But I have to admit I giggled when the headline, "You WILL Have the Hottest Body & the Dream Life" came up. It was that or sob hopelessly for hours on end.

I ordered a free trial thinking I could cancel within the trial period, I ordered it just to see what the hell they are feeding young women, far younger than me, these days. I don't diet, I eat healthily and could not believe the claims they were making, I haven't tried it but have shared the little 'pretty pink' patches with some friends to guffaw at. But, how to cancel? I cannot find the information anywhere.... not on the site, not on the packet and I have just received an email saying my months supply has been shipped out, which means I am paying for that months supply! I have a feeling the joke's on me! Can anyone help?

Hope fully you've sorted it by now but if not call this number to cancel 0845 603 6469

I noticed their pictures of users of the pink patch appear to be photoshopped. I'm sure those girls are as skinny as they look but the lighting on the patches themselves is off like it was put in after-the-fact.

Also I find it interesting that it's not available in CA. You'd think that's where their biggest market would be. Something to do with the processing time of hoodia?

Hey im 16 and i know what a struggle it is to lose weight! im technically overweight by 7 pounds however people always tell me that i look good. but that doesnt always help, i constantly feel fat and wish there was some kind of "miracle" patch that would help me lose wight. but one thing i ask myself when i look at these prodcts is why, if there so brilliant, arent they stacked on shop shelves?

Hi I have a question, of all of you that have ordered the patch has anyone actually tried it? Did you have any resutlts please let me know! Thanks!

Posted by: Loralie | April 21, 2008 5:39 PM

hi,

i'm trying it and it seems to work. I'm short, 8.6lbs after 2 days i lost 2lbs.
Dont really mind if its all in my head, it's cheaper than that extra sandwich!
So far so good, this is a short term thing for me to get me into my bridesmaid dress. I wouldnt want to do it long term. Goes without saying that if you go back to your old eating habits you'll put the weight back on. I'm using it to get me to the start line...then it's up to me to maintain it.

Posted by: sarah | April 28, 2008 12:42 PM

Hi guys, I ordered it and was really positive that it was going to help. I'm not overwieght but do snack a lot and thought this might help 'curb my cravings'. Unfortunately it made absolutely no difference whatsoever, was still just as hungry as i always was!! sorry to say it guys but really the pink patch is just a waste a money and doesn't work.

Posted by: Emily | May 6, 2008 10:02 AM

hiya anyone got the number off the pink patch thing wanna cancel as im scared loads of money will pour out of my account please!!!!!! please!!!!! please!!!!!!! HELP!!!!!!.....X

Posted by: lisa | May 7, 2008 11:36 PM

Hi there - I have just been on the site and before completing the order form it states

You are not obligated to purchase after you receive your free 6 day supply and you can cancel anytime within the 14-day trial period. If you would like to cancel your membership, simply follow the cancellation instructions included with your order. Even if you decide to cancel, please keep the FREE 6 day supply as our gift to you. No commitments, no hassles, cancel anytime. Please note this special offer is limited to one free trial of the the Pink Patch per customer.

So from this I am guessing you should cancel within the first 14 days!! Not a lot of help I know if this has expired for you.

Posted by: Yasmin | May 16, 2008 7:36 PM

DON'T EVEN ORDER THE STUFF - they take your money and then return about £5.00 less when you complain.

Posted by: Lydia dR | May 17, 2008 11:30 PM

DON'T EVEN ORDER THE SAMPLE - they get your banking details and then send you the rubbish and deduct £40.40 and then they only return £35.95 when you complain.

If they do this to everyone, work out how much they are getting for nothing.

Posted by: Lydia | May 17, 2008 11:32 PM

Ok, I ordered the pink patch in a moment of insanity a few days ago. I have now spent the past few days reading a lot of bad press, and completely regret ordering and feel quite an idiot. I have mailed them today to cancel my order before my free sample arrives. My mail returned undeliverable, what do I do now do you think I will still get automatically charged for a months supply? HELP!!!!!

