Oprah Weight Loss Gummies Scam Ads in Words With Friends

Oprah Weight Loss Gummies Scam Ads in Words With Friends

| PT9M32S | Video has closed captioning.

Why are ads about Oprah Winfrey and purported weight loss CBD and apple cider vinegar (ACV) keto gummies and pills showing up in Google Ads on the Play Store for Zynga's Words With Friends? The better question is, why in the hell has this been allowed for months? This has been going on for a long time. Google makes billions of dollars, yet they allow this scam to continue? Really?

This whole thing with Oprah and supposed weight loss CBD or ACV keto gummies or pills in the Google Play Store with games like Words With Friends has been going on for a long time. She never endorsed any of the products. Oprah has nothing to do with any of it. Scammers are using her image and likeness without her permission. This fake celebrity endorsement is costing people real money when they hand over their credit card information to the companies. Many of them are reporting being charged way more money than they were told. Even worse, these CBD and keto gummies companies are difficult to reach. Their customer service phone numbers and email addresses are often mysteriously missing from the product order pages, including within terms and conditions documents and privacy policy pages. They appear to be trying to make it difficult to be contacted.

In this video, I lay out a number of tweets that show a lot of people are noticing these weird Oprah ads in Words With Friends that claim she endorsed “weight loss” CBD or ACV keto gummies, when in reality she never did.

If platforms like Meta, Google, Twitter, and others took their work seriously, they would set up detection systems that would automatically flag new ads that tried to push scams. It seems like they need to put more money into this sort of thing, but of course that’s unlikely.

I don’t know if this Oprah bullshit is ever going to go away, because again, she never endorsed any “weight loss” gummies for CBD, keto, ACV, none of it.

Stay safe out there. Alert family and friends. Avoid these scams. Stay away from all of it.
