Executive Summary
HEALTH, DIET SCAMS AMONG TOP 12 ELECTRONIC "SPAM" FRAUDS named by Federal Trade Commission Bureau of Consumer Protection Director Jodie Bernstein at a press conference on "spam," or unsolicited commercial e-mail, July 14. "These [scams] offer `scientific breakthroughs,' `miraculous cures,' `exclusive products,' `secret formulas' and `ancient ingredients,'" Bernstein noted. "Some come with testimonials from `cured' consumers or endorsements from `famous medical experts' no one's ever heard of," she continued. "These bogus cure-alls are just electronic snake oil."
