More scams
         Hey, I want to look younger like Ellen DeGeneres, too. But all those ads lead to some peculiar things. You don't always get the same product advertised, if you check it out more than once. It is the same with the products that seem to be endorsed by Dr. Oz. There's a whole slew of them. (But Ellen really does look good. What is she using?)

         Then you say, what the heck, I'll give it a try. The no known name product requires a debit or credit card, not a prepaid card. Alarms go off! Why do they need access to my credit or my bank account? If a prepaid charges more, then why not add the fee in up front? Because they're scammers! These things advertise on Yahoo and Google and Facebook and lots of other places.

         Facebook advertises, not a "friend" by the way posting on your wall, free products and place pictures of big brand names like Clinique or Clarins. Then, you answer a few questions about skin type, where you live, etc., and they only have "3" samples left of some weird brand you have never seen anywhere. The postage is only $3.95. Ok, it's a deal even on a cheap product, but the same deal is given on no prepaid card.

         If a non name company that approaches me on my computer wants only my credit card or debit card, I don't need their products.

         And what about all those ads for the belly fat loss that pictures half an avocado with an egg in the pit hole? You watch a whole spiel, and it's only another no name product for some pill. You put this unknown pill in your body, without any cautions or warnings about mixing with other drugs or supplements, or not using with certain health conditions. No, thanks. Another scam. And you never are told why the avocado or the egg were in the picture.
