Skinny Body Care review: Scammed 167

I was about to join. Decided to do a little research and found this board. Now I have decided not to join..

Since Feb. 2014 I have lost over 65lbs using Skinny Fiber and still loosing. I did not change my diet and very little exercise. It worked so well that I decided to sell the product at http://moyo1986.WealthyAndTrim.com, and can honestly say you do get paid...weekly, ...monthLy..., and quarterly checks according to YOUR work you put in. I would not have believed this had I not taken a chance on SBC. Skinny Fiber has chanced my life.

I want an auditing department to check on this company. As soon as a pretty new girl comes in peoples' downline are moved under them to make them platinum or diamonds. It has been happening blatently since I started in March. In addition people sponsor hop which is clearly in violation of their pharmacies. Jon Gillardi abusive, abrasive and still drinking. Pete Delmonico the brains behind moving the teams around that other peopl signed. Tim Miller also drunk on the job is well aware of the corruption. And so is Ben Glinsky. If an investigation occurs I know so many more stories of people that will come out but they are all fearful of those four guys.

I respectfully ask that you remove this comment that I pasted below. I do not want to get involved in anyone's business. As far as Tim Miller he posted some crazy photos which made it seem he was drunk, I cannot prove that therefore I wish to retract that comment. All of his posts were proper and I have never had a bad experience as far as Tim is concerned. As for the other two Jon and Pete what they do is their businesss. Same goes for Ben Glinski I have never had contact with him personally.. I want this taken down immediately as I do not want any ill feelings toward anyone. I simply choose to remove myself from these people. I really enoyed doing my job and the product, a few rotten apples spoiled the pie. I will continue to check back to make sure this is removed. Again I respectfully ask this comment and my name be removed. Today is 10/4/14 @ 10:25am EST.

How about a distributer who advertises the product on Facebook, offers rebates but doesn't follow through, who has contests but never annonces the winner, who posts high calorie recipes on the same Facebook account she sells the product on and who cannot handle even the slightest negative comment...lisa brickett is her name. I am close to filling a complaint with the better business bureau.

FTC is already on this, including the fact that me and my family were threatened for complaining

I think that something needs to be done because of how she conducts herself. So unprofessional. I emailed her again today about not receiving my rebate from the purchase in July. Would you mind sending me more info on the FTC complaint. I would like to file one too. I don't think Facebook should be used as a platform for selling things unless one pays the advertising fee. kiddo82729@gmail.com

Skinny Body Care is $59.00 per month to buy your monthly product, if you lost $25, 000 that is on you, and whatever wasteful marketing methods you attempted to do on your own and that has nothing to do with SBC as a company. If you were unhappy with your monthly purchase you could have returned it any time during the month you bought it for a full refund. You cannot buy Skinny Fiber at any retail Stores because it is a Proprietary Supplement, meaning SkinnyBodyCompany owns the rights to the ingredients formula. If you did not make any money that means you didn't stick it out and bring in enough people to make any money from it, or provide them with the support they needed to build the business. Stop blaming other people for your failures. Take responsibility, you will go much farther in life.

KNH I have responded to all Your emails . Let me remind you that the first time i did send an Etransfer and because I am in Canada I did. It realize it would not work. Then, I had to wait for the funds to be transferred back. Once they were I sent you a PREPAID VISA which unfortunately it got lost. I even offered to send you out another and you told me no, cause if you got one you would feel bad... Then yesterday you emailed asking me to send it money order which I was not comfortable doing seeing as the first one got lost. When I did the rebate I did post that it was etransfer or paypal.. I aploligise for everything and that it has taken so long. I did Paypal you the $ once you asked me to send the money order and now I come on here to see slander against me?.. I will not use your name cause it is illegal it is called Slander! I suggest you get your comments removed. What you made be out to be is not the person I am. You failed to mention that on my timeline I post for everyone because not everyone is on a diet.. You also failed to mention that I offer a support group with healthy tips and advise. You lie when you say I do contests and never announce the winner! I can not believe this. I am so hurt... I have proof of all, of the emails, and even the paypal transaction even the contest winners, Heck I can get them to email you if you want... Everyone I promise I am not the person she made me out to be... I have thousands of followers and friends on my timeline who will vouch for me... I am so hurt... I do these rebates for those who can not afford and have never had anyone do this to me.. This has nothing to do with the company, this money comes from me...I have attached the paypal receipt which you have not claimed yet

Shelby2...I did receive the pay pal email ... I Do not use pay Pal but will attempt to get to figure it out. I have tried to delete or edit my last posting but was unable to. I will make another attempt tomorrow so your name is removed. I stand by some of my other remarks...no need to repeat anything. I feel you need to get thicker skin if you plan on continuing in this business. You will never please everyone all the time...nobody can do that. I apologize to you and will attempt to edit the post. I highly doubt I will be placing another order for skinny fiber though. The cost is way too high. I will go back to what I was using last fall but had to stop when I had surgery and it worked better than skinny fiber at 1/4 the price.

