Leptovox Reviews - Leptovox scammed me!

Leptovox

Leptovox scammed me!
Complaint Rating:  87 % with 118 votes
The title on Seller's ad on e-Bay listing says: “Lose 50 pounds in 2 weeks with Leptovox!" The ad claims: “10 Superfoods to clear your acne and eliminate wrinkles while all the weight rolls off of you 2 weeks or Your Money Back-GUARANTEED!" “Everyone is talking about Leptovox and I mean everyone who tried it LOVED it! EVERYONE could feel it working in seconds. Permanent weight loss too. “…You Get All Your Money Back NO QUESTIONS ASKED If you are not completely satisfied!" Highlighted in yellow: “Zero Risk, Lifetime Money Back Guarantee on the Miracle Diet Product". Highlighted in blue: “Place Your 100% Risk Free Order or you can Bid NOW". “Buy it NOW… Risk FREE".

I bought 4 bottles after being lured by the ad. The product has done ABSOLUTELY NOTHING but make me sick to my stomach and made my skin feels like I have been scrubbed with sand from beach.

After 2 weeks of no promised positive results I asked for a full refund. I emailed them and the response I got back was that "I should stop eating hamburgers and stay out of the sun.." An absolutely disgraceful response. Like it's my fault!! When I mentioned the guarantee I was told that because I wasn't set up on the autoship program I didn't qualify. They refused to give me back my money and stand by the guarantee on the product.

The Leptovox company engages in deceptive, dishonest and misleading advertising on their eBay auction site. The product DOESN'T work and I will never use it again. I wish I had stuck with Proactol because I had much better success with it. The Proactol product was 100% better than the Leptovox and they stand by their 100% Unconditional Lifetime Money Back Guarantee. I'm surprised e-Bay would allow these practices.

Is Leptovox The Anti-Body Fat, Anti-Acne, and Anti-Wrinkle Breakthrough?

I've received a "zillion" e-mails recently from visitors all wondering if Leptovox works as described. One visitor said the sales pitch she received said Leptovox could help shed "40 pounds in 30 days."

This of course, is a totally bogus claim. The only way to lose 40 lbs. in 30 days is to have liposuction. I'm serious.

On an even more serious note, I would tread very, very carefully if you are considering the purchase of Leptovox. There are a LOT of reasons why. Let me explain...

First of all, this product appears to be almost completely identical to the product Lipovox (reviewed here). As far as I can tell from reviewing the two separate product web sites, the formulations vary by only a single ingredient. Lipovox contains salmon oil powder, and Leptovox contains idebenone. Other than that, the ingredient profile is the same.

At first, I thought Leptovox was a copycat product of Lipovox (or vice versa). However, I'm beginning to wonder if Leptovox is being sold by the same people who are selling Lipovox. Why do I have that impression?

This glowing "review" of Leptovox for example, is not posted by an unbiased, enthusiastic user, but by the main eBay seller of Lipovox. It is the same retailer who I have received "not too glowing" reports about his/her customer service record (you can read visitor feedback on Lipovox here!). Of course neither web site posts real contact and company information, so its impossible who is selling it, from where (and that's never a good sign. Professional, ethical companies interested in building their brand are always forthright about who they are).

From what I've seen, the only reason to sell the exact same product under different names is to "screw" your customer. And it's not the first time I've seen this done.

Secondly, this product appears to be sold only on eBay and direct via the product's Web site. Now don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with this, except that I can't remember the last time I encountered a trusted brand name retailer who only used eBay and the Internet as a marketing medium.

In my experience, retailers who gravitate to these marketing mediums do so to avoid accountability to consumers and avoid the problems associated with marketing a product with grossly exaggerated claims through retail outlets (retailers would be inundated with product returns, and would then be looking to the creators of the product to refund their investment). It's also a fantastic way for a retailer to avoid the wrath of the Federal Trade Commission -- and I can guarantee you that if either one of these products had a large enough profile, the FTC would squash them like a couple of bugs.

Net marketing also allows "fly-by-night" companies access to a large marketplace they could not access otherwise. Sad to say, but the 'Net is a perfect place for unscrupulous marketers to flourish.

Third, the claims made by the retailers of this product are ridiculous, outrageous, and not backed by any credible scientific study of any sort. The "anti wrinkle" anti-obesity" and "anti-acne" claims do not have any basis in fact. While antioxidants do neutralize free radicals that are responsible for aging process, their effects are subtle and do not lead to quick and dramatic changes in appearance. Heck if that were the case, even a $4 bottle of vitamin C sold at your local grocery store could qualify as a "youth tonic."

