HERBALIFE SCAMMING

I bought the Herbalife Thermogenics program ($128.00 for 1 month supply,
which turned out to be less than a 1 month supply) a little over a month
ago.  

I was assured by the Korean gentleman that sold it to me that I would see
a weight loss of 15 lbs. in the 3rd week (no or little result the 1st and
2nd weeks). 

So the 3rd week came and went--I did exactly as I was told throughout the
program, and ended up actually gaining weight, even though I stayed
within the 1200-1500 calories recommended per day.  

When the refund time (30 days money back guarantee) was coming close, my
distributor made himself scarce--called up and told me a lie, that he was
going to be  out of the country for a week.  Thru some subterfuge, I found
his cell phone #, called and told him that I was dissatisfied with the
program.  He has not gotten in touch with me, and the payback period is
over.  

Any advice?
