I don't think you're a scammer |

Its difficult to tell anymore - but usually its all about the grammar. The scammers tend to botch up their English really badly, both on the phone (when they call non stop) and on here. Yours is perfectly fine.
I hope you didn't get scammed. If you did, welcome to the club. I'll never forget the feeling of throwing $250 right down the toilet, twice - last year.
I wonder if someone on the inside took your phone call and pocketed the money themself. |

Well at least I agree with you on that one  .....I'm not American and my English is not perfect. I'm from Monaco (hence my nick name Monaco and plc for abbreviation for place) so my first language is French. Well I was actually born in Brazil but lived most of my life in Monaco before moving to the US so my first languages are Portuguese/French...hence why my grammar is not perfect.
I don't think they pocketed the money....my card was already billed and the name under the billing is Goldenisland RX....I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the pills are the real deal.
The more I think about it and read what people posted about them is that when I called the guy that picked up the call really wanted to do a sale, since I told him I would not order if they needed any doctor information, and he went ahead and took my order and told me I could have 90 pills for $299.
Well that's when I got really excited and thought the deal was only offered when you called because they didn't offer it online so I went ahead and made a post about it here. I'll see what happens when the pills get here |

Well I hope you didn't get ripped off and if you did, since you used your cc, you should be able to get your money back. Alot of scam sites refuse to take credit cards for that very reason. I don't want to scare you, but even though they told you they were shipping from a US pharmacy, the name Goldenisland is not very American sounding, so I got curious & googled it. The first hit is not very encouraging - it's a site titled "Way of Became Spammer" - but I honestly cannot make out heads or tails on its purpose. Whatever the outcome, let us know because you could save someone else from getting ripped off.
Good luck & I sincerely hope it works out for you. |

zombiemommie, that is a good thing that you have received shipments by DHL, my orders have never come via DHL.
monacoplc, after reading your other post I believe you are probably telling the truth, I think the way your first post was written just sounded untrue.
It makes me so mad that they sell different quantities on any given day.  Please keep us updated on what you receive and how it works for you. |

I found this forum when I went online and searched endlessly for a non prescription website that would sell phentermine and I found a link of an old thread in this forum. I read a lot of posts on this site and a lot of the posts were about people trying to find a place that had good prices so when I stumbled upon a post that a user said she used us-pills I went to their site. Like I posted earlier on this thread, I just thought it was a good deal and wanted to share.
Why anyone would think it was a sales pitch is beyond me. If it was a scam....oh well....I'll deal with it and go back to the drawing board and try to find another site....it happened before and is probably not the last time it will happen. I am just just like many of you here....just trying to find a place where I can buy phentermine online.
So for those who took the time to reply and give me actual information about the company and their past experience with them I thank you. It helps a lot knowing what others went through with us-pills.
and for those that posted as if I was scammer I have nothing to say to you. May be know your facts before accusing someone....I simply posted something I thought it was going to help others.
And yes like I said I will post back when I receive the meds and can say they are legit. I did call DHL with the tracking number they gave me and it was confirmed the package was on its way. |
Sorry  ! I really hope that it works out well for you! |

| The billing name is the same I got and I ordered online. Maybe you have the real stuff coming and this is just some weird glitch. Also, your English is excellent. |

| that is indeed strange that you got 90 counts. I emailed them and they said it's not possible. Their only offer is 30 counts and they do not take orders by phone. The only deal they have is $10 for refill orders. I really hope you did not get scammed and you'll receive your medication |

Haven't posted for awhile, I also got that call offering the 90 pills,  I know that many are questioning Goldenislandrx, FYI, they are the headquarter/disp for many rx's. They confirm the orders for US pills and many other rx's online, They determine how the shipping will go to different States. FedX, DHL, UPS...Many people think that the rx's that you deal with online are actual pharmacies/not so. Just company names: Same goes for superiordrugs, many online rx's use them. PBusters, dependable scripts, etc. example of titles people use to get a company started. Many of those calls are coming straight from Goldenisland (company sup/owners: Gaberial, Michael, ringing any bells).  Island accents, and if you call back to find out about the static of your order, you will more than likely be talking to one of them. You may also be asked if you wish to cancel that order/then in the next breathe be asked if you would like to place an order with them. That is were that phone order comes from, Or rx order becomes static pending, the sad thing is our phone numbers and names are given to them by the online rx that we use. How do I no this, I've had dealings with them all. Not all good! Just saying, just adding my 2 cents worth and what monacoplc is saying is true, DHL was my last source for delivery. Card charged by Goldenisland...Not just once, 3 or 4 times using 3 different online rx's. |

| Please beware of the scam artists that are some how receiving information when ordering from US-Pills. I placed an order online and within minutes received 3 different phone calls telling me my credit card was declined and that I would have to give it to them again over the phone. The third call told me to send it via Western Union which I obviously have not intention of doing. Their website also alerts potential buyers from such a scam but these people could be pretty convincing if you have not seen the warning on the website. Reminder - never give out your personal information over the phone. I hope I haven't been scammed by this company. Has anyone recently received a legit order from this company? |

I ordered from them last Tues. and received my order Fri.
Right after I placed the order, someone named Mike called to confirm.
It made me a little uneasy, but he didn't ask for cc info, just name and address and to repeat what I ordered.
He told me to call back the following day and they would give me a tracking #. I did , and I was able to track it (ups/had to sign)
The pills are K25's. I'm not crazy about them.
No appetite---which is fine---but no extra energy, either.
I normally would have passed on spending that much for 30, but it was like a knee jerk reaction to dr. b's email. |

DeeBee, I have been waiting on a order to come from them also and I was wondering if that is phentermine or adipex that you ordered? |

I finally received my pills yesterday and they worked. They are the A-159's and I opened all 3 bottles to make sure. So I'm really relieved I was not scammed on this one
I'm pretty sure what happened was a glitch. They also changed their website. There are no longer 2 (800) phone numbers to call but just one. I did receive a couple of calls too from different area codes asking me to replace an order and one call the guy said my credit card was declined. I hung up but it makes me wonder who and why they release our phone numbers too.
Also, I found out today that there is a doctor within a mile from my home that prescribes phentermine and he's a family doctor that has a weight loss practice as well. I was reading through a post about Dr. B and it had a link on phen-pro doctors. I called a doctor located in Newport Beach, which is about an hour away from me and they suggested the doctor that is located near me. I was sooooo happy I made an appointment for next week since I wanted to start prozac as well but didn't want to pay the horrendous prices I see online. His name is Dr. Broomberg (what a coincidence another Dr. B. !!!!!).
He does not do prescriptions over the phone so you have to live near San Diego area in CA. That is a bummer for most of you but if you live close enough here's his info:
Dr. Barry Broomberg
6515 La Jolla Blvd
La Jolla, CA 92037
(858) 454-7157
Pitty that I didn't find out about this doctor before I placed my order with us-pills but now it looks like I'm never going to need to place an online order again
It is going to be my first time trying the phen-pro approach. How many of you have been on the phen-pro program and for how long? Does it work better than simply taking the phentermine by itself? |

It's the generic phen. Adipex is too expensive for me.....actually, the phen is too expensive for me, too! |
