Weight Loss and Scams
One of the most common New Year’s resolutions is to lose weight. I’ve noticed an increase in the advertising for a number of different weight loss programs and products.
Remember that this is also a busy time for scammers and fraud artists. Before becoming involved with any with loss program or product be sure to do some research. Just because it promises great results doesn’t mean it will deliver. And just because it has a doctor’s name on the label doesn’t make it a legitimate product.
Look up the doctor online. Look up the product or service. Compare the cost to similar products. And do some of your own health research. Be sure that you are committed to losing the weight and changing your life beyond just the lip service given at the New Year’s party.
