Wu Yi Source is a RIP OFF - do not go anywhere near them!
Staying Fat forever is better than these scammers ripping you off.
I went for the trial - which arrived the day after the trail period when I could cancel - they continued to take two unauthorised full payments until I cancelled and even then I was still seeing unidentifiable small amounts coming out - My bank's fraud dept told me to cancel the card as if it was stolen.
I asked Wu-Yi SOurce to send me confirmation that they had destroyed my credit card details and had not handed my cc details on to anyone else. (STILL WAITING)
Another thing - I use stock photography in my job and noticed that their 'team" at the bottom of this page under About Us http://www.wu-yisource.com/ is the same crowd as this stock photo here... http://www.shutterstock.com/pic-8514241-business-team-in-an-office-with-a-businesswoman-leading.html
Look who has added their head!
Before you even consider a cup of second rate tea will work RUN! The only weight you will lose from this tea is from your pockets.
Even if you Google WuYi Tea Scam there is a paid add at the top supposedly by a woman who was scammed by other wu yi suppliers and then found the Wu Yi Source worked and was wonderful - So they are even spending Google Ad money for reputation management using SCAM as the keyword.
Start walking every day, drop the sugar carbs all for FREE!
I hope they get caught real soon - where are the laws that govern these scams?

I had called Wu Yi Tea to cancel within their "14 day trial" and still I got charged 20.95 and 36.77 from them other than the Living Lean charges of 20.81.

So I just called Living Lean and holly crap you have to go through hell to make them budge. She wanted to convince me they gave us all the resources and info about how we were supposed to cancel within 30 days and I didn't. So she gave me a cancellation code and wouldn't refund my money till I told her, "Are you really kidding me? out of the 100's of people posting complaints you wanna sit here and convince me you unformed all of us?" and then some sound turned on so I guess she was tapping me or something until I finished about complaining and she changed the code and told me I was canceled and refunded, and I hope this is it.

For Wu Yi Tea, the guy was so hard to deal with he sounded like an automated machine he repeated everything i said a million times! But told me to send my unused portion in a package via UPS with tracking number (there is another charge lol) and in 3-4 days they will refund me my money.

So I hope this helps in your dealings with them. :) F-ed up scammers!

I too was a victom of this scam...upon calling Living Lean i was very matter of fact in stating that i did not order their services, i wanted it cancelled immediately and i wanted my credit card refunded...the whole call lasted about 5 minutes, there was no if ands or buts about the situation, the gentleman on the line gave me a refund confirmation and said it had been done. I suppose now i wait and find out if it really has been.

I also just recently cancelled my free trial to Wuyi tea about a week ago. Today I noticed a charge on my account for $19.95 that said "IW Living Lean in Las Vegas, NV. I did not authorize. What a scam! Don don't order the tea!

Just happened to me today too. We are living on a shoestring budget right now and I can't afford people just popping things on my account whenever they please.
Anyway FYI After calling Living Lean at [protected]. It was like pulling teeth to get any info, but they will only take off and cancel the living lean. You must then contact customer service for Wu-Yi Tea to cancel them as well, or you may continue to get unwanted charges. Their number is [protected] ext 2. The recording asks if you are cancelling your membership to email them at Teahelp@usa.com with your name, order number or e-mail address, and reason for cancelling (are they kidding?) You should get a response from one of their team members within 48 hours. If you do not hear from them, then you call their number again, but use ext. 3 this time. What a freaking nightmare. I hope this helps someone else.

Here I am yet another unauthorized user charged $19.95. However, I threatened to contact the Better Business Bureau but the guy did not budge with saying he would credit me the $19.95. What can we do about this!

Same here, another unauthorized 19.95. This was after I got a customer service rep named Nathan in a chat who assured me I was dis enrolled and would no longer be charged. Then lo and behold yesterday I got zinged. I will be calling them, but yes I agree, they need to be shut down.

If anyone else wants to take legal action against this company, email me and let me know. Together we can get our justice! Those who are serious about it need to do something. There are more than likely hundreds like you who got ripped off by these leaches! Don't let your hard earned money just be forgotten! It's not gone yet, just stolen. Lets show them they can't just go around ripping hard-working people off! Let's show these mo-fo's who's in charge of OUR MONEY!

I sure wished I had checked out the company before I tried this tea that didn't work. I've been charged 2 months for something I didn't even know about. What a rip-off! I told them I was calling the BBB as well as. They refunded me 1 month only, becuase I did't follow the right procedure. What procedure, I didn't even know about this so-called FREE offer.

Holy Schamoley! I cannot believe this company! I was online today to check my transactions on my credit card & realized that I've been billed for something that I did not authorize...The Living Lean Las Vegas! Boy oh boy did I let them have a piece of my mind! This was my first time purchasing an order online & never again! I am right pissed off that this company (Wu-Yi Tea) thinks that its okay to pass your credit card number just like a box of donuts for someone or some other division of their company to start charging you for stuff that you don't even authorize! Also, supposedly the Living Lean is supposed to be a membership of some sort online? Did anyone even know that? They are total RIP OFFS!