KNH - I would appreciate that.. I am sorry you felt the need to slander my name when I did everything I could to help you. The info you wrote about me is false.. The on, y thing is, it's not thick skin..I am just very sensitive when lies are posted about me. I have all the facts here showing that I did my best.. I know I can't please everyone.. Wish I could that is why I am so good at my job, , I care about people., God gave me a good heart.an honest one and I stand by it.. Again, I am sorry if you feel I did not do my best to get this to you . All that matters is that I know I did, I now have sent out two payments.. If the Visa does find it's way there consider it a gift for the troubles..

I have tried to delete and edit a posting I made October 12th regarding an experience I had with a skinny fiber distributor. I would like to make a public apology to LB. I never should have used her name. The issues I have with her are mine alone. I did receive my rebate after several attempts. LB cares about her customers and sincerely does her best to help them. The post of mine I am referring to was written ... knee jerk reaction...and I would like so very much to edit it...or delete it...but I cannot see a way to do that. LB...please accept my apology. You do an awful lot of work helping those you are trying to get in better health. Best of luck to you with your business.

What this person is saying is not true. They must have a problem with some of the people named in her comment. They do not promise anything she said. Skinny Body care does everything they can to help you succeed as a distributor. The product Skinny Fiber does work. I have lost 22 pounds in less than 3 months and my Husband has lost 23. Skinny Fiber has changed our life's. I hope people will read the comments to this persons post so they will know she is not telling the truth. Jo Carter

Here's an email directly from SBC 2 months into my 90 day Challenge. I purchased 6 bottles initially and one more in the second month and have plenty left for my 90 day challenge. Here's what they don't tell you up front!

to me
Hi Anthony,

VERY IMPORTANT: Since you do not yet have a product order this month (October), you are not qualified to earn commissions for this months' volume.

Even more, your position in SBC IS IN JEOPARDY OF BE REMOVED on SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 1 if you don't place your product order before the end of the month (Friday, October 31).

Be sure to log in TODAY and place your order so that you don't lose your position and all the people who could be placed under you.

Click here now to place your order:
https://www.skinnybodycare.com/rejoin?ID=2702861&HASH=7b725756785c232141c6ba5678ba60ff

In just our first three and a half years, we have ALREADY become the fastest growing company in the industry. With the launch of our HOT new 90 Day Challenge website, our AWESOME 3 for 3 program, and some HUGE promotions putting more money in the compensation plan, we're about to launch our second (and even BIGGER) phase of massive growth with SBC. We are about to see matrixes filling faster than ever and a LOT of people generating some VERY serious income with this company.

So before we open up the flood gates and start bringing on the masses, we are removing ALL the inactive people in the matrix to make room for the HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of new members we expect to see joining over the next several months.

To make it even easier for you Anthony, WE ARE WAIVING THE $10 REACTIVATION FEE through the end of the month. That means, you can now REACTIVATE your position ABOVE ALL the new volume that has come in this month and all the new members who may fall below you in the matrix for months and years to come.

Click here to reactivate NOW https://www.skinnybodycare.com/rejoin?ID=2702861&HASH=7b725756785c232141c6ba5678ba60ff

REMEMBER, the ONLY place all of our new members can go in the matrix is UNDER the people who are already in there, like YOU. BUT only if you place your product order BEFORE THE END OF THE MONTH.

This PRIORITY PLACEMENT is ONLY being offered to our previous members. And ONLY THROUGH FRIDAY OCTOBER 31. We have some HUGE things happening in the next few months and don't want to see you miss out on them.

IMPORTANT: We are clearing the database of ALL inactive members on Saturday, November 1 to make room for ALL the new volume that is about to come in. That means YOUR POSITION WILL BE PERMANENTLY REMOVED if you do not have an order in the next 2 days. So you MUST reactivate before the end of THE MONTH (FRIDAY, OCTOBER 31, 2014).

Don't hesitate Anthony. We are making this a VERY easy decision for you and COMPLETELY WAIVING YOUR $10 REACTIVATION FEE as long as you reactivate before Friday.