Both the Lipovox and the Leptovox sales pages reference the work of Dr. Perricone, and his appearance on the Oprah show in an attempt to add credibility to their claims.

There are two issues with this...

Neither Dr. Perricome or Oprah have anything to do with either of these products, and certainly do not endorse them.

Secondly, Dr. Perricone is hardly an impartial spokesman on the supposed powers of these amazing super foods. After all, Dr. Perricone has a vested interest in selling his high priced products on his NVPerriconeMD web site. And, according to Wikipedia...

"... critics accuse him of making outlandish, unrealistic promises in order to sell books and products. His claims, they say, are backed by very little scientific research, and any research he has done himself has never been published in medical journals, where it would be subject to scrupulous review."

While no one can argue that nutrient-dense, anti-oxidant superfoods will offer value -- especially to people who adopt a sensible diet and lifestyle in addition to taking these pills -- just how much, and how they manifest themselves, is not something that has been demonstrated conclusively by any credible scientific studies.

And just how much benefit is offered by products of indeterminate strength and potency like Leptovox or Lipovox is certainly a matter of serious debate.

In the end the bottom line is simple...

I'm not bashing super foods or antioxidants. I have no doubt that if you incorporate these into your diet -- forgoing "less beneficial" eating habits -- you will experience some benefits. But from a supplement produced by an unknown company (one that does not post any company data or contact information on the web site) and sold only in a market that breeds unscrupulous behavior? A company that doesn't even have a label illustration that matches the listed ingredients?

Forget it.

In the end it's very simple... the benefits of Leptovox are grossly exaggerated, ridiculous, have not a single iota of proof to validate them, and frankly, are insulting to you the consumer.
 668 days ago by Paul Crane  [send email] 0 Votes
I'll get straight to the point:

1. The label: I have this funny feeling that I got cheated out of this product, because the labelling is mediocre. The direction of use is vague, and the nutrional information - sucks! The distributor or manufactures' address is not available.

Oh PLUS: There's a statement that says: "This statement has not been evaluated by the Food and drug Administration... " That scared me!

2. Weight: I don't feel like i've lost weight so far. Its been 9 days...but i'll wait till I finish the bottle then compare.

3. Acne: Still got it, Don't know what everyone's talking about.

4. Side effects: Everytime I take them, nausea takes over, and my head starts aching. Can't lift stuff without my back giving out (never experienced that until I started taking it)

Honestly I had high hopes for Lipovox, and right now am not very confident about the product. Once I complete one bottle, I'll give my full report (I'll write to the manufacturers, then post my comments and their response here)

All I can say, I guess its not 100% effective, I must be the statistic that it might not work for.

Hi. First I would like to ask an important question after reading the above comments. Is Orovo, Lipovox, and Leptovox really the same product? This may sound like a crazy question, but I had no idea. I honestly tried to do research regarding Orovo and came across this website. I would like to say that I've tried several diets and one had been successful for a little while (Phentremine). I stopped taking them but I continued to exercise daily. I gained my weight back and tried using Phentremine again 5 months later and didn't lose but 3 pounds in 3 months. I exercise 5 days a week (treadmill and riding a bike) and I also eat as healthy as possible. This was heartbreaking so I started looking for a cleanser. I read about Orovo and the fact that it's a detoxing pill made me want to try it. I personally feel like I haven't lost weight because my body is filled with toxins and my metabolism is low. Some people probably didn't lose weight because they didn't or don't have much toxin or body fat to begin with. I'm not sure but this is merely an opinion. I feel good about this product and I don't want to be discouraged and not finish the pills. I started taking them today and I'm anxious to find out what will happen when I finish the bottle. I will report back when I'm done. Thanks.

Great story, you really put a lot of effort into it. C+

Yes, they're all the same. It's a big scam being uncovered on the internetweb.comnet. Read the full story on my website wwwULTIMATEFATBURNER.com.

You think taking Orovo is going to DETOXIFY you?

Why don't you buy one of those COLON CLEANSE systems too - those pictures of people scooping shit out of their toilet is amazing.

What I want to know is: WHERE DO I BUY THOSE STICKS TO PLUCK MY SHIT OUT OF THE TOILET?????

Repeat Miracleburn, Orexis, and Belleplex are scam products. Buy Orovo it's the #1 weight loss product in America. The other competitors products are cheap filler material hoodia-nothing products and skin peeling nonsense, steer clear of cheap imitations.

