"Reverse My Tinnitus" scam [View all]

This morning, I received spam offering a 14-day "cure" for tinnitus called "Reverse My Tinnitus." The link was to a presentation that was eerily similar to an "investment secrets" pitch I saw a few months ago. But searching around on the web for more info, I found that the web itself has been spammed over the last few days with "reviews," "news stories" and social media postings that are just sales pitches. (Even one titled "Reverse My Tinnitus Reviews Expose Dr. James Phillips And Alan Watson Reverse My Tinnitus Program Hoax" on a Fox channel website turned out to be just the same sales pitch, reposted from some obscure "news" source.)

I've never seen such a broad-based scampaign.