It's not often we get second chances at great opportunities. 2014 has been the biggest year to date for members of SBC and 2015 is expected to be even BIGGER. This opportunity is beyond HUGE. NOW IS YOUR CHANCE.

Don't wait. Get Started NOW: https://www.skinnybodycare.com/rejoin?ID=2702861&HASH=7b725756785c232141c6ba5678ba60ff

Seriously people, SBC has been around for a few years with no fan fair. This should speak volumes. If it was a great opportunity then why haven’t the major players with other MLM programs come on board? They say it’s easy, that the product works and that their fastest growing company in the industry. WHAT A JOKE! If you want to be in pyramid - then by all means join.

Skinny Fiber also does not have a "Satisfaction Guarantee" They require ALL the bottles purchased on your first order be returned back to them in order to qualify for a refund. BUT ... you took ALL the product, which is why you know you're not satisfied. How could you NOT be satisfied if you did NOT take the product.

In a statement they made to me in an email they state: "If the Distributor (and/or his or her Customer who ordered directly from the Company) is not completely satisfied with the First Product Purchase, he or she may send to the Company the unused portion of the First Product Purchase within thirty (30) days of the original purchase date for 1 bottle, and (90) days for 3 or more orders placed within the same month, and the Company will refund 100% of the purchase price (less shipping and handling). " So I returned the unused portion, which was less than one bottle (bottle included). They still won't honor their refund policy. They want all 6 bottles returned back to them.

As a consumer, I'm out $170.00.

If you are curious about the current lawsuit against Ben Glinsky you can check them out on my blog.
Or perhaps you are a current distributor who is not being told the true story of what is taking place feel free to read it.
OR perhaps you were a past customer who struggled with the product Skinny Fiber, there was a reason you were struggling, please read my blog..
Read it all here: http://nataleeembry.weebly.com/on-the-lighter-side

These are strange reviews. I have no clue how you could buy so many bottles and lose money. I'm thinking about ordering a bottle but is there an upsell that I'm not familiar with. Don't you buy the bottle - use it for 30 days - and see if you like it? What are all these reviews about?

Well here is one to add. 3 years later the company is still going strong. I am not a distributor but I do take the product. This product is meant to boost your digestive track. Not a quick fix diet pill. The company is a pyramid style company. You can NOT make money without people below you.

This dude was just bitter and obviously was pretending to be multiple people to give the effect that a handful of people were complaining when it was only him lol.

Do yourself a favor and take this down.

Also if you are interested in the product or selling it, shadow someone for a month. Watch what they do, learn how they do it. That way if it doesn't seem like something you're interested in you don't waste any money.

I have just signed up for skinny Body Care as i am looking for a MLM opportunity that will actually lead to huge success. They are international, they have made a solid amount of revenues, and their products receive excellent reviews.

I have just received an email from them explaining that I may have 54 people assigned to my power-line by their forced matrix business model. I have been advised to place my first order by Thursday for at least 1 bottle at $59.99 + $10 registration fee if i bonus" want to secure my position. The way I'm thinking about this entire process is that I should see some "commissions" and "matching bonus" checks within a month, and this is perfect because they offer a "no hassle", "empty bottle", 90 day money back guarantee. I will simply ask for a refund if I don't earn any money unless my wife sees any positive results from using the product because she is really serious about losing 20 lbs (she looks great to me, but I've always been somewhat of a "chubby-chaser"!).

I checked the BBB for their rating and they are clean (absolutely 0 complaints within the last 3 years), so the post above that says they have an "F" rating is an absolute liar. In fact, where are ALL of the complaints about being scammed. You can't get scammed when a company honors a "100% money back guarantee policy", and the fact that Skinny Body Care offers an "empty bottle, 90 day, full refund policy to customers in over 160 countries is really unheard of in any "consumer" product industry, let alone a MLM!

I will buy the bottle because I have made decent money from MLM companies before despite numerous complaints. You can't paint every company with the same brush. The only way to truly know is to try for yourself. JUST LOOK HOW GREAT "ISAGENIX" HAS BEEN PERFORMING, and their flagship 30 day cleanse costs a whopping $373, and they're selling like hotcakes. Boy I wish I was on the top of their matrix and leaderboards. This is great timing with Skinny Body Care as far as I'm concerned!

