Stupidest Spam of the Week Alcoholic Weight Loss

There are vast numbers of scammers targeting weight loss.

The Western world in particular has many millions of people desperate to lose weight and the standard methods of eat less and exercise more are hard work, so is there an easier alternative?

The scammers offer magic ingredients from the Himalayas, secret mystical rituals, long lost remedies, tricks using water or other household items and more ridiculous methods.

Plus of course there are the conspiracy theorists who claim it’s the government fault for adding something to the water to make everyone fat and denying that the proposed magic remedies work and so on.

It’s all pathetic lies from greedy scammers after your money.

As is this message “More than 12,000 overweight people have been able to supercharge their metabolism by a whopping 470%…  All thanks to a popular alcoholic drink.”

The scammer claims this magic answer has been proved by 18 universities including Princeton.

It they had found any such thing, then it would have been newspaper headlines – but that hasn’t happened.

By the way, your metabolism generates heat to keep you warm., If your metabolism was supercharged by 470% you would very rapidly overheat and die. Not advised.

Stupidest Spam of the Week Tinnitus Cure

Lots of scammers latch onto tinnitus as an illness suffered by large numbers of people and with no obvious cure in most cases.

So, they offer some magical instant remedy.

This latest one claims “Big Pharma and supplement producers don’t understand how this one researcher has finally figured out how to stop your tinnitus”.

“Doctors say this is the most important discovery of the century”.

You just have to watch a video to see the answer.

Obviously, if someone had discovered a magic answer to tinnitus, it would on the news, in the newspapers and everyone would know about it, rather than a scammer sending out mass emails to unknown people claiming an unknown magical effect invented by an army veteran.

Pathetic.

The American Natural Superfood Scam

There are hundreds if not thousands of health drinks on the market., containing every plant and fruit you’ve ever heard of and a lot of strange sounding stuff, promised to be a miracle health supplement.

One such drink making a lot of fuss recently is called American Natural Superfood.

This includes Pea protein, Spirulina, Chlorella, Barley, Wheat Grass, Probiotics, CoQ10, Organic Vegetables, Organic Fruits, Cinnamon, Turmeric, Acerola Cherry, Flax Seeds, Chia Seeds, Cocoa Powder, Kelp, Milk Thistle, Dandelion Root, Digest Enzymes, Ginseng, Ginger, and Aloe Vera.

At least that what the label says and it’s about $60 per kilogram so it’s not cheap stuff.

The latest scam messages say

“YOUR ORDER WILL BE CANCELLED”

This is the typical fake shock headline which then leads into an explanation of the opposite.

It goes on

Attention

We have reserved one free sample of American Natural Superfood for everyone on our list

The problem is that people are ordering 3,4 or even 10 samples for friends and family.

So, we’re running out of samples quickly

Please go here before it’s too late and claim your free 3-day sample

If you don’t I’ll cancel your order and give it to someone else.

Some of the emails are just dumb Marketing and do have free samples (you pay enough for postage of course to cover the cost of the sample) but most are just phishing exercises.

I have no idea whether the product works or not, but if you are interested in a free sample then find the correct website – don’t click on a link in an email.

Stupidest Spam of the Week Diabetes Pinch

Diabetes is a huge problem in the Western world and to a lesser degree in the developing nations.

There are no real cures but there are various treatments that help to reduce the problem and alleviate the side effects of having a too high blood sugar level.

The best advice for anyone with diabetes type II is to exercise more, lose weight and have a healthy diet.

Scammers take advantage of the frustration and desperation felt by many with life changing diabetes, who struggle to get to the ideal weight and have a healthy diet.

A latest such scam message includes a fake video clip and the usual scammer language.

e.g. “Learn The secret Pinch Method” – but then claims 190,00 people already use it, so not such a secret really.

“There is no doubt the $370 billion diabetes industry does not want you to see this”. But diabetes treatment sales in the years to 2020 were only around $25 billion per year so the scammer’s figure is made up.

“Watch the video now before Big Pharma takes it down”. No. Just the usual dose of conspiracy theory.

Sadly, there is no magic pinch that resets your blood sugar instantly. The body’s blood sugar management system is very complex and a simple pinch will have no effect.

The Cellulite Cure

Email titled “Finally: You Can End the Embarrassment of Cellulite”

“Stop cellulite from running your life.”

“Naturally eliminate every single trace of cellulite from your entire body, permanently, in just 21 days.”

Then comes the supposed proof by listing quotes from satisfied customers, such as:-

“I jump out of bed each day with joy. I had never felt sexier in my entire life”

“The spark is definitely back in my marriage”

There is a link to click to watch a video which will reveal how a special protein can turn your cellulite skin silky smooth.

This is all just a scam of course.

There is no such protein.

The email is not from a medical establishment or a pharmaceutical company but from managehealth.download which is an Internet address intended to be used for downloading software or media etc.

And the last part of the email is the usual sections taken from a random book hoping to fool the Internet service provider spam filters.

It’s all rubbish.

Reiki Energy Healing Scam

Reiki is an ancient Japanese art of energy healing.

It is quite common in the West nowadays. It’s quite easy and cheap to learn and very relaxing to practice. For many it does work, but that’s not to say that it works for everyone though.

Reiki is taught by various Reiki schools across the UK and is usually taught over a weekend some bookwork but mostly hands on practice and exercises.

However, it is like many ancient arts something that must be taught by a person face to face not through a bunch of PDF documents on the Internet.  You cannot learn energy healing from a PDF – you need a person in front of you to demonstrate and to know whether you’re doing it right or need further guidance.

There are numerous lazy stupid people – scammers and spammers who will jump on any new thing and try to make money from it for their own benefit and so is the case with Reiki.

A recent email titled “Hollywood Crazy Over This New Esoteric Practice”

Trying to sell this by use of celebrity endorsements is ridiculous – Angelina Jolie, Nicole Kidman, Sandra Bullock use Reiki according to the email. Plus Phil Mickelson the golfer, Doctor Oz and more.

Top sports people like Phil Mickelson maybe add a little credibility to the story (his name was probably picked at random by the scammer) but actors – they are not generally seen as the most level headed or intelligent types so why should anyone believe a product is good because of a celebrity endorsement?

If you want to learn Reiki – contact a Reiki school and learn properly and do not be conned by the scammers and spammers sending out millions of pathetic emails.
