Exposed as U.S. Government Issues $6.5 Million Refund
The U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is refunding over $905,000 to consumers deceived by fraudulent weight loss supplement ads!
Sound unbelievable?
It's absolutely true—and the backstory is more dramatic than any TV show.
On March 6, 2025, the FTC announced refunds exceeding $905,000 to consumers who purchased a so-called "miracle" weight loss product called "Pure Green Coffee."
Turns out, this "magic supplement" was a complete scam!
The company behind it, NPB Advertising, used deceptive tactics including:
✔ False health claims
✔ Fake customer testimonials
✔ Even bogus news websites to "prove" effectiveness
A textbook case of fraud—brazenly exploiting consumers' trust.
This case has been ongoing since 2014!
FTC records show:
May 2014: Initial lawsuit filed against NPB Advertising for fake news sites and false weight loss claims
2015: Amended complaint added deceptive marketing charges
Nov 2015: Most defendants settled
Nov 2016: FTC won judgment against the scheme's mastermind
Ten years of relentless pursuit—this is justice in action!
The global dietary supplement industry is exploding:
$195.13 billion market in 2024 (8.7% CAGR projected through 2029)
$75 billion in U.S. sales alone