Posted by: Nicky | June 1, 2008 7:29 PM

omg!! i kept seeing the advert for the pink patch and i am dying to lose weight so i though i would give the free sample a ago after all whats a couple of £'ss delievery if it works just to reassure myself i read alot of feedback which seemed all good even a weekly log from someone who tried and tested the patch. i now read this and having only just ordered my trial am wanting to cancel straight away some say it worked some say they called and cancelled and there was no problem and some say they stole alll your money and want allow you to cancel help!!!!

Posted by: nikki | June 1, 2008 11:29 PM

Hi guys,

First of all, I know it seems like a big scam - and to be honest it probably is all in ones head when they use the patch. I ordered the free trial and as soon as I got the sample, I read the enclosed leaflet which gives you the email address - you email to cancel with your order number and shortly after you receive an email back saying all has been cancelled.

As for the patch, I found it really helped so ordered a months supply. I have found that it really does help me curb my cravings, I don’t snack as much but that again could just be all in my head, but it has been a good kick start for me.

Please note – I am definitely not recommending this as it is not a miracle. But would like to point out that if you ever buy something - ALWAYS read the small print. I knew about this subscription before purchasing the patch and made sure I could cancel the subscriptions once I got the sample, therefore I did.

Here is the email to cancel: customercare@thepinkpatch.co.uk

Hope this helps
xx

Just a quick note hoping to put some of your minds at rest.

I too ordered the 6 day free pink patch trial(costing £1.95 p&p) this morning after reading good reports about it. I was all hopefull untill i got to this site and i started to panic at the thought of it being a major money scam!!!

At 10:30am today i sent two e-mails stating my order number and asking to cancel my subscription and for them to confirm that no other money would leave my account other than the £1.95 that i had agreed to. 12:15pm arrives and still no reply!

So about 5 minutes ago i rang 0845 603 6469 a company which is called 'Curb your Cravings' and i was put through to a girl called Sian who pulled up my order using the number given by The Pink Patch company and confirmed that my subscription would defnately be cancelled.

I am feeling much better now but i wont feel 100% untill my next bank statement arrives and i see no money leaving as a result of the £35.95 first month subscription.

I will be more wary of things like this in the future.

Posted by: Joanne | June 12, 2008 12:33 PM

Hello Everyone,
I ordered PINK PATCH for my girlfriend. She didn’t like it at all so i wanted to cancell it but I couldn’t. Tried the phone no. but couldn’t get through to the customer service, so e-mailed them which I know will not make any difference but good as an evidence.
Now who so ever is within the 14 days period the only way you can save your money is by calling up your bank and canceling you card, by saying that you think that this company is Bogus/Fraud. The card will be cancelled right away and they will be unable to process any payments. Also if you have internet banking log on to your account and cancel the direct debit, also inform the Bank customer service to cancel it.

Hope this helps…….Best of luck

Hiya just want to say that pink patch works differently for everyone and for me it seems to be good news. I just started using is and immediately felt less craving for food. I actually forced myself to eat a tuna sandwich this morning and since then I have nit felt any craving or had the appetite to eat anything else. I think for those who have not tried it please try and see how it works for you because your body dont work the same as others and what might work for you might not work for someone else so its best you try it because reading all this did not put me off one bit

Posted by: Nadia John | June 17, 2008 4:43 PM

just to say i ordered the free trial 2 days ago and i have cancelled via email and unsubsribed my email account with them, as i obviously want to try the free trial before getting the months supply.

i am now worried after reading some of these comments however i will go into my bank and see if they can prevent the payment going out and then i will see how the free trial goes.

Posted by: tabby | June 18, 2008 6:49 PM

Hey guys, just to let you know, if its not too late, do not cancel the e-mail that you received from the pink patch saying about your free trial. If you still have that e-mail, reply to it, cancelling your future orders. You should get a conformation e-mail saying that your future orders have been cancelled, if you don't phone 0845 603 6469 as soon as possible to cancel your 1 month pack or any other packs. The phone number should put you through to "curb your cravings" and i talked to a girl called Heidi and all she did was take my name and cancelled any other orders.

