled, now they are taking 49.95 out of my account. Phone numbers do not work and no answere from email address. These people have to be stopped, I have 6 children to take care of and can not afford for someone unauthorized to take my money. I have to close my bank account and start all over, My husbands check is also direct deposited, this is not right and should be against the law.
231 days ago by Misty Causey [send email]
Similar problems.... after a month of not receiving the product, I call. They said they would have it out in 10 days. 3 1/2 weeks later, no product. My fiance calls, they tell him I cancelled the order. Funny - they sure didn't think so when the debited my account for the shipping costs, did they?? Now, 3 months later, I get another debit for $99.90 out of my account. ARE THESE PEOPLE STOPPABLE????? IF YOU HAVE ORDERED ANYTHING FROM THEM, GET A NOTE ON YOUR FILE WITH YOUR BANK NOT ALLOWING ANY DEBITS TO YOUR ACCOUNT FROM THESE PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Unauthorized charges to personal banking account.
This is Certified Mail

Attention: Momentum Direct
Sammy Rua
2-Day Slim Down
Dear Momentum Direct,
I am sending you this letter to let you know that you charged my account five times unauthorized charges for a product that I do not receive. I was checking my bank account and found a charge for the product itself for $49.00 and later started getting charges of $58.93 just about every week. Check number 2331 for $58.93 was NOT authorized, check number 2333 for $58.93 was NOT authorized, check number 2334 for $58.93 was NOT authorized, and check number 2335 for $58.93 was NOT authorized! I have filed charges against you through my bank and have also notified the Montgomery Sheriffs Department. If I do not receive my FULL refund of $235.72, I will turn this over to the FBI, Sheriffs Department, and BBB. I will also, be taking you to court to get my money back as well as damages. You have caused me grief and pain! The product did NOT work and this kind of thing should not happen to average everyday working Americans! You are scam artist and should not be allowed to do this ever again to any person. If I do not hear from you or see a refund with in two weeks, I will move forward with the actions I just stated.
Sincerely,
Brandy Scheinost
CC: Montgomery County Sheriffs Dept.

I had to send this certified letter to them and still heard nothing from them, I'm taking it to the FBI.
These people will have a special place in Hell when I am done with them!
