LeanSpa – Wow! Less than $2 for a Miracle??
Boy oh Boy! LeanSpa has it all: acai berry, chromium, green tea, garcinia cambogia! All the latest and greatest in weight loss supplements. Finally, the miracle you’ve been seeking.
Of course, you knew there was a giant BUT coming up.
What’s the Problem with LeanSpa?
|
The Claims |
The Real Deal (Purging Anyone?) |
| In a study (conducted by them), 17 people lost fat and gained muscle… | Where do I begin… see below. |
| Acai Berry has tons of antioxidants. | Yes, it does, but this doesn’t help you lose weight all on its own. |
| Green Tea helps boosts metabolism. | Actually, yes. But how much is in LeanSpa? |
| Garcinia cambogia helps you lose weight. | Umm… not proven. |
| 5-HTP helps satisfy hunger by increasing serotonin levels. | Serotonin is a pleasure hormone. It is not entirely responsible for satiety (feeling of fullness). Many, many reasons… what you eat, emotional reasons, low leptin levels (due to excess ab fat… keep reading) |
| Chromium helps increase HDL (good cholesterol) and decrease LDL (bad cholesterol) | Chromium picolinate was shown to lower total cholesterol in humans, but had no significant effect on raising HDL. |
| Burn Fat! Lose Weight! | How? The site is riddled with “combined with proper diet and exercise”… Okay, stop the press and read below… |
Sexy Babes, Tape Measures and a Bunch of … REALLY?
So, the study. Sounds promising right? Burn fat and increase muscle. Read the fine print (from the website):
Graph depicts results from 3 individual study subjects out of 17 participants who completed the study. Other individual participant results varied. The study was an open label 60 day short term trial to assess safety and efficacy. LeanSpa continues to invest in research and is in the process of developing next phase research with a larger double blind placebo controlled trial.
17 people actually completed the study. What happened to the rest? Did the study participants follow any particular diet or exercise program? The site has fine print all over the place about “combined with proper diet and exercise.” So, tell me more LeanSpa because right now, I have no idea what these participants actually did.
I could pick apart the ingredients all day based on actual clinical studies, but here’s the bottom line. Regardless of what they might do or not do, there are no specifics on the amounts of each ingredient. If a product said “contains Vitamin C” but only had 1% of the daily requirements, would you still buy it?
It’s the same old, same old story… You can’t take a pill and healthfully lose weight without changing your dietary habits and exercising. Hey, LeanSpa (and other supplements like it) is nothing but a magic feather. Dumbo couldn’t hold the feather, never flap his ears and still fly, right? Same thing. You might lose weight with LeanSpa IF you followed the right diet and exercise program. But that’s the real trick, right?
I Don’t Have a Magic Feather, but I Can Get You Flying For Real! (and it’s FREE!!)…
If you really want to burn fat and gain muscle, you don’t need an expensive supplement. You need to know about the mistakes you are making now and how to stop making those same mistakes!
I have a 100% free report I’ve put together that teaches you several proven methods to burn fat and gain muscle. So many people are shocked when they find out how some simple changes can really change their ability to burn fat! It’s just not as tough as it sounds…

Great download! I am a real skeptic – especially with downloads, but I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by your write-up. It makes sense! A friend recommended Sensa and after reading your site, I am (once again) too skeptical to try."

Yes, they are a scam. I wish I knew then what I know now about this company Leanspa. I have talked to them to cancel my subscription so far I haven’t gotten my letter from them that they say I need from them to return the product. Which it has been now about a Month. AND GUESS WHAT THEY CHARGED ME FOR JUNE. Wish I have gotten there name or just something like a cancelation number anything. So far they have not been honest with me I want all my money back been CHARGED $79.99 TWICE NOW. I have called my bank to stop payment on this and they can’t do it. Just said to return the product to them. Then I told them what the company told me about I need information to send product back to them. WHAT A MESS !!!!! I CALLED AGAIN TODAY 6-29-11 THEY SAY THEY HAVE A WAITING TIME ABOUT 30 MINUTES WELL LET ME TELL YOU. I STAYED ON OVER 1 HOUR AND NOT ONE PERSON ANSWERED MY CALL AND THEN THE CALLED ENDED ON THERE END. CAN’T GET THE RMA THEY SAY I NEED FOR THIS RETURN. THEY KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING. YEP RIPPING ME OFF AND ALL THE OTHER FINE PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT ORDERED THIS PRODUCT ALSO. I AM OUT $160.00. NO WAY TO GET IT BACK. MAD, OH YES I’M MAD AS HELL.
