She recently called out fake ads that use her likeness to promote weight loss gummies. In an Instagram clip, Wilson expressed her frustration, saying, &#8220;By now I\u2019m sure a lot of y\u2019all have seen some ads about me <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ghislaine-maxwell-now-accusing-prison-guard-of-abuse\/\" title=\"Ghislaine Maxwell Now Accusing Prison Guard Of Abuse\">losing weight<\/a>, being hospitalized and then I started taking some weight loss gummies and blah, blah, blah, it saved my life. Well, surprise. It ain\u2019t true.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>But Wilson isn&#8217;t the only one being targeted. Country star Luke Combs has also fallen victim to scammers using his image to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/country-stars-warn-public-about-weight-loss-gummies-using-their-likeness-its-all-a-scam\/\" title=\"Celebrities caution against weight loss gummies scam.\">endorse keto weight loss gummies<\/a>. Jordan Liles, a writer for Snopes, warns that celebrities need to take quick action to combat these scams. He suggests saturating the media with statements denouncing the use of their likenesses.<\/p>\n<p>According to Liles, scammers are using artificial intelligence to insert celebrities&#8217; voices into videos endorsing these scam products. Stars like Wilson and Combs have had their images manipulated to make it seem like they are endorsing the gummies. However, they have made it clear that they have not endorsed any such products.<\/p>\n<p>Other celebrities, including Oprah Winfrey, Kelly Clarkson, Mayim Bialik, and Tom Selleck, have also had their images used without permission. These scammers are even going as far as creating fake news stories and using endorsements from well-known figures like Dr. Mehmet Oz to lend credibility to their scams.<\/p>\n<p>These weight loss gummy scams can have serious consequences for consumers. Many victims end up with ongoing subscriptions that charge hundreds of dollars per month. Liles urges celebrities to prioritize addressing these scams, as they can go on for months if not addressed properly.<\/p>\n<p>So how can you protect yourself from falling for these scams? Liles advises being cautious of online deals that sound too good to be true. Instead, look for deals on fun items like sporting goods from reputable retailers during special sales events like Black Friday or Cyber Monday. Remember, as Liles puts it, &#8220;Good things cost money.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s important to stay informed and vigilant to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/irs-releases-2023-dirty-dozen-tax-scam-list\/\" title=\"IRS Releases\" Ugly 12\" Tax Scam List for 2023\">avoid falling victim<\/a> to these weight loss gummy scams.
