Diet Scams Coming From Canada - The Latest

Here is the latest on the Montreal based diet scams.

Scams Being Promoted In Canada:

Ciren12: This scam has been promoted heavily in newspapers across Canada, mainly in the Sun newspaper chain. We have reports of ads from the Vancouver Province (several), the Edmonton Sun, the Calgary Sun, the Winnipeg Sun, and the Ottawa Sun. As well, the ads have been appearing in the Toronto area in an entertainment weekly call "Toronto 24 Hrs".

As we reported before, the ads state a mail drop in a shared office complex in North York, and ultimately go to a fulfillment centre in a northeast Montreal suburb. We are getting closer to who is behind it.

People who have bought this product should continue to contact us.

PapayaPlus: Canada's longest running diet scam continues to be advertised in coupon inserts in newspapers across Canada. Both mailboxes, (Cornwall and Laval), are being used.

Neoform 3000: This Laval based scam continues to be advertised out of an Ottawa mailbox. Many people have not gotten refunds. Some are not even getting product. We have no phone numbers on this.

High Density Soybean: This one we get the occasional complaint on. It is a minor product of an overall diet fraud operation (related to other products).

Canadian Based Scam Being Promoted in the U.S.:

SupraSvelt Drops: We continue to get all kinds of emails daily on this one. From what we are hearing product is coming out slowly, or in some cases, not at all. Some people have received refunds, although after months.

The call centre is reported to us to be rude to customers. Many people are asking about a phone number - the only number we can give out is their public phone number of 1-866-361-9725.

People who bought the product, let us know your experiences!

Le Marc de Raisins: We are getting reports that this Lechine based scam has just sent out another direct mailout.

CitriStat: Nothing new to report at this time.

Trim and Detox: Nothing new to report at this time.

That is the latest we have. We are working hard to do what we have to do on these matters.

Many people are continuing to contact Rainbow Investigations by phone on these matters. We have our own business to run, (and we are busy right now!), so we simply have not got time to return the phone calls we get. Please email us the complaints, or questions. Alternatively, you can send ads to our mailing address.

This is a long battle, but we will succeed!
