Common Health Scams: A Summary descriptive image for common health scams on the internet

  1. Ingredient Labels: Scammers often list misleading or incomplete ingredients. These do not match the product’s actual contents. They may omit required ingredient panels or use artificial colors without disclosure.
  2. Fake Reviews: Many scam products feature fake reviews. Review sections may lack genuine functionality or verification. This is a common red flag.
  3. Deceptive Pricing: Products may display inconsistent pricing information. They may show different prices for a single item versus multiple items. Tactics like countdown timers may create false urgency.
  4. No Manufacturer or Contact Information: Scam products often lack key details, such as the manufacturer’s name or address. They may omit FDA-required labeling needed for tracking and verification.
  5. Use of Stock Photos for “Medical Advisors”: Scammers often include fake endorsements from “medical advisors” who are actually stock images or actors, adding false credibility to their claims.
