Seriously, Checkout Scammers, DON'T GO THERE

This is the sickest skincare scam I've seen in years. It uses Carrie Underwood's recent facial injury to advertise something called "Revyve Advanced". Using someone's injury to make money via affiliate marketing is wrong and bad. Back to the fake news article; it has the usual red flags ("Entertainment Today" layout, free trial, fake results, fake comments), and is vulnerable to the Voluumdata XSS Exploit. The comments are a better imitation of the actual Facebook commenting widget than most other fake news articles; they appear to have been copied from another (presumably non-scam) skincare product's Facebook page. Stay away from Revyve Advanced, and if any fake news scammers are reading this, don't try anything like this again.

EnduraFlex Rides Again (or: the Checkout Scammers STILL can't imitate the CNN site's layout)

This is yet another fake news story from EnduraFlex. This time, it tries to imitate the CNN site, and although the Checkout Scammers have made some improvements since the "Cornell University Student" weight loss scam, they still aren't there yet; the logo is still wrong (the real CNN website has it enclosed in a box) and the formatting is off. Speaking of the "Cornell University Student" scam, this fake news story contains a few "throwbacks" to it, including a fictional reporter named "Dr. Grant Pischner" (the Cornell student scam had a fictional reporter named "Suzanne Pischner"). Back to the story: it claims that "millions of older men are getting ripped in weeks!" (citation needed) thanks to EnduraFlex. It is written in a matter more suited to Buzzfeed than CNN, and is riddled with inconsistencies (the fake screenshots mention a product called "DSN Code Black" instead of EnduraFlex). The red flags are the same old: the fake comments, the fake "results", and the "free" trial offer (which links to the "AlphEnduraFlexesto" ordering page mentioned in my post about the Tiger Woods variant of the FakeESPN scam). Once again, stay away from EnduraFlex.

Tiger Woods does NOT use EnduraFlex - Yet Another Fake ESPN Site EXPOSED

This is more BS from EnduraFlex. It pretends to be the ESPN site AGAIN (where are the Disney lawyers when you need them?) It claims that Tiger Woods admitted to using EnduraFlex (citation needed). It then continues as a slight rehash of the old Sidney Crosby Alpha Force Testo fake news story, except with "NHL" search-and-replaced by "PGA", "Sidney Crosby" search-and-replaced by "Tiger Woods", "Alpha Force Testo" search-and-replaced by "Enduraflex Performance", and a few other minor edits. Therefore, the red flags are the same as that scam: the fake comments, the "free" trial offer, the fake "results", and the fact that the REAL ESPN site would never shill a supplement like this. The "free" trial ordering page being linked to by the fake news site appears to be a "missing link" between EnduraFlex and Alpha Force Testo (the "cdesign proponentsists" of FakeESPN-related muscle supplements - it would be even more obvious if it said "AlphEnduraFlexesto" somewhere), making the presentation as a whole (AdSense ad + fake news site + ordering page) even MORE suspicious-looking. The scammers appear to have switched back to that fancy iframe trick, but don't be fooled; the "checkout" subdomain is still there, and is still vulnerable to the Voluumdata XSS Exploit. Once again, stay away from EnduraFlex, and don't believe everything you read on the Internet.

Taking a break

I will be taking a break from this blog; I am seeing way too many new scam ads for me to debunk. I will be back to making scamvertisers cry later in 2018.
