Pills like this are loosely regulated, and a lot of them have some ephedra or psuedoephedra in them. Given that there's some data showing potential heart problems that develop from longterm use, I would stay away.

It should also be a big, red warning sign with bells and whistles that they aren't telling you (the consumer) what the active ingredients are. There could easily be things that you are allergic to. There's also the issue that the name of the company implies foreign manufacturing which means that even the folks selling them to you have no good way of knowing what is or isn't in them. It has "scam" written all over it, althought I obviously don't have the full story.

There are a bunch of reputable weight loss supplements out there that are affordable and work. You need to use them as directed and make sure that you stay off them when you are supposed to. This one just seems to hokey to be worth messing with.