SCAM SCAM SCAM!!! I not only have called them on many occasions after receiving an RMA number and returning the product with a USPS signature confirmation WITH NO RESULTS OF A REFUND, but I also sent an email to Channel 7 (New York City) called “7 On Your Side”, explaining the problem I now have faced. I am hoping to at least hear from Channel 7 for a fomal investigation against this company. Will keep you posted!
I have been having problems BIG TIME, on these good nothing company. They just keep saying that my money returned in 7-10 days. Even when I sent the products back! And they gave me the RMA numbers. Wrote them on the package. And even had a tracking numbers for all of them. This company is nothing but a SCAM!!! I have been promised since May 23. I am out of $319.00. And I told them that I am on a fixed income. They got me on the beginning at with just a $ 1.99. I even threaten them with my attorney. And still NO response at all. I sent back all products as they asked. Very Very, Upset.
leanspa is the biggest scam out there!!!! i know i’ll never recieve a refund fromthem…i just hope and pray they dont take any more money out of my account!!!
I too fell for the LeanSpa Scam. I emailed only to receive a ticket number and that a representative will get back to me soon. No one has yet to send me a RMA# on my request to send all unopened packages back. In every email I requested a Cancellation and to be refunded my money. No response. Today I checked my bank account to find they have clipped me again for $159.98. In total they owe me a total of $319.96. I will get my money back once I report this to my bank. My bank helped me years ago get a refund on a scam. I will do whatever it takes to get my money refunded. This all began in early April of this year and it ends today.
I ordered both the leanspa plus the colon cleanse and received a shipping notice for both. I received both products about 7 days later. I started taking them according to directions but discovered that something in one or both of the products cause an allergic reaction. I contacted the firm within the original 30 days from receipt of the product only to find out they’d shipped a second order, AND charged my card for $79.98 for each product. I made MANY attempts to request an RMA per their instructions, did not hear a word, or any acknowledgement of my request. I shipped the product back in the original packaging unopened, and took pictures, and have a signature confirmation that that product was received. I FINALLY received the RMA on the same day that Leanspa signed for the return products. I have made numberous attempts to contact the company and have not received ANY response. I am now out $150 for NOTHING because I shipped the product back. My bank says they’ can’t do anything because the company says they need an RMA number to ship the items back but I didn’t receive an RMA until 10 days after my original request. THIS IS A HORRIBLE PRODUCT AND A WORSE COMPANY> AMEN to WHAT A RIP OFF!!!!!
I ordered the two leanspa trial products from a channel six news page. as reported: 4 Week HCA Diet: LeanSpa HCA + LeanSpa Cleanse …
I received shipping notice on the HCA and I received the HCA seven days later.
I did not receive a shipping notice on the Cleanse and I have not yet received the Cleanse. My card was supposed to be charged $1.95 for the Cleanse and I was charged $3.95 for the Cleanse of which I have yet to receive.
I put in a support ticket of which they closed with informing me that they were piled up with tickets and so they closed mine and I would have to call them or reopen the ticket.
I called LeanSpa to get information on the Cleanse and I was simply told that the product was shipped but they have no shipping information. I am still waiting to see if it arrives.
I have reopened the support ticket.
I do feel I am getting some kind of run-around, at this point.
I came across this page today and have now become filled with fear that I am being, or going to be, scammed.
I just called my bank and had my card cancelled and a new one will be sent to me so these people cannot get one more dime from me.
I will not ever again attempt to use anything like this because I do not need the headache!
oh my goodness i wish i had seen all this first…got my first bottle and a couple days later $79 charge..then another!! i sent the bottles back w/ups and hopefully they will refund me..i put it on my debit card no less so i’m talking to my bank about getting anew card or flagging leanspa and not allowing any debits to come thru…crazy how we were all duped.but why in the world haven’t they been sued yet? i’m all for it on this ….they lie and steal and are trying to come off as legitimate..what’s up w/the lady on the news having tried it an had success..was that all true or was that also a scam?? craziness
I ordered the Leanspa and read the agreement, and so after about 10 days I called to cancel. I was told I had to pay $19 and change, and I thought that was fair so I paid it. Never had my account charged after that; no problems. But I knew from past experience with other products that I had to be vigilant about reading the fine print, etc.
It’s just a shame no one’s really even tried the product to report on its effectiveness or ineffectiveness….. I’d have loved to have read more information on the product’s use and results others have had…..
Am I the only one with a headache and I feel too weak to go to the gym today.
