One man's life with hypothyroidism

Is PimpomProducts.com safe to use?

8th November 2018 Paul Chris Jones

One place to buy NDTs online is a Thai website called  PimpomProducts.com.

A quick glance at their front page shows they're selling a variety of NDTs, including Thiroyd, Thyroid-S and TR T-Man.

But is Pimpom Products trustworthy?

Scamadviser says Pimpom Products is safe to use

According to scamadviser.com, the site has a "high trust rating" and "looks safe to use". Scamadvisor.com bases its opinion on "many factors, such as the ownership details, location, popularity and other sites relating to reviews, threats, phishing etc."

Their website is insecure

I tried going through the payment process. Firefox gave a warning about the site being insecure:

This warning was still there as I was typing in my credit card details. That can't be good.

The site allows you to pay with four different ways: Visa, Mastercard, Western Union and Moneygram. It would be safer to pay with a service like PayPal, but the site doesn't allow that.

Hacked cards

A few people have told me that their debit/credit card was hacked after ordering from Pimpom Products.

I ordered from PimPom and within 2 days my credit card was hacked. (Debby at thyroidpaul.com)

They change their user name every few weeks and my friend was hacked here. (L Heaps at thyroidpaul.com)

Blocked bank cards

People have also told me that after ordering from Pimpom Products, their bank blocked the transaction.

i had to phone my bank here in england because they halted the transaction going through, thinking someone was using my card abroad so you have to speak to the fraud team at your bank so they know its you making the purchase. (Helen on thyroidpaul.com)

My cards came up blocked even though they were not so no joy on my reorder" (S Evans at thyroidpaul.com).

You need to notify your bank in advance" (L Heaps at thyroidpaul.com)

Reviews

Finally, here's some reviews I've found of PimpomProducts.com across the internet. I'll start with the good reviews:

Legit! I also purchase Thiroyd from pimpom, and yes, customer service is great and the medication is better than Armour. (A user on Scamadvisor.com:)

The are the real deal and legitimate. I have been ordering Thiroyd (proper spelling from them). It is the best thyroid medicine I have used in 36 years. I use less of this medicine than Armour for a better effect. They answer emails, too. (Another user on Scamadvisor.com:)

Order from Pim Pom products, I’m in Australia and a lot order from them. Though you can only buy a three months supply at a time, without a doctors script for more. If you order say, 1000 tabs (which is what I successfully ordered 14 months ago) then they are sent to you in three month batches. Silly new border security laws! Pim Pom site explains all this. (Julia on thyroidpaul.com)

buying the thiroyd product for the first time from pimpom products was a bit of a nightmare, their check out area isnt very good only notifying the company when you purchase, you get no notification reciept email, i had to email pimpom products and that causes stress until they get back to you-their is a time difference as they are in the far east..eventually they did get in touch and they were very good plus polite in reassuring me that they would send the product when their shopping cart company had released them the funds..it isnt so simple because you cant pay them through paypal, they use another paycart [...] Two weeks after making the purchase the items arrived here in england, no issues with the post..they are a good company but id just like to tell people making the purchase from them is long winded..once funds go through though they post quickly and send you a picture of your item boxed up ready to send!! (Helen on thyroidpaul.com)

Not all the reviews of Pimpom Products are good, however. Here are some of the bad reviews:

I’m having trouble with pimpomproduct as well. I ordered 1000 Thiroyd and paid through Western Union, waited one month, nothing. Emailed them a few times. Finally there was a reply apologising and saying they will add 250 as compensation. Got a package from them, guess what? It was just the 250, no sign of my initial order of 1000. They already took my money too, there has to be a way to report them as a scam. (shaolinsoul36 at thyroidpaul.com)

I do NOT recommend ordering Thiroid from PimPom Products. Normally I take Nature Throid with my doctor’s prescription, but they’ve had shortages recently. I ordered from PimPom and within 2 days my credit card was hacked. (Debby at thyroidpaul.com)

i ordered from pimpom 2 years ago and no troubles because I used paypal… went to order a few months ago and they do not take pay pal any longer and said only credit cards and the payments are going through china and a bank out of NY…skeptical now (Sandra at thyroidpaul.com)

Conclusion

Is Pimpom Products safe to use? I'm not sure, but I would be careful when ordering from their site.

Comments

I have used Pimpom Thyroid-S for about three years and have never had a problem. If a problem arises, I think it's due to incompetence more than dishonesty. To be honest, I would take the risk anyway, as going back to Levo is unthinkable.
