- - - WARNING - - -

Hi all!!!! I have not been around in awhile so when I popped in just a few minutes ago I noticed quite a few changes had been made. I didn't read it all in detail but from what I could gather, I am posting this in the right place. If not then I apologize.

Anyway, I wanted to warn everyone about www.medicationsforyou.com. What happened was I needed a refill of my Phentermine so I immediately went to one of the three or so places that I usually get it from each time I run out, as I always try to see which one is cheaper at that time. However the difference this time was when I attempted to order the phentermine at each place, my order would not go through, or it would go through but I would get an email almost immediately after placing it saying that at this time they are holding off on selling any phentermine per a request from the FDA. Um, what?????????

I freaked out, really. I could not believe it. What the heck was going on???? I mena I knew ephedra was now banned but what the heck was the government doing sniffing around in MY DIET MEDICATION for. How dare they, really.

So to make a long story short, I was so upset and really freaked out. Its not as if the phentermine really helps me to lose weight anymore, I have been on it too long now anyway, but I do know that without taking it I am completely dead to the world and I am positive that I will gain a lot of weight if I do not have if for more than a week. Am I addicted, well yea, I would not go that far, but I can say that I do need to take it or else I am dead to the world, especially with all of the pain meds and other meds I am on for my chronic back pain.

Well enough of that, back to my warning. OK so my husband came in our office and saw that I was upset. I was on the phone for a second and he tapped my shoulder and showed me some website that listed the phentermine for $161.00 and free overnight shipping. Even though $161.00 is more than I usually pay for the same 90 day supply of the 30mg Phentermines, I thought i better just give it a shot anyway, just in case it was my last chance. Now I did this without ever even asking my husband where he found this website. I assumed he was just being sweet and did his own research. I never thought that he was just responding to one of those over zealous and down right annoying emails that continue to pop up in your inbox each and every day, as I thought he knew better than to trust those as I have told him in the past that these sort of places are usually shady. You know, here today gone tomorrow websites that are out to make a load of money and then bail. But sadly it turned out that this was just the kind of place i was dealing with.

But not knowing that i went ahead and placed my order and everything seemed just like the normal ordering process. You know, step one, step two, etc. The website listed "free consultation" and "free shipping" all over it, as well as on the area that I entered my credit card. Then , just as I put the last bit of info in and hit "submit". I sat there for a moment and the reply I received blew me away.
It had all of my shipping info and the details on the medication, as well as the courrier that they use, and then at the bottom of the page under TOTAL, it said $586.22!!!!

Can you believe that? I sure as heck know that i could not believe that. I actually thought it was an error on their end as I never would have thought they could have possibly charged me $586.22 when I was only supposed to be billed $161.00. I then read the invoice further and saw all of these strange charges. I do not have it in front of me right so I don't have exact amounts in each of the following areas:
Subtotal:
Prescriptions:
Doctor Consultation Fee:
Online Consultation Fee:
RX Dispensing Fee:
Shipping:
Grand Total:

I almost had to laugh when I read that because as long as i have been getting the phentermine online as well as in the past when I was getting my pain meds online, I have never seen such a blatant outright scam right before my eyes, especially not with a US Pharmacy! But honestly, I have never even been scammed that bad from an International Pharmacy either.

The worst part is that stupid me used our debit card for the purchase. I nnormally NEVER do that but at that moment I felt desperate and so lucky that I had actuallt found one website that was not holding off on dispensing the phentermine and I did not want to waste any time by waiting for my husband to get back with our credit cards as he just took a short trip to the store, so I used our debit card instead of waiting.

I regret this so much as I now have to fight to get the money back. Had it been a credit card then it would not have had such a drastic effect on our finances as the card that takes the funds directly from our bank account. Not to mention that it was already a tough month for us anyway so I really already felt bad for blowing $161.00 on the med anyway, but now add in a few more hundred bucks immediately taken out of the account and that makes for a bit of a mess.

To end this all let's just say I called and called and called the number listed on their website. I swear to God it rang for ever, no matter what time of the day it was. I called early morning and late night and in between for one whole day, and nothing. Then I hit the jackpot. I was calling and on the first ring they picked up, but they did not say hello or anything, in fact I could tell someone was trying to dial out. Yep, they did not know the phone rand and they were using the phone to call someone on their end. AH HA!!!! GOTCHA. So I sat there for a second and after they punched in the numbers I waited a second and then said, "hello". That thre the chick off guard as I think she thought that the person she had been calling just answered. It was brilliant, caught her red handed. It was great. When she replied back to me I then started to ask about my order and the charges and that I wanted to talk to a manager. It literally blew her away, hee hee.

Luckily she did get someone who claimed to be a manager and he told me that these were not hidden fees at all, in fact he said that they host about 50 different websites and the info is listed on all of them. Well that was when I really got worried because 50 websites could potentially bring in thousands and thousands of dollars if people are being billed at $586.22 each time. I told him that his website did not say how much I was going to be charged and that in fact it had said over and over there was to be free shipping and the consuiltation was free. He denied this and said he would check on that. I demanded a refund and I also said that if he was smart he would also start refunding anyone else that was charged over $161.00 for their product or else this was going to turn into a huge lawsuit.

Dead silence. I did at least get one question answered though, when I asked him why it was so expensive he said that the prescription I ordered would have been for one whole year worth of refills, meaning no consultation fees for the whole year. Oh whippee, there was not supposed to be a consultation fee anyway.

He eventually just hung up on me and as far as I am concerned, more power to him, but i am going to do my darndest to make sure none of you guys use any of these websites. Obviously I do not have all of the web adresses for these things, but I will post the phone number as I am almost sure they only have 1 phone line for all of them. Then if you do find yourself needing to get the phentermine from a different source, or if you are just curious as to whether or not you have used them before, then go ahead and cross reference the nuber I am posting.

As for me, I learned my lesson. My husband is the one trying to get the money back in our checking account. We did immediately cancel that card just in case they tried to use it again. I just hope we do get the funds back as I feel really stupid!!! Then, to top it all off, they never even sent the phentermine. I mean i guess I should just shut up about that, but I think it just goes to show that they were the lowest of the low. Not only do they charge hundreds more than they said they would, but I do not even think they are a legitimate pharmacy to begin with.

Well sorry again for such a long story, I just wanted you all to be on the look out!!! Take care all!!

The phone number for the place is.....um, oh oh. I can not find it right now. So sorry. I bet my husband moved it while he was working on the chargeback stuff. Sorry! But once I find it I will post it for everyone.
