Who is behind those ugly disgusting fat stomach ads?
These “flat stomach rule” weight loss ads are making me furious!
I decided to do a little sleuthing and find out.
I hate these ads, they are so ugly and they are on every website I visit!
I am not kidding, websites I have previously found easy to use and on the more
shall we say classy side are being ruined by these ads. While I am reading world news
there on the side is a big horrible distorted photo of stomachs and it is gross!
Really gross.

Here is another FAKE MODEL who is on http://beverlysdietblog.com/?p=8&cpage=7#comment-317

• About Me

  

  Just a catalog model who does not own the rights to her photo.

  My name is Beverly Long and I was born and raised in California. I tried every diet out there before finally finding the perfect one!

  I Shed 34 Pounds In 40 Days With a 2-Step Diet

  My FAKE Struggle- Nice job of ad writing by scammers!
  

  Hi! I’m Beverly Long ( fake unknown model photos) from California (NOT) and I am a full-time mom with 2 amazing kids. If I would have known how hard two kids were, I may have stopped at 1!! I love my kids, but miss the body I used to have before them. I don’t have much time for myself, but the time I do have, I eat I am always on the move so eating healthy is difficult. I try to organize my life around my health, but you know as well as I how hard this can be. Needless to say I don’t have any time to work out. I have a gym membership that I use about twice a month, (who am I kidding, im lucky to go once) what a waste of money. bla bla bla, fake fake fake. If you google any part of this fake testiimony ad, you will pull up all the fake “Sue, Karen, Jenny, Becky and more FAKE blogs.”

Then they say “as seen on Rachel Ray” . Oh really when was this on Rachel Ray?
You mean you bought a spot on her T.V show? I somehow seriously doubt Rachael Ray endorses this
disgusting ad. Of course I still have no idea who owns this company and what exactly do they sell?
Since I never click the ad, and I try not to look at it.
After being assaulted by these ads for months now I am furious.
I use an ad blocker, but these are not pop up’s so they are still there.
When I googled “I hate these fat stomach ads” I got an interesting assortment of results.
Many diet forums had people complaining that these ads upset them.
I had not even considered that possibility. Various forms of the ads say ” ARE YOU FAT?”
Which is rude and offensive. Then to have to stare at that butt ugly photo while you are in
a support forum could be upsetting.
For me these photos are like a day at Great America, where I
avert my eyes from the women that should never be wearing crop tops and stretch pants,
who have their rolls hanging over their pants.
This is something I have never understood. First it looks so uncomfortable and second
do they really think this is attractive?
I digress. These ads also make me lose my appetite. (maybe that would could be a diet aid?)
I won’t even watch plastic surgery on the T.V, it makes me sick.
I think society today reveals way too much.
What happened to the mystery of the human body?
I don’t want to see all this, really I don’t.
Now I see this company (who may behind all of these ads, since FL is listed as the place in many whois)

Natural Source Store. LLC
6565 Taft Street, Suite 204
Hollywood, FL 33024

Is also behind these gross “removemystretchmarks.com” product.
I looked up who owned that website and it was a guy in Canada

It should be illegal for companies that buy a crappy ad is the BACK of major magazines to be able to say
“see us in Lucky or Glamor or Redbook” yeah see them in the back in the paid classifieds.

So I looked up MonicasDietBlog.com. on whois and of course it has paid privacy settings.

Then I noticed that is says Monica Conrad under one place and Monica Coyle right next to that!!
Hello, get your name right, but no why do that since it is FAKE anyway!
Next I did a search on some images and guess what I found, why I found Monica Coyle/Conrad turned into
Becky! Yes Becky Edwards and she has the exact same blog? Wow. Then Jenny Conrad, and then I found
http://danasdietdiary.com/, same set up, well you get the picture. Here is a sample for you.
Now it was getting interesting, guess what popped up next the same template for the blog but this one is called
megansdatingblog.com, now I am thinking who is running this entire thing, templates and multiple products?
This is driving me crazy now. I must find out who is behind these blog templates and more.
Anyone out there know?

