This is another piece of fake news. It pretends to be the website for the TV show "The Doctors", but it uses a slightly-modified version of the layout from the fake Dr. Oz site used in the Christie Brinkley scam. It's about a "local mom" (yeah, right) named "Ashleigh Williams" who "gained a lot of media attention after an extraordinary 106 lb weight loss" (citation needed). There is a fake Dr. Oz interview where Ashleigh claims that a product called "Starex Labs Garcinia" caused her (fictional) weight loss.
There are a lot of other fake news red flags, including the fake comments and the free trial offer. The lawyers representing the REAL Doctor Mehmet Oz recently found out that the mastermind behind all this fake news is a woman named "Hannah Vu". Vu runs a plastic surgery clinic called "LaserPro Cosmetic" with offices in Santa Ana, California by day, and runs a network of fake news sites and affiliate programs to promote weight-loss products, muscle-building supplements, and wrinkle creams by night. Stay away from Starex Labs Garcinia, and once again, don't believe everything you read on the Internet.
