Description

I watched a 30 minute video with Oprah and Dr. Avia selling these serums to lose weight, working in the same way as Ozempic, except with out side effects. It is the Pink Salt Trick, including other herbs only found outside the USA. I decided to purchase the smallest amount available, 3 bottles. After I selected that I’d like to pay with Pay Pal, the money was immediately taken out of my account without my approval. Then another “Doctor “ came on and said that buying only three bottles wouldn’t make the product work and could make it even harder to lose weight, and that I needed to buy a year supply to actually lose weight. That’s when I realized it was a scam. But I’m so embarrassed that I didn’t realize it from the beginning. I am 60 years old and this was only the second day that I used Instagram and I wasn’t thinking about it being unmonitored for people to scam you.
