Over the years there have many quite a few weight loss scams come and go. I'm sure you've seen a few yourselves. But have you seen the diet patch yet?
This is one I get in my email box from time to time. The email tells me that by wearing this diet patch on my body that the fat will just disappear. You don't even need to diet or exercise either. Wow! Wouldn't that be great?
The email goes on to say that you can get the diet patch for $49, or some other ridiculous price, and begin, to see immediate results. Of course, it doesn't work and the only thing that you've accomplished is throwing your money away on another weight loss scam.
Sadly, many people fall for this hype in their angst of wanting to lose weight with something that appears to be so easy. Companies make millions of dollars before slipping away from authorities once the scam is exposed.
The FTC does manage to get some of these crooks before they can get slip away though, as evidenced by the case against "Peel Away The Pounds".
This company sold a diet patch the company claimed would do everything I mentioned above. After the FTC got a hold of them they reached a $1,000,000 settlement for false claims about their product.
We all wish that weight loss could be as simple as wearing a diet patch, but the fact is they just don't work. Finding a solid, proven weight loss system will always be your best bet.