Now interestingly as I continued to dig, I found on the terms and conditions page a web address buried in there where you could email to discontinue getting emails from them.
This looks like where they must manufacture the bogus scam product Acai Berry diet extract aid whatever they call it.
Yet again, you really can’t contact anyone or discover WHO OWNS THIS and who is running this scam.
Because when this much secretive cover goes into a product, you can bet it is a total SCAM!
I called one of the 800 numbers and got these guys, fwm.labs adn they are located in , you guessed it, FL!

Anyway, it just got bigger and deeper so I found this guys blog about it and he has really got some great stuff on there,
all the fake photos, and names and it is great, go and check him out.
http://wafflesatnoon.com/2009/01/29/acai-cleanse-scams-update/
He also compiled a fantastic “The Fake Diet Girls” photo album. I love it! The photos I posted have many other fake names.
Just to let you know, this is a huge scam, do not buy anything from these sites and these are not real people
they are paid models or actors and please please be careful out there. The internet is rife with criminals who have blossomed online.
Many of these scams are run from Russia and Nigeria and Belgium.
They aren’t even in the U.S and if you get taken the authorities here can’t do anything for you.
I will post more later after I do more investigation.
Read some more reports on people RIPPED off by this whole acai berry scam.

http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/0/372/RipOff0372878.htm

Here is a sample from all the complaints.
Nubodi Inc., Acai berry 500, and Wellness Watchers MD – all crooks.

The complaint I filed with the Better Business Bureau in Florida attempted to negotiate with Nubodi, and imagine this – Nubodi reported they had never done business with me, they say they did not share my information with Wellness Watchers MD, and if I would just ’send them my personal information and credit card numbers again’ then they will try to find me in their system. Ha! What a laugh!

The BBB should be ashamed to even negotiate such scandalous requests when they know what kind of people they’re dealing with (BBB gave this company a grade of ‘F’ on their website).

I also alerted the Chamber of Commerce in Davie, Florida to the scandalous activities of Nubodi and Wellness Watchers, and the Davie Chamber of Commerce was kind enough to call me. The gentleman there informed me that the telephone number for Nubodi: 801-208-7485 is NOT even a Florida telephone number, but the address they are using: 4650 SW 51st Street, Suite 711, Davie, Florida 33314 – IS an actual address.

Soon after my conversation with the helpful gentleman at the Davie Chamber of Commerce, a woman from Oregon called me to say that the she was given my number by the Davie Chamber of Commerce as another person who had been scammed by Nubodi’s Acai berry scam, and I told this lady to beware of Wellness Watchers MD too. Unfortunately for this lady in Oregon, she purchased the products with her debit card, so the money is gone from her bank account forever, and I doubt that she’ll see it back again. I encouraged her to close her account so that they can’t get at any more of her hard earned cash.

I sincerely wish that someone out there would go after these people – Nubodi and Wellness Watchers MD – and put them behind bars. They are getting rich off of a lot of unsuspecting health conscious people.

The thing that is driving me crazy is who owns these companies. Who is the guy in charge.
I have done all kinds of business related searches and I can not find the a-hole who runs this entire operation. That is worrying to me. NO names no accountability.

Email Safety- How to protect yourself
© Linda Lee

Spam is the scourge of the Internet! According to recent statistics, an incredible 75-80% of all email can be classified as Spam!

The dictionary defines Spam simply as “unsolicited email,” but it’s much worse than that.
It is a direct invasion into your privacy. Just like junk snail-mail, junk email takes up space in your mailbox , wastes your time and is a general nuisance.

How did they get my email address?
How can I tell if this is a legitimate email?
How do they know my name or my frineds name and use it in the subject line?

Well, the bad news is that once your email is posted anywhere public on the web, your address becomes fair game for all.

Spammers are exceptionally creative when it comes to getting information they know that people don’t want them to have.

The ingenious use of special programs and “harvesting robots” sniff out thousands of websites.

They collect any and all email addresses they find, including yours.

Unfortunately, this includes legitimate, often necessary lists, like any parent volunteer lists or school activities with contact information posted on a website.

Any sports team lists, any type of hobby forums or newsgroups where you allow your email to be public will place you at risk.

Even your job may post employee emails somewhere that is publicly accessible.

People who create Spam lists hunt for all these options and more.

They plan to exploit your email address as much as possible.

Spammers were cunning enough realize how valuable a list of legitimate email addresses are an asset simply waiting to be sold!

