Health Care and Personal Hygiene Products

Scammers create fake websites, use fake endorsements from public figures and of course, lie about the effectiveness of their products. The sites appear to be “news releases or broadcast” and use public figures such as Stephen Hawking and Anderson Cooper. The spoof sites are sales pages.

Research products and talk to your doctor before you purchase anything that appears as a “wonder” drug or product.

Ineffective wonder drugs and medications such as “brain pill”, CogniPrin and FlexiPrin were offered risk-free with a trial period and guarantees based on unsubstantiated health claims.

Ads displaying a “doctors seal” may not be legitimate - did the doctor really review the product, or is the doctor a real doctor?
