Beware of an old scam that continues to go around that pretends that Oprah Winfrey has endorsed Simpli Health ACV Keto Gummies, Gemini Keto Gummies, Condor CBD Gummies, or some other similar CBD or keto product. It’s all fake, including the reviews on Google News. It’s not true. Mark Cuban never endorsed the products. Oprah didn't either. She has never endorsed any of these products. Scammers are using her image and likeness without her authorization. “ACV” stands for apple cider vinegar.
As of mid-July 2022, Twitter users were reporting what appeared to be Google-hosted ads that showed Oprah Winfrey propping up a supposed endorsement of Simpli Health ACV Keto Gummies, even though she has never endorsed any products like this. One of the ads claimed that she was giving away the first 100 bottles for free. This was false.
It’s unclear what’s happening with the scammers using Oprah Winfrey’s name in order to sell the product, or perhaps as a way of phishing. This has been going on for quite a long time.
It’s also unclear just how long the ads have been appearing on Google’s ad platform. However, the ads were reported by one Twitter user as showing up during a game that was played on Google Play.
I didn’t find a link to where the ad led, but I’ve seen this sort of thing before. It likely led to a fake celebrity endorsement article that said Oprah Winfrey is going all-in on Simpli Health ACV Keto Gummies and that she was giving away free bottles. Don’t believe it. It’s all a scam.
