Re: Jeanie... Unfortunately, a BBB rating does not mean anything anymore.

Here are some of the latest complaints filed against them:

5/22/2011 Problems with Product/Service
1/10/2011 Advertising/Sales Issues
5/31/2010 Billing/Collection Issues
12/21/2009 Problems with Product/Service
10/28/2009 Problems with Product/Service

10/9/2009 Problems with Product/Service

Vemma PAYS for a BBB "Accreditation", which means they pay an annual fee and most, if not all, of the complaints are swept under the rug.

A few years ago, the BBB, which was once a great consumer protection advocate, underwent changes and is now just a scam in itself. So, the A+ Rating they have (despite all the complaints)is bought and paid for.

What is truthful, however, are the comments made by George, below. (VERY important and compelling review)

I guess since there was absolutely no way Jeanie could dispute the facts, she made a very sad attempt to divert attention from the facts and hope that a paid rating would help lure more people in.

Unless I'm mis-reading something, the BBB gives this company an A+ rating.

Here are some truths about Vemma:

1) The "clinicals" they tout are actually NOT done in Massachusetts as claimed, but were part of an amateur study by a couple of students in China. The main clinical also added other ingredients besides the actual Vemma formula.

2) You will hear claims ranging from "We are endorsed by Dr Oz" to: "Dr Oz WOULD endorse us, but he is not allowed to endorse anything" Both are lies. He does NOT endorse Vemma, and he IS allowed to endorse products, which he does constantly, including Weight Watchers. He briefly mentioned Verve during the closing credits of one of his shows as a payback for a $250,000 donation by unfortunate Vemma Brand Partners to his Healthcorps organization.

3)Do the math! The Vemma compensation plan is terrible! The binary structure of the plan is promoted as "building half your business for you", but that could not be further from the truth. The truth is that if you get someone to sign up, and they spend $120 per month on autoship and never cancel, that person is worth $7.34 per month to you. So, how many people do you need in order to make a full time living?

4) The product is nothing more than a cheap multivitamin suspended in water and SUGAR (usually caking at the bottom of the bottle) with a small amount of Mangosteen juice which is readily available on Amazon and other places for a fraction of the cost.

5) BK Boreyko and his "former" company New Vision were fined by the FDA and sued by another company for a combination of fraudulent claims and other illegal activity.

6) The "top earners" in Vemma are only top earners because they were lured away from other MLM companies and they conned their downlines to also leave the former companies and join Vemma. NONE of them STARTED in Vemma and became top earners.

Now, a bunch of desperate responses to this post will soon follow by Vemma reps in a sad attempt to dispute these true facts. All I can say is, do the research yourself. Dig deeply enough and you can find all of this out on your own. Do not believe them (and do not beleive me for that matter). Take the initiative to learn the truth yourself before you waste your time and money on this scam.

@Bob Smith where is your proof that the Mangosteen fruit is not even a good antioxidant. Did you Google the Mangosteen fruit and got tons of information that proves that you DON'T KNOW WHAT IN HELL YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT! There are a ton of Doctors and Scientists proves the health benefits of the Mangosteen fruit and its pericorp rind. Vemma's mangosteen fruit sits at the top of the mangosteen fruit juice. However, the main product called Vemma is health supplement. The other products like Thirst and Verve falls more in line with the juice category since you can drink those in lieu of other sports drinks and supplements. Verve is not making a lot of young folks healthy and wealthy. Doctor Mehmet Oz has featured Verve on his show. He even stands in front of his favorite snack and pick-me of the day.

Is Aspartame really safe for you? It is a FDA approved food additive. It is claimed to cause brain tumors and cancer...

@Bobby Jordan, you need to get your facts straight. Oh, you do not have any and that is why you are saying dumb stuff. There have been studies done on the fruit of products like Vemma. Doctors are using the products to help their patients out where their medicines have done worst or nothing at all to help the patient.

If the only thing a person have to say is Negative stuff about anything then that person is not worth listening to. For one they are Very, Very closed minded. You can hear it in the tone of their writing. They offer you nothing not even facts to prove their negative rant. If you listen to these Negative people then you are following a fool. If anything, you should do the opposite of what they are saying. You will be a winner always.

Vemma is an excellent home based business opportunity with health products that works. If you take vitamins supplements then Vemma's products will benefit you. You can take for health benefits and if you decide to share the products with others then you can earn great income. This can be your little hobby that can pay you huge dividends. It will eventually pay you like a global business the more you introduce the products to others. The products works and the business works as well.

@ research canada: There is iron in vemma. Obviously you can't read. Also we don't say Dr. Oz endorses us. We can't. But he does come to our conventions. Talks to us. We get to meet him and we donated over a million dollars to his charity.

@F Mangape: Vemma does not only benefit top leaders. That would be a scam. Since I am sure you do not understand this industry please note that they only get paid on their efforts.
Also many people have risen through the ranks. This system doesn't only benefit top people. Please get your facts right.
Work hard? you have to be kidding. You have to work hard if you want to run any type of business or job. Also, it is not expensive. You do not need any capitol. There is no fee to join.
also they do not force you to buy anything or consume anything. You can consume it if you want, sell it if you want or give it away if you want.
I wish people would think logically about things before assuming. your only going to make a joke of yourself.

