Give Me Your Money Suckers
There’s One Born Every Minute
I came across this online ad. The ad tag-line states: “Don’t Waste Your Money On Weight Loss Products That Don’t Work.” It should also say, “Including This One!”
Here’s the URL to the site: www.weightlossproductreviews.co.uk
On first viewing, the advert appears genuine, but further inspection reveals some unpleasant facts hidden away. For example it states in the top right hand column “As Featured On: The BBC, The Telegraph and The Sun ”. One could easily take this to mean the product has featured on a BBC program or as a feature article or advert in the The Telegraph or the Sun newspapers. This is not true.
The first part shows a young oriental girl with before and after photos. You can see she has lost weight. The copy suggests the oriental girl lost weight drinking the wonderful tea and using the effective colon cleansing product.
Further down the page a section marked Reviews suggests 14 individuals contacted the company with comments or questions. Once again this is not so. Its all fabricated.
Scroll down to the bottom of page and check out the small print under “Terms And Conditions”, which I have reproduced here in full:

“The story and comments depicted on this site and the person depicted in the story are not real”.
As you can see its all fabricated to sell the products.
Here’s a shot of weightlossproductreviews site:
Here’s a screenshot of the Terms And Conditions taken from the site:
If you now check out the products referred to that helped this fictitious girl lose 5 stone and 4 pounds in under 15 weeks, you will see the two products will cost you way more than you bargained for.
The colon cleanse costs £65 + £65 = £130 (around $202 at today’s exchange rate).
Here’s a shot of the Advanced Colon Cleanse site:
The wonderful Cho Yung Tea costs £60, and you will receive another month supply each month till you cancel.
Here’s a shot of the Cho Yung Tea site:
These two wonderful products with extremely suspect marketing will cost you the princely sum of £190 for one month’s supply.
If you don’t cancel the Wonderful Cho Yung Tea order within the 14 day trial period and allow it to run for 12 months it will only cost you: £720.
Add the cost of the Advanced Colon Cleanse: £720 + £130 = £850.
Yes it totals a staggering £850.
Believe.
