Scam Alert: Nootropic Pill Supported by Hawking, Gates, Anderson Cooper?

from the self-post dept.

This scam website mimics Forbes.com and has obvioulsy fake endorsment quotes from everybody from Stephen Hawking to Anderson Cooper to Denzel Washington pushing a bogus nootropic. It was being marketed to me on TheHill.com via NewsMax.

What can be done about this kind of bullshit?

WARNING, this is a SCAM product, linking for discussion only.

It seems TheHill.com ought to care that it is sending it's readers to bogus scam websites pretending to be Forbes.com

All nootropics are basically scams.

They did a good job, unless they just copied the CSS directly.