Hello, My name is Paul Crane

Lean System 7 is the only product that works and it is sold exclusively at www.ultimatefatburner.com

Orovo is a Multi-Level Marketing (pyramid) scheme... nobody on their system makes any real money except for the people at the top... i.e. the owners of the company.

You will not detoxify with Orovo
You will not lose weight with Orovo
You will not look better with Orovo

Leptovox was discovered by a college student while watching oprah

Lipovox was discovered by the company president while watching oprah

Orovo was discovered by a meth-head while watching oprah

Wonderful stories, except that they're all made up.

Save yourself some money and don't buy this Junk:

Orovo
Leptovox
Lipovox
Lipotrox
Leptotrox
Liporovo
Fenphedra
Nuphedragen

They make a new product out of rat droppings and newspaper shredding every week.

Once people catch on - they put out a product with a new name.

What product will they put out next week?

YOU CAN CALL THEM TO FIND OUT, BUT THEY ONLY HAVE VOICEMAIL...... THE TRUE SIGN OF A "FLY BY NIGHT" COMPANY

DONT BUY OROVO

DONT BUY LEPTOVOX

DONT BUY LIPOVOX

DONT BUY LIPOTROX

DONT BUY NUPHEDRAGEN

DONT BUY EPHEDRASIL

From the LEPTOVOX website:

While watching the OPRAH show on "How to Look 10 Year's Younger in 10 Days!" Oprah Winfrey's skin care guru Dr. Perricone revealed 10 "Super Foods" that if eaten will take 10 years off the appearance of your skin in only 10 Days.

Intrigued by the promise, the Leptovox inventor took the challenge and ate the 10 Super Foods daily for 10 consecutive days.

--------------

From the LIPOVOX website:

Two years ago I was a college student living in Oahu, Hawaii. I'd go to school in the mornings and head off to the beach and surf all day. It was a blast! The best time of my life. But it was wreaking havoc on my skin! I was only in my early twenties and had the skin of someone double my age.

One day while watching TV, I came across "Oprah" and the title of the show was on how to look "10 Years Younger in 10 Days". I watched. Oprach interviewed a world-reknown skin care doctor and he revealed his "Secret" to looking 10 years younger in 10 days. It wasn't a magical lotion or cream, but rather 10 SUPER FOODS that fight wrinkles internally

--------------

From the OROVO website:

OROVO was created accidentally. While watching the “OPRAH” show on how to look “10 Years Younger in 10 Days” a world renowned Dermatologist recommended 10 “SuperFoods” that if eaten every day will help you look 10 Years younger in Only 10 Days. The wife of Orovo's CEO took the 10 Day challenge and had mixed results. She did not look 10 years younger as had been promised BUT she Lost 10 pounds of body fat and had completely gotten rid of her Adult Acne without even Trying!

SAVE YOUR MONEY PEOPLE - IT IS A SCAM.

I just received the bottle today.(Leptovox) .. Reviewing the supplement facts, it doesn't show the % daily value or the barley,cayenne,buckwheat,etc..

Can someone let me know if your bottle shows the daily value of the 10 superfoods?!
 646 days ago by Garret Chumpernickle  [send email] 0 Votes
Mine does not have the % values, either.... and from reading the posts on this website, I don't think there are actually any superfoods in these pills.

Does the inside of your bottle smell absolutely horrible?

I'm scared to take these pills, and I want to send them back for a refund but their voicemail is full..... damn it

It seems as though the informant is making a horrible sales pitch for Proactol. I came to this conclusion after reading the last paragraph, which states:

"Proactol product was 100% better than the Leptovox and they stand by their 100% Unconditional Lifetime Money Back Guarantee."

If the product actually works, why would a customer need to return the product and how would she know that Proactol stands behind their money back guarantee. Either this person in an employee of the company that makes Proactol, or they're a dishonest person that uses a product and returns it even if it works.

As for Leptovox, I didn't like it at all, but the company gave me a refund about a week after I returned the product. In fact, I was so pleased with the customer service, I decided to try another product, Fenphedra (It may not be spelled like that), and I've lost 10 lbs with two bottles. I didn't lose as much weight as I had hoped, but I'm still very pleased with the product. If there is one thing I've learned form my years of dieting, it's that there is no magic pill that works for everyone. Each person's body responds differently to what it is given. You just have to keep trying different products.

this is fake. no established company would say "stop eating hamburgers and stay out of the sun" thats funny. but the thing that blows is that leptovox says satisfaction guarantee but thay only accept unopened bottle. what if you only got one bottle and you were unsatisfied with it?
