Momentum Direct is a scam!
Complaint Rating:  98 % with 160 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 too was taken from this company and I did not order anything. I just happen to notice that there were three withdrawals from my account from this company. Already I have had to close my account and open a new one. Thinking about a civil suit against the company to let them know this is not going to be allowed any more. Maybe it will also send a message to others trying this stuff. Anyone know of a good lawyer.

I totally agree. This is a scam.. my checking account is a mess because of the charge posted to my account. I tried calling the number 12813561400 and kept getting a recording. After reading these complaints I realized now I have to go close my own checking account. I wish I had known.

Altho they had taken 3 mos of orders out of my bank acct., I was able to speak to an actual person, I told him to cancel my acct. immediately, and to NOT send me any more products, since I have not ever rec'd the actual sample order.Today however, I rec'd a check in the mail for $217.00, which I will deposit into my acct. this evening, hopefully it will not bounce, Never- ever will I order anything that charge you and arm and a leg for a sample order, and then not receive it...

I ordered the 2-day Slim Down on 12-17-07. I got the product a month later. I also called the # listed and just got a recording that played over and over and over! I had to hang up and try the # again. Finally i got a live person, gave him my order # and he assured me that i will not be charged in the future by this company. He said his name was Allen Wilks. Also said he did not have a customer service #. I will be talking w/ my bank to check on any future transactions coming from this company. Wish me luck!

Same deal here. I ordered the 2 day slim doen a couple of months ago but cancelled it in the same day when I realized they over charged me initially for it. I e-mailed them and called. I finally got a hold of a man who could hardly speak english and he assured me I would not be charged. Well I found this complaint board and decided to put a stop payment on the check. Well they tried to cash it and the stop payment stopped it. Then I got an e-mail saying my account was cancelled and no further charges would go on my account. Well 3 days ago they put a charge for 150.00 on my account. Well I filed an affidavit with my bank and will get the money back. They had changed the number on my check and withdrew the money. I cancelled my checking account and opened another one just to be safe. I swear these people need to go down before anyone else has to put up with this.

I too ordered the 2-Day Slim down diet supplement on 12/9/2007. I was promptly charged the 7.97 shipping and handling but never received the free sample. On January 30, 2008 my account was charged $49.95 by Momentum Direct. I called the number that was listed on the memo line of the check (281-356-1400)and spoke to someone with a very thick accent who said his name was Nick Wilson. Nick said he would cancel my account, refund me the 49.95 by sending me a check, gave me a cancellation number and assured me there would be no further charges on my bank account. Today, February 5, 2008, I checked my bank account and they have charged me $58.93. So again, I call the same number and get one Shawn Coddle on the phone. Shawn shows a record of me calling just a few days ago to cancel and gave me the reason I was charged again was because I was being prebilled for the next months shipment. That is was already in processed before I cancelled. So anyway, he says I should receive a check in the mail within 14 days with a refund of $108.89. I would really hate to have to close my bank account after having it for 13 years. But at the rate this is going, it seems I might have to close it just to get the charges to stop.

I had ordered 2days2 slimdown and I didn't like the product. I tried my best to get in touch with Momentum Direct. None of the numbers worked and neither did their e-mail address. So I notice the complaint board and read every last one!!! Then I looked them up with the Better Business Bureau and saw that Momentum Direct had 400 and something complaints. I sent the product back, went to the bank and close the account that I did a check on- line with. And put my money monies in a new account. As soon as they received my returned product. They tried get $49.95 with un authorized check, check on the account that was zero. That cost me $27.00 for insufficient funds. I called bank and told them to just to totally close out that account. An hour later I could see where they tried to get $59.95. Luckily I was talking with my credit union advisor at that time and she went on to totally close out that account. I thank God for this complaint board before Momentum Direct was able to cost me more than$27.00!