They stop at nothing to find every possible way to root out information.

A Spammer typically sells multiple lists of email addresses. Once your email address is on one list, it is often merged with others and resold repeatedly.

In the worst case, your email becomes virtually impossible to remove.

Often changing your email is your only recourse.

But until they begin receiving the dreaded Spam, most people have no clue that their addresses have been found, harvested and sold.

One rule used to be never opt out of any email you got, but since the can-spam act went into effect it would appear to have had some effect in this area.

I started actually using the opt out in much of the spam I receive and it seems to be reducing my spam by about 60%, so I’m not sure if this old rule still applies.

When You Sign Up For Anything, Read The Privacy Policy!
This is your best chance to legitimately opt-out of mailings.

Often when you sign up at a website on the Internet or enter contests, at the end of the sign up, there will be a box allowing you to “opt out” of further emails or selling your email address to “interested parties”

This is a legitimate way to keep down your Spam.

Unfortunately those cunning Spammers realize many people have no idea if they signed up , or where they have been, so they send fake “opt out, opt in” emails asking you to click the link to do either.

Once you reply to this email, the Spammer learns:

Your email is live and valid
You open and read Spam
You follow instructions…such as ‘click this to be removed’.

Dictionary Attack

How they use a mass attack to find you.

Another tactic of Spammers is the Dictionary Attack

Massive amounts of Spam are sent to random addresses from a targeted domain.

Automated software will generate every combination of a name, such as jjones@____, jjones1@___, jjones2@___ etc.

The hope is that some of it -even a small percentage- gets through to valid addresses.

Spammers wait to get a ‘bounced message,’ or ‘error message’ that says the email isn’t valid.

When that doesn’t happen guess what-your address has just been just been “confirmed live” and will be added to their email list, which they will sell for money.

Why doesn’t blocking this junk email with your email message settings stop this?

Because Spammers use fake names and fake return addresses, and they rarely use the same ones twice.

Prevent Spam!

Get multiple email addresses!
Paid providers allow you multiple addresses.

Get two, three or even four addresses.

(Some people don’t even know this is available from your provider.)

Have a ‘Spam’ address for anticipated Spam mail.

Whenever you are asked to provide an email, always give out your alternate “Spam” email address.
I have one for pure Spam, like contests, product advertising and samples, general information websites, like

Real estate or home improvement sites.

Then I have an email for my purchases on the web.

Then I have an email for business only.

Have one for friends.

If having multiple emails is not an option or provided for you, two large reputable companies offer free email addresses.

Check out yahoo mail or Google has gmail. Both free and very good.

Or you can do a search for “free email account” to find hundreds of other choices.

They’re offered free to get you and your wallet to their website and their advertisers.

Why Do I Need Different Email Accounts?

To keep your legitimate, live address from falling into the hands of unscrupulous Spammers.

As you find interesting Internet sites, appealing offers or contests you want to enter, don’t use your primary email address.
When your children sign up at websites like

http://www.disney.com

http://www.lego.com

http://www.starwars.com

http://www.nickjr.com

Have them use a second- or third- email account.

Email Safety Basics

Use a secondary account anytime you give your email address to anyone other then family and friends.
Limit your primary email to personal or business correspondence.
Use a second or third or fourth email address for any public forums or venues
Ask family and friends to not give out your email and to not or sign you up or refer you for anything online.
(Just like they wouldn’t give out your telephone number.)
Otherwise, you will join the ranks of people wasting time opening Spam.

A quick word here on forwarding email to mass/bulk addresses:

Please don’t do it!

Constant forwarding clutters up peoples Inbox, and it is intrusive. Remember that Spammers siphon off addresses from “group” emails.

Beware of chain letters! Rumors, angel blessings, jokes, and please check out your facts before sending out again!
Break the cycle and check www.snopes.com first!!

Guess where else Spammers collect address? You got it- from all those relentless chain letters.

If any of these fall into a Spammers hand you can forget about avoiding bad luck, you just found it!

Instead of missing out on some great opportunity if you don’t forward a chain letter to ten of your friends, (thus giving out ten live addresses)
those annoying chain letters circulating the Internet could be cursing you with an Inboxstuffed with Spam!

