We know of fake articles that attract people to Bitcoin platforms. The same scam now also uses a rather dubious carbohydrate blocker site.
Users are misled in three ways: a false Facebook preview, a fake article and fake customer photos. A site that sells dubious carbohydrate blockers doesn't necessarily make itself any more credible.
The first deception: The lure on Facebook
The article distributed on Facebook promises something completely different in the preview, namely an article about the 10 best Android apps that cannot be found in the Google Playstore:
The second deception: The fake article
You don't even come close to reading anything about Android apps in the article behind the link. Instead, you are greeted with a completely fake article that only visually looks as if it comes from the tabloid site “OK!”:
A completely fictitious article in which “Carbohydrate Blocker K2” was clearly linked in several places:
The third deception: Fake customer photos
If you now follow the link to the supposedly sensational dietary supplement, you will find the actual reason for this misleading chain: a page on which a carbohydrate blocker product is advertised.
For “only” €49.95 you get a small bottle of the product. You can also take a look at the ingredients on the site (Hempseedoil, MCT, Amino Acid, Vitamin K, CLA, Omega-3), but the link to the laboratory certificate does not work.
The customer reviews mostly show comparison photos (before/after) from alleged customers. However, a simple reverse image search revealed that many of the photos come from several articles, some of which are several years old (see HERE and HERE and HERE ), which contain many photos of people who have lost a lot of weight.
The reviews of the product on Trustpilot look completely different (see HERE ):
Conclusion
Even if you didn't know the customer reviews on Trustpilot:
Would you really trust a "carbohydrate blocker" product whose manufacturer had to use two tricks and false customer photos to seduce you into buying it?
The path to a slimmer self will probably continue to be achieved through balanced nutrition and exercise - not through dubious miracle cures.

We have all probably experienced this situation. And we will definitely experience this situation again and again: the password dilemma!