Here is the BBB link to the company: http://www.bbb.org/connecticut/business-reviews/cosmetics-and-perfumes-retail/skinny-body-care-in-southington-ct-87105621

Hello, now I'm going to change my position. I will not join Skinny Body Care and here's why: I have found another BBB report under that company name and they do have an "F" rating. However, the open complaints come from members who have had their accounts closed for selling an Amazon and Ebay. The reason why I am not going to join is because they have too much negative press. There should not have been any member trying to sell on Ebay or other auction sites anyway. I don't want to sell products. I only want to recruit members who will be forced to buy the products (that's why I like The 4 Corners Alliance Group); therefore the products must work as described and be very safe to use.

i don't want to get involved with any MLM that has many complaints, and I firmly believe that all MLM companies should be very diligent in maintaining a "flawless" company profile.

Here is another BBB link for the company:
http://www.bbb.org/utah/business-reviews/health-and-medical-products/skinny-body-care-in-salt-lake-city-ut-22303096

This is a complete lie... even I am doing my due diligence & no where can you spend $25K with this company... YOU are lying! Did you spend $25K on bogus advertising because you're a newbie with zero advertising experience to get no one signed up? Even then, I think you're lying!

Skinny Body Care marketing is misleading - tellin people that the downline is built automatically and you earn from everyone in your power line. Absolute rubbish. You only get three people placed beneath you and you only then earn about $9, $5 and $3 from them a total of approx $18. The commission structure is deliberately unclear and conusing, stating 40% and 50% commission - when infact you don't get that - perhaps only with direct signees. This company is made to look even work with so many internet mareter flooding in self promoting and getting people to sign up as their 'leaders' but then doing nothing to help them.

On an ethical basis - the chemicals are prescription only in the UK because they have adverse reactions to many health conditions and contraindicated to many medications. You may risk increasing your blood pressure to dangerous levels and risk stroke and heart attack.

There are many people with no ethics that will sell you poison if they think it will attract a passive incoe stream and get their names to the top of a league table and get them followers. Beware of this.

I enrolled in skinny body care in June 2016 and wanted to share my experience. The hiburn8 is a good product, however, the payout system is very misleading. I earned 9 whole dollars over the course of one month and all those hundreds of people who enrolled under me didn't earn me a penny. I have never been to excited about mlm's because recruiting is very difficult for me, however, I tried it because an associate of mine raved about how sbc builds your downline which will result in you earning a decent income, both wkly and mthly. I have since learned after having earned only 9 bucks that that's not true! Good luck to those who are riding the wave but I just cancelled the product purchase and monthly autoship because I simply can not invest my hard earned dollars into sbc. Good luck guys and thanks for the platform :)!

what i see here is a lot of people complaining about this product or some people liking this product, but what i don't see is anyone showing any commissions they have or have not made. so can someone please show us how much you are making or not making. as i wont upgrade in this program until i see some sort of evidence showing how you can make an earning on commissions.
i mean paying out $69 a month for these products which can be purchased for a lot less in my local chemist, so why is this product so pricey?
anyone gt answers?

They lie when they send a email before you upgrade and say you have one more member in the powerline and you earn $5 or $10 when you become a member, , , after one month and you earn $9 it´s the same like nothing ! this calls a SCAM.

I am reading all these "reviews" and the one thing that keeps pissin me off is that those of you who are taking up for sbc are stating that they never said you could sit on your ### and make money! But in fact they basically are giving that exact impression. They do say that building a team, delving deeper into the biz op by positioning yourself in a higher ranking position, i.E., becoming a distributor, etc., will in turn beef up your profit margin. But stop saying that they're not giving the impression that you can't do more than position yourself in the downline (Pre-enroll) and buy a package by the following thursday, and all of the enrollees below you and those who have purchased will put $ in your account! Because they do say just that! And what's with the f rating with the bbb!? No explanations there! That in itself says it all people. I am sure that these people aren't making this crap up! They got ripped off-plain and simple! That's why i love these sites so we can hear from other people who jumped in the pool with both feet and came out scalded because they got themselves in some hot butt water! Kudos to you who have a voice and use it to speak your mind! And kudos galore to websites such as www.Complaintsboard.com for allowing us to use our voices. Good day and i hope those of you that were scammed by sbc are able to retrieve your losses and return to your normal lives with this burden and thorn in your sides removed once and for all. I appreciate your honesty and for whatever it's worth, you saved me from joining this "too good to be true" venture!