THIS COMPANY IS A SCAM! THEY TRY SO HARD TO CONVINCE YOU THAT WHAT THEY HAVE CHARGED IS PERFECTLY LEGAL AND THAT YOU SHOULD KEEP THE PROGRAM RUNNING...I JUST GOT OFF THE PHONE WITH "LIVING LEAN" AND DEMANDED MY CARD BE REFUNDED OR I WOULD BE FILING DISPUTES WITH MY CC & THEY WOULD TAKE IT OFF...THEY FINALLY AGREED TO REFUND MY MONEY BACK & FOR THE THIRD TIME CANCEL ALL ACCOUNT INFO FROM THEIR FILES...WILL SEE...RIGHT? EITHER WAY...TAKE CONTROL AND DO NOT LET THEM CONTROL YOU!

I also went through the same thing. Why didn't I hear about them before I was charged. If it was a free offer why didn't I have any information on it. How can you use their product or what ever they do if they don't give you anything on it?

I ordered a "free trial" offer of tea, which NO it does not work any more than just following their diet and exercise advise. I was billed for the full amount so it was not free at all. Also I have received another box which I am returning. You can not get anyone on the phone but I did get to do a live chat. I will be waiting for a refund. Also, I was billed for Living Lean which I did not order or sign up for. I did find someone live to speak with in customer service but it took quite a bit of talking before I was able to get a confirmation of refund. I will be looking for that $19.95 refund also. If anyone wants the same tea you can go to any oriental market and buy a big box of oolong tea for a lot less that $34.95. I guess the moral to the story is that there is not a magic pill for weight loss. Good luck

i just called LIVING LEAN [protected]. it seems that in the tea agreement they KNOW we wont read there is a free trial for Living lean and then auto membership after 30 days. she originally refused to refund the 19.95 but i insisted i was going to fill a dispute and a claim with the BBA. she gave me a courtesy refund and a con number that should be fixed in 3-5 biz days

I TOTALLY AGREE THAT THIS COMPANY IS COMPLETELY UNETHICAL. THEY CHARGED FOR LIVING LEAN THAT I NEVER PURCHASED AND THEY TOTALLY MISREPRESENTED THE TEA.
I FIND IT DEPLORIABLE THAT THE MEDIA HYPED THIS PRODUCT AND COMPANY. THEIR FREE TRIAL WAS NOT FREE AND VERY EXPENSIVE FOR A CUP OF FLIPPIN TEA.

I was also scammed by them! I agreed to the trial offer but was unable to cancel. The next thing I know my account was electronically charged the orginal $6.95 on 3/3, then on 3/24 they charged me $29.95 and now today, 4/2 there is a pending charge for another $34.90, for a total of $71.80! For one lousy box of tea that I have never even opened! In addition to that there is a pending charge for $19.95 from Living Lean Las Vegas, which I have NEVER heard of nor did I ever give authorization for them to charge my account. What are they charging me for anyway? Who knows! All I know is they need to be stopped!

I have the same complaint! I saw that there was a free trial time for this Living Lean Las Vegas, and I immediately went to the site to cancel my membership, but it said to wait for an email giving me my user name and password, but I never got the email. Even if I had liked to use this site, I was never even given access and should definitely NOT be charged for its nonexistent services.

My story is the same...this Living Lean Company is giving me the 'run around' as we speak. I am on hold on the phone. "Holly" the Supervisor has just given me her word that I will be refunded the two charges from Living Lean. If this happens it will mean one box of tea has only cost me $46.15 instead of $87.04. I will also be calling the Better Business Bureau.

Right after I signed up for Wu-Yi tea on 2-2-08 I tried to cancel it because I am disabled with Parkinson's disease and can't do the 30 minute 3 X a week walk. I was sent the tea anyway but returned it with a letter of explanation (which they required). I just got my credit card statement with a $37.00 charge for tea and a $19.95 charge from "Living Lean" who I had never heard of. After doing a search online I learned that Living Lean is Wu-Yi tea and they don't refund money. About 50 or more people have had experiences similar to mine and are very angry. Unfortunately, I will have to cancel my credit card and get a new one to get them out of my money. On one site people who used credit cards were advised to ask their company for a dispute form. Thank goodness for the internet.

I too purchased a 14 day trial of the Wu-Yi Tea and did not see where it indicated that I would be subscribed to a Living Lean program. I am trying to recoup my $19.95 that is automatically being billed to my checking account, but have yet to get a hold of Wu-Yi tea company. The tea does not work and is not affordable. Do not fall for this scam.

I wish I had searched a site such as this before falling for the scam of Wu-Yi source. I just went through the exact same experience with 'Living Lean' and overall I lost $19.95 for a service I never even knew was available to me let alone being charged for and $15.90 for shipping and restocking the tea, which did not work. My emails to the Wu-Yi email (teahelp@usa.com) went unanswered and the phone number they give you on the website refers you to the phony email address. I finally got through on live chat to cancel my order, but I still lost money. What a scam!
