Buy PureLife Credit Card Scam / Phishing


Another nice Facebook ad appear on my news feed today. This one is intended for girls who wants to lose weight.

A new page called "Mellisa Thomas" creates these ads, where "Mellisa" comments that "No wonder women gets crazy over this product". 

This is a new trend on Facebook to try to sell some "easy to sell"-products. But instead of actually sending you these products, they are more likely to abuse your credit card information. Also, they lie through-out their whole marketing campaign. 

They set up 2 web sites or so. Website 1 is trying to appear to be an independent party, usually a "health magazine" or something. The purpose of this website is to "independently" praise this product. Incidentally, they also have direct links to where you can buy it online. 

Website 2 is the actual product website. Here you are supposed to buy the product and leave your credit card information - but do you know who REALLY gets your credit card information what what they can do with it? What do you really know about this "shop"? Who are they?

Here are some comments/observations about this particular shop:

1) The shop is using a valid SSL certificate, which is normally a good thing. However, this doesn't mean that they will not abuse your credit card. It only means that they have made a bigger effort to make this look serious.

2) The comments on website 1 (womenshealth-magz.com) are always dated with today's date. You can check tomorrow, and you will see the same comments with tomorrow's date (maybe in a different order). They claim the comments have been closed because of "abuse", but this is a lie. They don't want REAL comments. They have made the existing comments themselves. See if you can find a single negative comment? You'd think that at least ONE person would be negative about it?

3) Do you really think that these celebrities used this product to lose weight? They're rich, they probably have personal trainers who tell them how to exercise and what to eat. Try to google somewhere to see if there is any other information about how these girls lost weight. Do they admit to using this product? Guess not.

4) The owners of the domain names are hidden. It's very difficult to find out who these people are or where they operate from. How can you hold them responsible if there is a problem with your order?

(Will try to continue this article later...)