Greg   San Clemente

To lisa from phoenix above...
We do not solicit products. Just because you saw a charge on her account doesn't mean its a scam. Furthermore how do you know she doesn't just like the product and consuming it?
Also it is against the law to say you will get rich quick.
There is no such thing as get rich quick. If that is what she is looking for then she and you best go play the lottery.
This business takes hard work, commitment, dedication, and leadership.
Before you go around calling company's a scam research it first and figure out why. We have an A+ rating with the BBB. Clinically studied formulas, have legitimate non-paid celebrity spokes people. Along with the only company that is a sponsor for an NBA Team!
Please educate yourself and understand that this business isn't a get rich quick. Also think about this. Every single business is a pyramid. People who work hard are at the top people who don't are at the bottom. That goes for this business as well as any other company in the world. Why do you think CEO's make so much money? They work hard and have a team that works for them. If you want to make more become more valuable. And by looking at some of these posts some (including yours) are not educated enough.

You're better off taking a placebo. The near $100 dollars per month you would be spending on the Vemma product, might as well just flush down the toilet. I won't even get in to the business model. You won't make any kind of money for the time involved in trying to build on the pyramid for a product that is not any better than buying a bottle of multivitamins with anti-oxidants for 80% less. Avoid.

I have recently become a new brand partner and only have great things to say! Financially it is amazing, the people are great and the drinks do wonders.

Lisa   Phoenix

I just checked my 18-year old daughter's account that we use to pay her tuition. I found a charge from this company. She was solicited to sell this product. She thinks she will get rich quick---THIS IS A SCAM!

Amazing that you can learn more from comments than the article My experience with Verve is that you can start noticing the difference in energy in just a few sips. It works immediately, or faster than you think!

Teddy's BBB comment is completely false. Vemma has an A+ rating with the better business bureau and this can be verified by looking them up on the BBB Org website. There actually have been a total of 11 complaints and EVERY one of them were resolved. Does 11 complaints sound bad? Maybe for a small, local business, but it is actually incredible for a 100 million dollar company! As can be witnessed by reading some of the ridiculous "complaints" below, when you are a large company, you are bound to get some crackpot complaints. Just for the sale of comparison.... in the same time period, Walmart received 497 complaints.

Teddy   NC

See the BBB for information on this company:
BBB concerns with the industry in which this business operates.
Failure to respond to 4 complaint(s) filed against business1 serious complaint(s) filed against business Overall complaint history with BBB does not have sufficient background information on this business. BBB made at least two requests for background information from business.

Enough to make me stay away!

I have been following the new Vemma bod-e product online since I heard about it around New Year's. Many of the people posting on Vemma's facebook page have reported huge weight loss in a very short period of time. I did not think it was healthy to lose so much weight so quickly, and assume many people are using it as a meal replacement in lieu of using the plan as it was intended. There also seems to be many problems with the Vemma bod-e website that is available once you place an order. I also cannot find any information on maintenance after you lose the weight. And I really don't care who endorses the product because it's up to the individual to make it work. I would like to see what happens in six months when all these people who lost a ton of weight initially decide not to pay for the product anymore, thus gaining all the weight- and more, back.

@Research Canada
I can tell you right now that Dr. Oz is contractually obligated to not "publicly" endorse ANY product. This is due to Oprah Winfreys stringent rules on product endorsement. (Dr. Oz works for Oprah) Apparently "Dr Phil" endorsed a product a few years ago (I do not know what the product was) and the product turned out to be bad. Oprah felt it was a Black Eye for her company and thus made it a rule that anyone contracted under her may not endorse any products...only her company. Dr.Oz mentioned Vemma in the 2009 issue of Esquire Magazine, speaks at Vemma's annual convention in Las Vegas, endorses Chris Powell who is a Vemma Brand Partner and basically running Vemma's weight loss program "bod-e" and also makes appearances at Vemma's Health Corp functions. Believe me...Dr Oz very much endorses Vemma products and the company, he simply can't do it publicly due to contract issues.

I am currently taking the Vemma Bode. I started taking it because my two of my aunt and my mother all dropped in the range of 6-16 pounds within the first week. I bought my 4 week pack right after they weighed in.

I have been doing the program for about eleven days (added to eating properly ((basically following the exact set up of low carb high carb days that is instructed)) ) and I have also incorporated working out (and NOT the ten minutes a day that is recommended for the first two weeks, I work out for an hour at a time at my local gym).

Well to date I have not shed a single pound. NOT A ONE! I am baffled since almost everyone around me that picks up this darn Vemma bottle is shedding pounds like crazy!

On the other hand, my energy level HAS improved. I am WAAYYY more active and have a lot more stamina than I used to. And the Vemma rest does help me to sleep at night. So, 11 days in and still seeing the scale say 240! I'll keep yall posted! :)
