6 warning signs of a supplement scam

The same tricks show up again and again in the products we review. If you spot two or more, slow down before you buy.

Unverified expert endorsements

A “doctor” or “researcher” whose identity is vague, unverifiable, and appears nowhere in credible medical directories.

Fabricated testimonials

Glowing five-star reviews copied across affiliate sites, while Trustpilot, Amazon and the BBB show few reviews or complaints.

Flashy trust seals

“Doctor Approved”, “Science-Based” and “Clinically Proven” badges with no data, links, or studies behind them.

Exaggerated health claims

Promises to “melt” fat or “restart your metabolism instantly”, with no published clinical trials to back them up.

Fake urgency and scarcity

Countdown timers, “Only 5 bottles left!” and “Offer expires in 15 minutes!”, all to rush you before you check the claims.

Hidden subscription terms

What looks like a one-time purchase quietly signs you up for monthly auto-billing that is hard to cancel.

What to Do If Scammed

If you suspect you’ve been deceived, take immediate steps to secure your finances and report the scam.

  1. Stop Further Transactions

    Contact your bank or credit card provider right away. Ask them to block any further charges and initiate a chargeback for any unauthorized or recurring payments.

  2. Report the Fraud

    File a complaint with the Better Business Bureau or the Federal Trade Commission. If outside the U.S., contact your national consumer protection agency.

  3. Take Screenshots

    Before the site changes or disappears, document all transactions, emails, confirmation pages, and advertisements.
