I was surfing the "net" and came across the advert for hcg platinum. Took up the offer for a trail it was only £4.95, I also took the offer up on some capsules to help "cleanse" the system and use in conjunction with hcg at a price of also £4.99. Lovely everything came started taking it all - NOTHING still fat!!! But then about a month later got some more hcg that I never ordered AFTER I received the stuff I got an E-mail telling me my order was being posted to me! After I actually got it!! Then a couple of days later the "cleansing" capsules came! Same thing happened. I have tried and tried to get through on the phone line I have two number to choose from! but no-one wants to answer! Please hold the line your call is important! So why don't you answer the phone?!!! I straight away got on to the phone to the bank, who blocked them getting more money out, but blow me on the 2nd july they sent another E-mail telling me my another order was on its way!! What in hells name do you have to do to stop this stuff coming through? My bank have now had to cancel my credit card and are having to issue a new one. I wish I had never come across these company I'l have to stay fat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BE WARNED!!

The reason you did not lose any weight is because the formula you were sold does not have HCG as an ingredient, even though the scammers call it HCG Platinum. This company was the first to remove HCG from their formula and they continued to call it HCG even though it has absolutely nothing to do with HCG.
Unfortunately, you are one of hundreds of thousands of folks being deceived by companies that call their product "HCG" yet don't think it's important to highlight the fact that there is no HCG in the formula. To add insult to injury, their prices are sky high.
Since the FDA came down on HCG drops last year, most HCG drops sellers switched to a "hormone-free" formula. Since HCG is a hormone, that is a very deceptive sales pitch. Unaware consumers might think it sounds good, not knowing that it basically means "HCG-free" formula.
This is a warning to consumers: always read the label. If the ingredient you want isn't there, don't buy it. A formula without HCG does NOT cause weight loss and should NEVER be used on the HCG diet.
One way these scammers are getting around the hunger issue is to tell you to increase your calories to 800-1200 per day, just enough to control hunger. With that many calories/day you have no reason to spend money on a bottle of amino acids, which is what this is. Or, in this company's case, they just sell you more product and hope the combination will trick you into thinking it's working.
There are only a handful of legitimate companies left that offer real HCG drops. I received word that one of the big ones is switching to "hormone free" this week. I'm new to this website, but I assume links aren't allowed; otherwise, I'd steer you in the right direction. -
