Every summer, a new “revolutionary” cooling gadget floods social media feeds and online advertisements. This year, one of the most aggressively marketed products is the Solyball Cooling Ace. According to its advertisements, Solyball Cooling Ace is a powerful portable air conditioner capable of cooling rooms within minutes, lowering energy consumption, and helping Americans slash their…
Verdict: CONFIRMED SCAM. This email has nothing to do with Costco. Scammers are using the Costco and Kirkland Signature brand without any authorization to lure people into a fake giveaway that quietly enrolls them in recurring charges of up to $150 per month — hidden inside terms and conditions nobody is prompted to read. If…
Verdict: MISLEADING MARKETING — SCAM-STYLE WELLNESS PRODUCT. JellyFil supplement shows every hallmark of a rebranded scam-style wellness product: fake doctor endorsements, AI-generated customer photos and testimonials, misleading FDA language, and dramatic health claims with no independent clinical evidence to support them. If you’re dealing with genuine concerns about testosterone, libido, or male fertility, a real…
I Investigated Derma Pure and DP Gummies So You Don’t Have To If you’re searching for Derma Pure reviews or DP Gummies reviews, chances are you’ve already seen one of the ads. Maybe it appeared on Facebook. Maybe it showed up while scrolling through Instagram. Perhaps a friend shared it with you. The ad usually…
Verdict: SCAM. I bought VisionSync MultiFocal glasses and tested them directly against a Snellen eye chart, comparing the results to my own prescription glasses. The “adaptive” lenses did not adapt to anything. My vision got dramatically worse the moment I put them on. Don’t waste your money. I see this product advertised constantly, on YouTube,…
Verdict: CONFIRMED SCAM. The text messages claiming you missed a traffic court summons from “Judge Robert Kline” and clerk “Elena Ramirez” are phishing attempts, not real legal notices. No US court issues summons by text message. If you’ve received one, do not click the link. I’ve been tracking text message scams for a long time…
Verdict: MISLEADING MARKETING — NOT A CONFIRMED PRODUCT SCAM. I found no evidence the Lean Peak manufacturer is behind the deepfake celebrity ads, but the promotional campaign built around this supplement is one of the more aggressive deception operations I’ve documented this year. Proceed with serious caution and read the billing terms before you ever…
Verdict: NOT LEGITIMATE. BunnyBand is a task-based “earning” app that generates real revenue for itself through affiliate offers while consistently failing to pay users. The withdrawal failures, fake activity pop-ups, and referral pressure are not bugs — they’re the business model. I’ve spent years digging into platforms that promise easy money for simple tasks, and…
Verdict: SCAM. I bought EpiCooler, waited over a month for delivery, and tested it head-to-head against a real air conditioner with a thermometer. The AC dropped the room temperature by nearly 3°F in 15 minutes. EpiCooler made the room slightly warmer. Do not buy it. EpiCooler ads show the device blowing visible cold air the…
Verdict: Probable Dropshipping Scam Hikari Teeth Whitening Powder makes a string of dramatic dental claims — instant whitening, cavity repair, enamel restoration — that are not backed by credible evidence. The product shows multiple hallmarks of a dropshipping operation: fake reviews, unverifiable authority claims, fake urgency tactics, and a near-identical product available wholesale from China…
