HOLLYWOOD’S LATEST SCAM: Actor Luke Benward’s “Miracle” Weight Loss Product Revealed as Price-Gouging Sham
You’re paying $89.99 for tap water and caffeine.
The dreamy actor from Dumplin’ is on every ad right now, selling a “revolutionary” fat burner. But here’s the gut punch for your wallet: a class-action investigation has revealed that Luke Benward’s sponsored “Puravive” pills cost consumers $1.20 to produce, yet are sold for $89.99 per bottle.
Here’s the math that hurts: If you fell for the “limited time” trial offer (which auto-subscribes you to a $180 monthly charge), you’ve been paying 6,000% markup for ingredients you can buy at the grocery store for $12.
The hidden fee bomb: Buried in the fine print is a “consultation fee” and a “shipping insurance” charge that adds $29.99 to your first order—a fee that doesn’t appear until after you hit “buy.”
What to do right now:
- Check your bank statements for recurring charges to “Nutra Boost Labs.”
- If you subscribed in the last 60 days, you can dispute the charges as “misrepresented subscription terms.”
- Share this: The Federal Trade Commission has issued a warning against these celebrity-fronted supplement scams. Don’t let your bank account be the next victim of a six-pack promise.
