Catching Fake Blogs Changing Stories
Ever catch someone in a lie and call them on it only to have them back up and change their story? Well take a look, it is hilarious to see how many fake diet blogs are right now have changed that miracle diet story from an amazing 30 pounds in 2 weeks to a pound a day or 60 pounds in 3 months. Before it was "the pounds easily melt away" and now it is "with a sensible diet and exercise". What they are doing (the smart crooks) is changing their fake testimonial to try to fit with something that is humanly possible so in case they get a knock on the door, they don't get to go to jail.
So far, it's not illegal to make a diet blog with an invented person as the spokesperson, and many people may be feeling like "everyone's doing it" as new ones spring up. They aren't even creative about it, that's why they all follow the same basic formula, copying the original websites that did well with it. Those suggesting purchasing multiple products as a diet combo are most popular because the host of the site gets paid for selling... you guessed it... multiple products.
Why? Because there is huge money in the fad diet industry and almost any moron who can get a basic webpage up and can get a picture of the same person fat and skinny can make money. (This is in no way a suggestion to go into this industry as a career) It is our hope (and suspicion) that they will have to give it all back because their advertising messages were misleading to the public and many of their products, harmful if used as directed.
