OT: Another GY - in another arena?

[Guest guest]

I think GY has competition, albeit in a different area. I recently discovered I

have a thyroid problem (hypo), and have d to a list. Today, I got a

link to an article about a scam artist that rivals GY!

 

The article is titled " The Real Secret About " The Secret Cure for

Hypothyroidism " -- A Warning. "

 

In part, it reads:

The whole enterprise is another scheme put together by Perry Belcher, owner of

the controversial supplement affiliate marketer Selmedica, who registered and

owns the " Cure's " promotional site. You may have heard of Selmedica -- their

claim to fame is taking common vitamins and supplements, giving them fancy

pharmaceutical drug-like names, putting huge price tags on them and charging

more than many legitimate prescription drugs, then heavily advertising these

supplements with promises of instant cures for various diseases and conditions,

and then marketing them exclusively online, by using heavy affiliate marketing

-- all this, of course, until they run afoul of the Food and Drug

Administration. I've covered them before, when I talked about Alvidar, an

overpriced multivitamin they sell as a supposed thyroid cure.

Their products claim to cure everything from head lice to body odor to shingles.

Check out some of the other preposterous products, and note how many have been

" discontinued " -- some no doubt involuntarily...

 

At the end of the article, it gave some excellent suggestions on how to avoid

having others from being scammed. Perhaps the same information could help YL

people avoid being scammed?
