My mother keeps falling for these YouTube ads that promise to solve certain health issues that she has. Thankfully she usually asks me to buy the product and then I’m able to head it off. It’s so dangerous! These crazy supplements from companies that don’t exist. It makes me sad it gets her hopes up « Click here to end your pain now ».
I would love to send her a video that explains how to detect that these ads are scammy. The same sort of thing we’ve seen for detecting phishing emails, for example misspelling, a sense of urgency in the email, promising to solve all your problems, being too good to be true.
She is an immigrant and I can’t send her a long technical article. It needs to be a simple clear video with imagery and not too much jargon.
Anyone seen anything like this?