Recently I had to create yet another email address for friends who insist on mass forwarding me and others every rumor.

Such as the one that said your cell phone number needs to go on the “do not call” list, (this is false) mass prayers, chain letters, (where I surely should be dead by now for all the ones I have deleted!) angel blessings , poems, jokes, cute photos of animals and children that come their way.

Check out common email ‘urban legends’ like this one first!!!

Urban Legends Reference Pages: Thousand Dollar Bill from Microsoft or anywhere else!
Status: False.

Origins: No, you’re not going to be receiving money, merchandise, or free trips from Bill Gates (or anyone else), no matter how many people you forward this message to.
Tracing all recipients of an e-mail message is not yet technically possible, and even if it were, Bill Gates certainly wouldn’t be testing software that performed such tracking by blindly sending messages out to the Internet with a promise of financial reward to the recipients.

First and foremost, e-mail tracking programs do not exist. That folks continue to fall for myriad varieties of these leg-pulls is in part attributable to netizens having caught so many references to these non-existent programs that the new hoax is able to continue building on an already partially-constructed platform of belief.

(As with every other technological issue, the statement “e-mail tracking programs do not exist” becomes less and less true every day. It is possible in some cases to determine who has read a particular mail message, but there is no method of doing so that will work with all the myriad of e-mail programs out there or keep track of who forwarded the message to whom.)

Once again, e-mail tracing programs do not exist. Any “get something free” come-on or “help a sick kid” appeal which specifies an invisible program is keeping track of who received an e-mail and who it was then sent to is a hoax. Any such note. No exceptions. Not even ones not yet listed on this page.

Likewise, missives which offer no explanation of how the e-mails are being tallied are also hoaxes. Unless you are e-mailing a copy to a central tabulating point every time something is forwarded on, nothing is being counted, traced, tracked, or any other verb that would result in you getting free cargo pants from the GAP or inspiring an unnamed millionaire to donate just a little bit more towards the care of an injured child.

With all that said, we can begin looking at the various forms this jape has so far taken. And it’s going to be a long, strange journey indeed.

The following message began circulating on the Internet around 21 November 1997: ( and I just got this from someone Dec 2007!)
Hello everybody,

My name is Bill Gates. I have just written up an e-mail tracing program that traces everyone to whom this message is forwarded to. I am experimenting with this and I need your help. Forward this to everyone you know and if it reaches 1000 people everyone on the list will receive $1000 at my expense. Enjoy.

Your friend,
Bill Gates

So please people , stop the madness!!
Check www.snopes.com before forwarding all these wacky crazy and mostly untrue emails!
Never add your name to mass group mailings.
Never send out a group mailing with all your friends’ emails listed in the CC: at the top.
Respect others right to privacy by not giving out their email in mass emails
If you find something worth passing on, something that good, email it to one person at a time using the BCC feature all email programs offer.

HOW TO USE BLIND CARBON COPY OR BCC

(directions for Microsoft Outlook)
To send an e-mail message

1. On the toolbar, click the Create Mail button.
2. In the To or Cc boxes, type the e-mail name of each recipient, separating names with a comma or a semicolon ( ; ).

To add e-mail names from the Address Book, click the book icon in the New Message window next to To, Cc, and Bcc, and then select names.

To use the BCC box, on the View Menu, select All Headers
3. In the Subject box, type a message title.
4. Type your message, and then click Send on the toolbar.

This will allow you to still send your mass emails, while respecting the right to privacy and protecting all your recipients email addresses.

All my suggestions will certainly help protect you and cut down on your Spam. Unfortunately, Spammers are often criminals, and they are getting more sophisticated at finding ways into your Inbox

If you are still inundated with Spam, change your email address. Start over fresh, armed with this new prevention.

One more tip if you have Outlook.

How to block email.

Click on the spam email (don’t open it)
Next go up to your toolbar and click message, in the drop down box you will see a choice of
“block sender”. Click that and proceed. After this anyone with that email will go into your trash automatically.
Since spammer use fake email addresses, I am not sure how much it actually cuts down on spam-but I
will tell you this, it makes me feel better when I block them!

Be cautious when giving out your email address.

Email is a wonderful way to contact others and keep in touch. Be safe and enjoy!
