Dr. Oz Diet Products on Facebook

Have you seen one of your friends posting this message in Facebook?
"FINALLY! A solution that worked. I found this new weight loss product last month watching TV. I have already lost a bunch of weight I cant believe it! This is where I got it from check it out."

Beware of the Acai Berry weight loss, HCG diet and Dr. Oz Diet products being promoted on Facebook particularly if they are posted and shared by a multiple of your friends as these are likely spam or clickjacking scams.

The Dr. Oz diet messages have links leading to what appears as a news site that supports the effectiveness of acai berry miracle diet in weight loss. Do not be easily lured into buying the promoted weight loss product and handing out your credit card information to such sites especially if you arrived in those sites via spammy messages that you have read in the social network.

There are already existing claims on the effectiveness of Acai berry diet in weight loss and some of these claims may be true. Consumers, however, should stay clear of patronizing any diet product, whether effective or not, if the product employs spammy and clickjacking methods in social networks for marketing.

Here are variants of the Acai berry and Dr. Oz diet products spam:
