Being marginally diabetic, I naturally take an interest in anything that is said to be able to help control or bring down my sugar level. My naiveté was drawn to an advertisement in Facebook a couple of months ago, which spoke about a man who devoted his zeal to develop a blend of tea to help sufferers, despite he had already achieved substantial zero-hero wealth. It was available on COD, or cash or delivery basis. The story looked convincing. I ordered for a full five-pack option or about RM300. All the sachets carry no identification, save the sticker on each pack, which reads:
I took the tea religiously, a sachet a day, often top up with hot water to make it last through the day. I take my reading every Saturday morning, after my morning walk but before my breakfast.
No change in the reading after one week. Never mind, see next week. I gave up after two months. ZERO in terms of efficacy!
Then I started to see all the advertisements below. I knew I had been conned!
Each time one appeared, I would alert readers to say it is a fake claim. But it keeps appearing. I do not know how many people have been conned!
My wife said I never learned. I had earlier been conned
already. Once I ordered a backpack. It was never delivered. I wrote to Facebook
to complain, nothing happened!
I bought bought a saver, which looked so robust on its advertisement. You got two for the price of one. But they were no better than toys.
I am pretty sure much of the TCM stuff advertised are basically useless. Personally, I believe in TCMs, but Facebook has made me become very skeptical each time I see one there!
Facebook, you need to do something!