I do not usually get involved with these sort of things but after reading so many comments I had to jump in. Firstly, SBC Opportunity is just that. It is an opportunity to be able to make a lot of money but you have to actually put a little effort into it. If for some reason you did not have any success with SBC then you have not learned the best ways to market it effectively and clearly have not made that much money on the internet for anything you are promoting. If you can not succeed with SBC..you can not succeed with any network marketing business period. They all work the same. You need to actually do a little work and be consistent. You can't expect to become a millionaire after sending a few emails and a little website traffic to it. As far as the product, the product works as long as you use it correctly. You can't expect to lose weight if you are still consuming 3500 calories a day.

I just discovered this post about SBC. I joined the company in April 2011 for the sole purpose of using Skinny Fiber to help me lose weight. I understood there were no magic pills to losing weight and that I had to do my part by changing my lifestyle in regard to eating healthier food and few calories. Skinny Fiber helped me control my portions and my cravings for sweets, which I loved. I have lost over 60 pounds with the product. I did not begin promoting the business opportunity and product until I began loosing weight because I was skeptical. Fast forward 5 years. The company continues to thrive. There are now 6 awesome products (3 weight loss, 2 skin care, and 1 Energy Drink). The pay plan has been enhanced and there are videos which explain exactly how you can make money as a Distributor. Since this is a business, your individual business results will depend on your efforts. Most people join the company thinking they are going to begin making money overnight for doing nothing, which is partially true due to the Powerline system. However, since this is a business, this has to be treated like a business. Skinny Body Care is not a scam. I understand people may feel that way because they do not fully understand how the Pay Plan works and the way it was presented by the person they signed up under. I always tell people this is not a get rick quick scheme and they need to commit at least 3 to 5 years to consistently build their business and team.

Everyone is so quick to complain and so quick to believe some guy post that he's lost $25K and was promised $1.6K/mo and blah blah blah. I am in this program, cost of the products pales compared to the wonderful tools and training one gets, commissions from spill over and 50% fast start bonuses are gravvy at that point...and that does not even get to the real goodness of the comp plan. Anyone want to go through this with me with a fine tooth comb I am up for the challenge. Best regards!

You can get in touch and/or take a free tour of the company here: http://thebestgetsbetter.com

I just looked this company up on BBB and it is not rated it says... because I am in Canada it is showing SkinnyFiber Canada http://skinnyfibercanada.com and THAT has an F rating for failure to respond to TWO complaints. HOWEVER if you put that URL in your browser and go to it, it is forwarding to this now and this isn't even Skinny Body Care products or business: https://chriscotton.vidadivina.com/products
so not sure why this person would have left the company but now you know why companies have in their policies and procedures that distributors are NOT supposed to be buying domain names with the company copyright names in the URL because of this kind of thing that can happen. So lots and lots of companies have no rating, that is not a bad thing. This F Rating is for this guy Chris Cotton not SBC, so just don't go into business with Chris Cotton and you should be ok !

Whoever this is that won't even leave their real name... obviously is a JOKE... IF someone had a real claim, they would have no problem leaving their name and the FACTS/PROOF not just what they CLAIM. This is one of the best companies I've ever promoted for and I'm well pleased with the income. Someone saying they sunk $25, 000 into this and lost it...I'd like to see the itemized list of money they lost and how. Sounds like someone with a grudge about something that didn't go their way...spoiled little brat who wants everything to fall into their lap. You have to feel sorry for them...but take their word for it? NO WAY! I've seen too much good with my own eyes. Peggy Tillman

well i will let you guys know i have made $50+ in commissions in the past month and a half, but this month i forgot to place an order so they closed my account... i cant even access my account to get the commissions owed to me. i asked them to put the money in my payoneer account but the money has not been transferred.

WOW these comments are really sad and a terrible way to treat other HUMAN beings with a soul. Not what we are put on the earth for...We are supposed to love each other no matter what and take CARE of one another. Please this is not worth allowing evil nature to take over in your heart and minds...

My first product with you Skinny Body Care was Ageless serum which when I opened it up, it has half of a bottle and it was hard to squeeze out.

This month I tried the instant youth and it is just not working. No results. Not as the product describe in the video I saw

The HiBurn8 that was sent to me has a junk of power stuck in the neck of the bottle, and the bottle suppose to be liquid only. It is so gross out.

I'm leaving Skinny Body Care, as its products are just not worth money to buy.

I have already pull all my twitter campaigns for Skinny Body Care.

And I will let my followers know not to buy from Skinny Body Care.

Have you taken a look at the size of courtney luper? Why would anyone buy from or invest in this company when obviously it doesnt work.

I wanna know why everybody is still fat, since you all claim how well it works...

contact me on newmoodagency@gmail.com i have some questions for you.
