Don’t fall for health scams: Many claims made by health products are so outrageous they’re funny: “Miracle cure!” “Works like magic!” “Burns away fat without exercise!” But scams like these take advantage of people with chronic health problems. And that’s not funny at all. How can you spot a health scam? “Miracle” claims like the ones above are one sign. You should also be wary of any product that:

• Says it cures a wide range of diseases

• Relies on success stories instead of scientific evidence

• Promises a quick fix

Suspect a scam? Report it to the Federal Trade Commission by calling 877-382-4357.
