In earlier post I exposed what seems to be a massive scam by Garrett Devore Labs. Read all about it here: Acnexus - smells like a scam.

I just discovered another addition to the scam.

Acne treatment product called Acnetix.

This scam is so bad, it’s almost hilarious. Look at the error they’ve made in the sales letter.

In the sales letter they talk about Acnetix, how wonderful it is and how it’s going to save the world from certain annihilation. But then at the FAQ-section, they suddenly talk about something called Leptirex.

I had to take a screen capture of this before they change it. So here, take a look.

Acnetix scam

Leptirex is of course a weightloss pill that gets amazingly good reviews at the same sites that say Acnetix and Acnexus are hot selling acne products.

Besides these glaring errors, their all the sales pages look suspiciously similar. They have the same FAQ-sections and follow the same template.

I bet their business model is something like this.

  1. Quickly cook up a new product
  2. Invent an exotic sounding name (Bruunhause, Acnetix, Acnexus, Lepitrex, Freezox, Dermavisu, Reneuvitol… do I need to go on?)
  3. Copy an existing website and try to remember to change the product name
  4. Add it to your ‘independent’ review sites
  5. Create fake accounts at popular forums and review sites and post positive comments about your products, such as this: http://www.acne.org/messageboard/acnetix-t203032.html (notice that that’s suzy8834’s first and only post)
  6. Start selling on eBay
  7. Cash in on desperate people that are willing to hand over their money for false promises printed on a nice looking bottle
  8. Laugh your way to the bank

Lather, rinse, repeat until the FTC hauls your ass in jail.

Please, please, please don’t fall for these scams.

In many ways acne market is like weightloss market. Both are filled with desperate people looking for quick and easy solutions. And in both cases the solution is really simple, but it takes some work and discipline.

Getting clear is really, really, really simple. No secrets or magic required. Acne cannot survive in a body that’s in good health.

It’s so painfully obvious once you get it. And I mean really get it, not just nodding your head and forgetting it after five minutes. Once you get it, you really kick yourself on the ass for wasting years or decades with quick-fixes, when you could have been permanently clear in few months.

You can do it all by yourself. You don’t need to buy anything to get clear. Not even my book Clear for Life.

But if you are not quite sure on what to eat and how to go about this, Clear for Life can help you. I spent 7 years waddling through all the BS in acne and natural health fields to get to these simple truths. I took the simple and really obvious things that work and built the Clear for Life program around them.

Just look at what Nicole wrote to me.

Hey Mr. Pusso! I am so glad that I bought your book. I love all of your ideas, and I find my self nodding along with everything I am reading. Everything finally makes sense! I have been juicing greens everyday and i see and feel the benefits!

Once you get this everything does make sense. Getting clear can be simple. You just need to kick your butt and do it. If you don’t know how, let me take you by the hand and show how.
