(FranchisePick.Com) If you are a Pure Weight Loss customer who is owed a refund for prepaid Pure Weight Loss program fees, incentives and/or food products, here’re some things you can do.

Contact Your local Pure Weight Loss center

The centers are open limited hours M W F & Sat until January 4, when they close for good. If you’re owed food products they might have some on hand, or else you’ll need to get a refund request. Be nice… the employees were just as shocked as you… and they’re out of a job.

Get a Refund Request from your local Pure Weight Loss center

A Pure Weight Loss customer service representative I spoke to today recommended getting a Refund Request form from your local center and filling it out and submitting it to the corporate office in PA as soon as possible. She stated the centers are open limited hours M W F & Sat until January 4, when they close for good. Processing could take up to 8 weeks.

Contact the Pure Weight Loss corporate office

Contact the Pure Weight Loss customer service line at 1-877-524-3571 and/or email them at custservice@pureweightloss.com. (The rep I spoke to was very nice. She would be out of work after Jan. 4. When she learned I was local, she asked if I was hiring. You might want to act swiftly.)

Contact Your Credit Card Company

If you paid with a credit card, call the credit card company and explain the situation. Be ready with the specifics of what you paid for that you didn’t receive. They might be able to charge back the merchant’s account and issue you a credit. It’s an advantage of paying with credit cards.

(FranchisePick.Com) Shortly before Christmas, Pure Weight Loss (formerly L.A. Weight Loss) abruptly announced that it was closing all 400 locations nationwide by January 4. Many Pure Weight Loss customers, some of whom had signed up only the day before, learned the news by reading a sign posted on a locked Pure Weight Loss door. Many vented their frustration to hapless Pure Weight Loss center employees, who were still reeling from the news that they would be ringing in the New Year from the unemployment line.

Many Pure Weight Loss customers prepaid hundreds, even thousands, of dollar on in fees and for Pure weight Loss food products. We’re inviting Pure Weight Loss customers to answer this question in the comment section below:

Superman HitlerIn a bizarre move, the United Nations is partnering with Marvel Comics (creators of Spider-Man, The Incredible Hulk and more) to create a comic book set in a fictional war-torn country where superheroes will work with the U.N. to save the day. I’m not joking.

This is not the first time superheroes have been used as propaganda tools. According to MSNBC, superheroes were used frequently in World War II propaganda when, “superheroes were shown taking on Germany’s Nazi regime. Marvel’s Captain America, together with other characters such as Superman, were shown beating up Adolf Hitler.”

The U.N. says the comic books are meant to instruct children, “the value of international cooperation and sensitize them to problems faced in other parts of the world.”

The comic book will be distributed for free to 1 million schoolchildren in the United Says. Once the new Justice League of the U.N. and superheroes works their magic on U.S. schoolchildren, they’ll be called upon to influence kids in other parts of the world through comic book versions translated first into French then other languages.

What’s next? Will the U.N. will start doing air drops of their propaganda comic books? Is it just me who thinks this is the strangest move the U.N. could possibly make to improve their image? I can see the tagline now, “Don’t make the U.N. angry. You wouldn’t enjoy it when it’s angry.”

What do you think? A waste of time, energy and money or a brilliant, out-of-the-box branding tactic? Obviously, my vote goes to the former.
