Office of Fat Trading

[EXC]

The OFT have launched 2 fake weight loss websites with the intention of ''drawing consumers to the spoof – but initially convincing – miracle cure sites and then revealing that they are the victims of a potential scam. Internet banner advertising, sponsored links on search engine sites, and keyword techniques that push the sites higher up in online searches, will be used to drive consumers looking for health or slimming treatments to the fake websites.''

Not quite sure how convincing they will be when the url contains ''gov.uk'' and ''scams''.

It will be just as convincing to some folks as the links they click on with URLS like
