Momentum Direct is a scam!
Complaint Rating:  97 % with 154 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 agree with everything said they are a rip off company. I never authorized any funds out of my account.

This Company is a SERIOUS RIP OFF!!! I replied after a week of having the product that it wasn't for me at all and I am still getting money taken out of my account for it!!

I tried calling the number they gave - no answer!So I tried the email address - same. I had 2 withdrawals from my account in 3 days , of which Momentum Direct had no permission. They used consecutive numbers after the check that I gave them for the shipping on the first order. What a ripoff!

They took money out of my account, i did not authorize it, i started to order the product, but i changed my mind, and they still took out the shipping and handling charge, so i got a 25.00 over draft charge.

I really do not appreciate this!!!

Total scam-funds debited 3 times unauthorized. Phone number gives recorded "this # is unavailable".
Had debits two days in a row, one for 49.95 and another for 58.93. I am leaving on a cross country
trip and do not have time to change checking account.

Any suggestions? This company needs to be prosecuted ASAP.

The exact same thing happened to me. 3 days apart i got 2 unauthorized debits, one for 49.95 and one for 58.93. Is there any way we can get this info to a prosecution company? I want them to rot in jail for stealing my, and all of your, cash.

home@momentumdirect.net doesn't work. I found that they had another email address, support@momentumdirect.net. Apparently, the person's been answering me and saying that he is going to refund me more money than he took out of my account and cancel it. I'm going to see if he's telling the truth sooner or later, but I'm going along with it now...I guess threatening him with FBI charges (Which I filed, anyway.), AND taking a transaction from a minor got him to shape up. I hope he pulls through, and I hope that you all get your money back! Remember, the right email address is support@momentumdirect.net. I should have figured that was it, but meh, I don't really know anything, do I? Anyway, as I have said, best of luck!

Total scam-funds debited 4 times unauthorized. Phone number gives recorded "this # is unavailable". Had debits two days in a row, one for 49.95 and another for 117. We need to get a case against them and sue them.

I luckily found these complaints BEFORE they could debit my account, and I placed a STOP PAYMENT for Momentum Direct on my account on Thursday and sure enough, exactly 14 days after I ordered that worthless product, a debit for $99.90 came out of my account on Friday!! I mailed the product back and e-mailed them to cancel, which sent a return e-mail that my account was closed, but I still did not trust they would not take $ from my account. I am pretty sure I am covered though because the bank said the stop payment is good for 6 months, so I will not have to stress and wait for a refund that is sure not to come. I would recommend using stop payments... it cost me $30, but that is how much the overdraft fee would have cost me if it had come through! Good luck to all of you, this is just a horrible group!!

Same here lucky for me I typed the wrong account number in and they turned me over to a credit collection company saying I owe them 79.95 that's 49.95 for the product I had not even received yet when they tried to take that money out and 30.00 bad check fee, well they can kiss it I'm not paying a dime and I hope they don't figure out my right account number Scammers!!! UGH!!! My bank said the best thing to do is cancel your account if this happens to you and never, ever give your account number and routing number online because a dishonest company can use it over and over again always use your debit card or credit card. Lord I hope I don't have to cancel my account my husband will have a cow... LOL I do know my bank said you can stop payment on the check number and the company or the amount 49.95 but if they use another check number or 49.96 it will go through, but she said if one does go through my account I can dispute it for 25.00 so this totally sux... playing the waiting game to get screwed. I called 281-356-9939 and spoke to Kasey who reassured me she would tell this collection company I've sent the product back and not to put my name on the bad check writer's database etc... like I believe that after reading all of this good grief.

I sent a letter to Cyber Collect today disputing the charges from Momentum Direct, and I also sent a fax to Momentum Direct telling them to cancel my account and quit trying to make unauthorized withdraws from my account or I would take legal action. Everyone keep your paper trail I have emails, letters, phone calls, fax receipts, mail receipts everything I hope we get all this resolved soon this company needs to pay big time. Can anyone say class action.

I too was a victim of Momentum Direct's scam to rip people off. I was trying to log on to the website provided with the diet pills, but there was no such address. I found this complaint board and numerous others about this company and I got sick to my stomach. After checking my bank account, sure enough $49.95 was taken out of my account. I immediately called my bank and filed a forgery claim. They put a block on my account and I opened a new one. This sucks because my husband and I have direct deposit and it's a pain to have to change accounts. I was fortunate though to catch it in the beginning. I also sent Momentum Direct an email which I called them fraudulent bastards! Thank you all for posting your complaints or else I would have been an unsuspecting victim being drained of all my money.

I got a letter today from Cyber Collect who was trying to collect money for Momentum Direct for pills I had already returned with a return receipt, well I faxed Cyber Collect and mailed them a certified letter explaining to them what a fraud and scam this company Momentum Direct is I told them about this site and the BBB so I got this letter today where they have canceled all the claims Momentum Direct had with them and are no longer doing business/collections for Momentum Direct, so take that one Momentum Direct you thieving bastards. The company Cyber Collect wrote me a letter apologizes for any inconvenience and told me they regret their involvement with this situation/company. Anyone who is reading this who has ordered any of the products the best thing to do is cancel your account quickly.