I also have NO appetite which is not a good thing.
I used a prepaid card so if they try to bill me I don’t care but my problem is with the actual product.
I’m not expecting a miracle. I go to the gym on a regular basis and I eat extremely healthy. I thought this may improve my results.
How can I loose weight without eating when your body needs calories to burn and protein to give you the energy to burn fat and without energy how can I workout.
This is awful will not take another pill!!!
I also ordered leanspa. They charged my card $160.00 before the trial period was over. I did cancel. I received the RMA along with returning the product. They are still continuing to charge my credit card. What can I do? I am still being charged for these pills that I am not receiving.
Help!!!!!
I spoke with customer service today & they told me that they never received my return & that I did not cancel my subscription. I canceled my subscription on Feb 28th & returned the bottles on March 7th. I have an email confirmation about canceling along with a delivery confirmation for the return. It says money back guarantee in 5 to 7 business days. This is false! Do not order this product!!! I am now out $249.00 for a product that I do not have!!!! I canceled my subscription because it was giving me headaches on a daily basis.
I’ve been trying to get a refund for weeks. They also kept charging my debit card, so I spent $5 to cancel card and get a new one. But they still owe me money. Big Big rip off. I also contacted the BBB, and turned them in
The last time I went to their web site it was shut down. Image that.
Sorry to say,I also fell for leanspas lies. My creditcard was charged $79.99 before the trial period ended. I have tried calling nonstop for the past week,e-mail address doesn’t work, I wish I would’ve read your comment,s
I just want to say thank you to everyone. I was just about to send for the trial offer until I read all of your comments. I’m really sorry that all of you were scammed out of your money. Maybe somebody can file a class action suite against them and all of you can get justice.
CO MPLETE SCAM!!!!!!!! How stupid i feel. along with all of you who were scammed by this bogus company that have ripped us off with all theyre claims and free trials. First of all, if your thinking of trying this product……DO NOT!!!!!!! ITS GARBAGE!!!!!! Once they have your credit card info, there is no way of cancelling with them. I have tried numerous times by phone and not once was i able to get through. i ended up calling my credit card company to let them know that i do not want anymore charges from this BOGUS SCAM. BEWARE, DO NOT GIVE THEM ANY OF YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!
I too was a sucker for leanspa and thier idea of easy cancel cost me 19.41 and i was told i could keep the beauty products that i would be recieving, what bottle of vitamins. When trying to call to try to talk this over, all i get is they are experiencing a heavy volume of calls and i had the option to send e-mail, then a hang up. When i did , finally get a rep I was told he could not answer any of my questions, he was only a temp and knew nothing about this product. Are you kidding!! The only thing i was told was either call BBB or get a lawyer. I am so not a happy customer!! This is why a good diet and plenty of exercise is the only way to go!!!
I also read the channel 7 news report about the Leanspa acai and colon cleansing results. I clicked on the link to get me to the Leanspa site to order my free trial. I accidentally clicked to close the site and as I went back to cancel that request, I noticed that the shipping price went from $4.99 to $1.00. “Wow, cool!” I thought. I then went back to the channel 7 site to order the colon cleanser. That link also lead me to the site that offered a free sample but charged $4.99 shipping. I tried the same (closing out the site) and it worked. From $4.99 to $1.99. Tried again and it went to $1. I placed my order. After I read your comments I decided to call and cancel before they shipped. After two attempts and about 20 min of being on hold, i finally got my ordered canceled. Hopefully it only cost me $2 for a lesson well learned. Thank you all for taking the time to comment. Otherwise many others would get scammed. Although I haven’t experienced the negative results yet, its not worth the gamble.
I ordered the Leanspa trial pack of both the diet pill & cleanse. The story of the 25lb loss sold me right off the bat. But unlike the replies I’m reading here, I DID see that you have 14days to call and cancel so you can avoid paying the $79.99 after your 30day trial. I emailed them, opened a ticket, and called. I managed to get someone after a 15min hold, but still, I was able to cancel through the phone. I have yet to try the pills yet, but at least I won’t be getting charged after the 30days. Hopefully.
I ordered lean spa with acai and the cleanse. when I tried to cancel by email and phone I couldn’t get through. I am going to contact my bank to see if I can stop the lean spa company from further charges.
KP
I stupidly ordered Leanspa, I returned 3 bottles, with the RMA numbers and after 1 1/2 hrs. on hold, they still refuse to reimburse me my $240.00. NEVER AGAIN. The biggest rip off for a company and product I have ever seen!!!!!!
I too saw Channel 7 report which is also a lot of misinformation as the free trial was for 14 day supply not 30 day supply. To cancel the products , and pay no charge, you have to cancel before they are shipped. After reading these reviews, I went to cancel and the acai berry trail was already shipped . In order to “quick cancel”, it would cost $19.41 for my free trial and I have to get a RMA# sent to my e-mail and put the RMA #on sides of pkg., pay shipping to return bottle even if empty and have confirmation of receipt. I also called my Credit Card Company to stop shipping charges for the Cleanse Trial which was not shipped yet . I was told by Leanspa rep., I did not have to pay the “quick cancel” charge for that because it was not sent. I instructed my credit card company to block all charges from Leanspa after the $19.41 “quick cancel” charge. Also received and saved E-mail from Leanspa stating they have canceled all future orders and billing for my account.
Its funny how people buy into all these weight loss supplements and miracle weight loss scams.
I’ve been a personal trainer for over 20 years. The only way to loose weight aside from surgery is to eat healthy and exercise.
If people took the time to read the fine print they would see that all these crappy ads will say somewhere in fine print “along with diet and exercise”!
Thank u for the information about Leanspa because I was thinking
about trying it. The comments have cause me to change my mind.
This will help me to save money that I don’t have to waste.
I wish I had read this before ordering. Maybe there needs to be a class action suit against these creaps!!
I never would have ordered this had it not been for the TV person that said she lost 25 pounds in a month-that was the hook for me. I am sending mine back today well before my trial period ends–certified & overnight. I’m calling my credit card company & telling them not to pay these jerks!!!
Buyers BEWA RE, BEWARE, BEWARE Leanspa is the scam of all scams. Trial Period ??????? There is no such thing. You will be charged the full amount right away whether you want the product or not. Dont even think about getting your money back.
I ordered LeanSpa on 1-19-11 and received one bottle on 1-27-11. This didn’t leave much time to try the product during the 14-day free trial. By 1-31-11, I had actually gained 3 pounds and called to cancel. I tried for 3 days without being able to get through because the recording said they were experiencing “high call volume”. Finally, I got a recording that stated to email support@leanspa.com if I had any questions, and I did on 2-2-11, to tell them I was sending the product back. As of 2-4-11, I have not received an answer to my email. Since I gained weight with taking this product for 4 days I decided it must be another weight-loss scam. Beware!!
I am joining the club, I ordered Leanspa on 1/12/11, bank account charged $79.99 on the 15th, received the product on the 28th and mailed it back unopened on the 31st, I called them yesterday 2/1/11 was on hold for 45 minutes listening to horrible music, finally hung up, called again today 2/2/11 this time they gave the email address to contact customer service, not sure exactly where that is, will keep looking, this is a scam as well as the Miracle Face Lift Kit, that baby wil cost you $99.98 within 5 days of ordering, and product not received for another week after that, was told the clock starts ticking on the trial offer the date you order & you only have 5 days to accept or cancel the subscription so watch out.
The only reason I was even considering ordering Leanspa and the natural detox is because of the Denver Channel 7 news story that was on their website 1/5/11 reporting a 25 pound weight loss in 4 weeks. After reading all of your comments I will NOT be buying these products. I WILL be contacting Denver Channal 7 to ask for an explaination as to why they would encourage their viewers to become involved in such a scam.
I too ordered Leanspa but was unaware of the $79.99 charge, I thought that the $1.00 and $1.99 was the total price for the Trial bottle. Received the Product and I tried to call the company and all I got was a Recording stating “High Volume” of calls so call back later, I tried several times, No Luck—Total Rip Off!!!!! My bank has a Visa Dispute Line to call and if I can’t get thru to Leanspa then I will have my Bank call the Dispute Line.
With my experience I should have known better. As my doctors and the media promotes losing weight and I had both knees replaced, I reached out to take a chance. What a mistake! First of all, my apetite increased, if anything, so I tried to cancel before the expiration date of the return. What a fiasco! For two days I tried to call the provided number for customer service, and was kept on the line, to wait for the next available representative, for two hours yesterday and one hour today and then the phone went dead. They had no intention of letting me to talk to someone. So I went on the line, also a hassle. The free trial cost over $4.00 shipping charges and now you have to return the empty bottle and pay more shipping charges. When you see the “free trial” claim run. I am 72 years old and should know better. Help the poor shnooks who don’t have a computer. This is totally fraud and with all the laws and regulations the state of CT Attorney General should stop this scam. I called the credit company, and heard them laughing, saying they can’t stop future charges.