Oh snap!!! I cant believe this complaint board is been going on for over a year and this people is still on business...I did it too, ordered the 2 day slim thing...now what??? I got the bottle though, I have not tried it yet...I guess I better go ahead and change mky bank account...FYI, if you only change the account nimber it will stop charges on your account, all of them and also will keep your seniority at the bank...dang it!!! I just can't believe I was so naive!!

I wish I would have done my research before I ordered my "free" trial from this SCAM of a company. I just spent the afternoon on the phone with my bank trying to get all the charges taken care of. What a Rip-Off! DO NOT ORDER FROM MOMENTUM DIRECT - IT'S A SCAM!!!!!!!

I am reading all these complaints now ( i wish i wouldv'e read them before I ordered to). I never recieved my trail but they sure charged me. It's been 3 wks and nothing. I have called and called them to only listen to (thank you for calling momentum direct a rep. will be with you shortly.) I have waited upwards of 45 mins. On my 15th call I finally got a rep. I could barely understand and I think he said he canceled my order and will return my shipping fee. Hopefully they will. Why don't we bring class action law suit. These people are scam artist.

The same thing has just happened to me. I am in the process of closing my account and changing all my information today. This company needs to be out of business. They are need to be reported to the BBB. They have taken over $100 from my account. I have been calling all day trying to contact the accounting department but it continues to go straight to voicemail. This is absurd.

Back in November, I started to order a diet pill for free trial. When I learned that after the free trial, it would be 49.95, I backed out. I didn't even finish. Two weeks later, 49.95 was taken out of my account. I called immediatly and they said they cancelled my account. Two, three weeks later, nothing. I have called them several times over the last 2 months and their answer is the same. They repeatedly tell me they will tell the accounting department, and then they gave me an email address to monitor my refund.
support@momentumdirect.net. It does not work. It has been 3 months and I have no product, and am out 49.95. #$%^&*##

I ordered a free sample from momentum direct for $7.49 for shipping. Then they started taking money from my account. Every month for product that i did not receive. I called and got a cancellation mumber. They never returned my money. Today five months later i get a package from them and they charged my account. How can we stop these people.

I have experienced the same with the company. They took out the 15.94 from my account electronically and then they kept charging me more and more. They was making up false check numbers. Then less than a week later they took 99.90 and I called and they said it must have been some mistake and then two weeks later took out 117.86, they just couldn't understand that I shouldn't have to wait two weeks to get it back when they take it for no reason. They kept telling me to send the product back and I did, I expressed it to them, then they said they didn't receive it. I even had the confirmation number from the post office. They kept telling my husband they had no management on the floor and gave us some phony number to call that no one ever picked up on. I so want the 217 dollars back into my account, but it won't happen. I had to change accounts as well...

After reading all of these similar complaints I guess I too was scammed. I got the product, cancelled it because it wasn't for me, was charged $58.93 anyway. The company did not have my authorization. I got a copy of the check and called the phone number for the company. This was Jan 11th. They told me they would refund me. They charged me another 58.93 in the meantime. I called again and again and again sometimes onlt to wait on the phone for half an hour. I just talked to someone on 3/5. He told me the same thing that the others have told me. That I would receive a refund check for 117.86 by the end of the week. I told him I wanted an e-mail confirmation to show my attorney and he told me that I would get one in 48 hrs. I didn't get anything! After reading these complaints, I am going tomorrow to close my account out and I am going to my local police station for advice on how to pursue this. I will get my money back somehow. BEWARE OF THIS COMPANY!!!

This company is a total fraud. I ordered the product called 2 day-slim down, but all it did was to slim down my bank account. These people charged me $117.86 for something i never received, and when i called up on their customer care service, all i got was a fake promise of refund. Today i see that an another check of the same amount was charged on me again.
Now this is really getting on my nerves, I WANT MY MONEY BACK YOU FILTHY FRAUDS!!!!

I also had funds debited from my account, 58.93 to be exact! Not only could they not find my transaction they sent me to another site, which had nothing to do with them. Someone needs to stop them before they can hurt anyone else!!
