- dmix 13y agoSo they're basically a company doing adwords PPC/CPA (cost-per-action) campaigns and they managed to become public via reverse takeover? A big portion of the PPC industry has always been shady. I build software for diabetics and constantly came across highly-optimized landing pages promising to cure diabetes for $99. With highly questionable diets or videos. They buy up all the expensive adwords health keywords (competing with big pharma), so they must be raking in money. I also have friends who worked as adwords marketers for people making millions selling non-FDA approved health products (for ex. cleansers and skin bleaching products).
- callmeed 13y agoMy wife got scammed by one of those nutraceutical "trials" once. You get some sample pills on a 14-day trial. The phone number to cancel the trial is disconnected. 14 days later, your card gets charged $80. I've noticed a lot of them advertising on Facebook.
