Diet pills scam

Fraudsters are using ‘Dragons’ Den’ branding to peddle fake diet pills. These scam emails try to trick recipients into ordering Figur or Liba pills under the guise of them being a ‘Dragons’ Den’ success story. 

This scam message claims that these diet pills are a 'miracle' and that women lose an average of one-and-a-half stone in a month by using Figur pills, without changing their diet or lifestyle.

And at the bottom of the email, you're asked to click a button to 'Go to Figur special offer'. If you click on the link, you'll be taken to another website asking for your personal information. If you enter your details, you’ll be giving them to scammers. 

Discover more about how this scam works and learn how to report dodgy emails.