Turns out that the pink patch thing took £39.95 off of me for subscribing and for the month pack, when i cancelled just under 2 weeks after the sent the trial pack. I still can't believe i paid about £40 on something i don't want, its the biggest waste of money iv ever spent, and im a student, so now, my bank is officially empty!

p.s i was broke anyway, but the pink patch made it worse.

Posted by: Danielle | June 23, 2008 9:41 AM

Has anyone thought about the fact that all this scare mongering is probably the reason why no one can get through, high call volumes etc....everytime I have emailed them I have had a reply, delayed, but a reply none the less, also the product clearly states its not for under 18s, which is good enough!

Wether it works on a psycological level is likely but everything in life involves psycological subjectiveness - even slimmers world!

So if your over 18 and curious, try it, I found I didn't eat more or less than i normally do and to my shock I had lost 3lbs over the period of a day and a half (please note: people have different metabolisms, so dont judge by the next persons results)

Sorry for the lengthly post, its just my opinion!

Posted by: carly | June 25, 2008 1:26 PM

I've tried it and I think it's amazing. Worked really well for me. The trick is not to order the 'free sample' I just ordered a months supply and that was that, no more charging of the credit card. Fantastic.

Posted by: Natty | June 26, 2008 11:45 PM

this is a complete money making scam, they told me to send them back with a certain amount of time and then my money would be refunded. however this did not happen and then they sent me a 2nd pack again charging my account 40 pounds. It is a complete rip off DO NOT GO NEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by: carly | July 3, 2008 7:20 PM

on day 3 of the pink patch and noticed no change at all has not curbed my cravings and i havent lost any weight so far. will stick out the trial pack but not feeling very optimistic.

Posted by: Sharon | July 20, 2008 4:38 PM

I have just emailed them because they sent me an email saying that i could end my subscription so i did and yet still got £40 took out of my account and an email saying my order has been dispatched and i cant cancel as it has already been sent. so i have emailed them back asking for my money back and saying that i will be sending the pink patch straight back. if i dont get my money back i am going to watchdog! i am not happy as i cancelled my subscription with them over email.

Posted by: Natalie | July 22, 2008 11:35 AM

hi there my names anna i ordered the free trial of the pink patch and dont feel much different other than the fact i cant eat a full meal on them. dont pay all that money for them they are a third of the price on ebay i bought a months supply from ebay for 7.50 including p+p.

They do have a different name mine are called 24/7 trim plus. They are exactly the same though.

As for cancelling my subscription to the pink patch its just not happening for me ive email and my mailer deamon keeps sending them back to me telling me the email address is invalid. its ridiculos if one penny come out of my bank im heading towards trading standards! aswel ass watchdog!

Posted by: Annalee jackson | August 9, 2008 9:18 AM

Hi, just wondering if anyone had any joy in getting their money back from this scam. I ordered with my credit card and they had charged me for two months before I noticed. I have since cancelled it but because I did not read their sneaky small print I am liable for the charges - is this legal?

Posted by: Karol | August 11, 2008 11:08 PM

just phoned the help line asking to cancell, was put on to a girl who then said to me "one minuet then babe" does this show how proffesional they are? its a scam. i got a child and can not afford this so fingers crossed hey actually cancelled it

Posted by: lizzi | October 2, 2008 10:22 AM

the pink patch is just a waste of money. i'm going to watchdog!

Posted by: Sarah | October 11, 2008 1:48 PM

i tried the pink patch. i ordered the free trial. cancelled it and bought more on ebay. so far i have lost 23 pound and ive had it for three weeks. the first few days i had severe headaches and my first period on the patch was awful.however, i believe it is all psychological.im eating less naturally because i know im dieting. the patch does nothing physically to affect weightloss but as a placebo it is quiet useful.seriously though if you are going to try it buy from ebay! a cheaper way to waste money.

Posted by: danielle watkins | November 2, 2008 3:54 PM

We recently did some research in to this and found that on the whole it did not work. Many people don't seem to trust it. We also got the Pink Patch to defend themselves which makes interesting reading...
