Free Trial Scam

MYFOXNY.COM - Live longer! Look younger! Lose weight! Those are just some of the claims being made on the Internet for a supplement being touted as the fountain of youth in a pill.

But as Fox 5's Arnold Diaz reports, buyer beware. Many people who signed up for so-called free trials of the supplement Resveratrol say they were taken.

And now none other than Dr. Mehmet Oz is getting involved; he is suing many of the companies that sell the supplement because he says they are wrongly claiming he has endorsed their product.

STATEMENT FROM DR. OZ:

"The companies that are using my name to hawk these products are duping the public. I do not endorse any of these products. By falsely presenting products as 'scientifically proven' and endorsed by well-known figures, these companies do a gross disservice to the public health and could even pose a danger to those who believe their false and unproven claims. I am taking this step in the interest of public safety. I feel compelled to stand up against these companies and their deceitful practices."

--Dr. Mehmet Oz, host of "The Dr. Oz Show"
