It seems everywhere you look there is a deceiving ad for white teeth. Have you been to the mall lately? You’ll see people strapped into chairs, unable to break the hold from the glowing device in their mouth.
I made the mistake of looking at one these prisoners while walking by; the body remained still yet the eyes followed me and I felt the urge to run over and set them free. The lines of people waiting for their turn at torture persuaded me otherwise.
If you turn to the internet, such as MSNBC and scroll down to the bottom of the page, you’ll notice an ad for Whiter teeth.
It’s all based on the location you are visiting from. When I visit from my computer in Muskegon, MI, I receive this ad for white teeth:
Muskegon: Mom Discovers $3 Whitening Trick
Dentists Do NOT Want You To Know About This Teeth Whitening Secret!
ConsumersDigestWeekly.com
However, when I visit MSNBC from Englewood, CO, I’ll receive this ad:
Englewood: Mom Discovers $3 Whitening Trick
Dentists Do NOT Want You To Know About This Teeth Whitening Secret!
ConsumersDigestWeekly.com
These ads will take you to a teeth whitening site that looks a lot like CNN, but it’s called CDW and to help solidify CNN in your mind, the have ‘as seen on’ with the CNN logo designed to give the site authority and not expose it as the scam it is!
Below are two snaphots of the site – click on the snapshop to see a larger version and you’ll clearly see the deception!
Above you’ll see a snapshot of the scam when visiting the site from Muskegon, MI which reads:
“Amy, an ordinary mom from Muskegon, MI discovered a clever trick to get a celebrity smile for less than $4.”
“Thanks to the trick she discovered, thousands of consumers have been able to whiten their teeth from home.”
And if you are visiting the teeth whitening site from Englewood, CO, then you’ll see something that looks like the snapshot above and reads like this:
“Amy, an ordinary mom from Englewood, CO discovered a clever trick to get a celebrity smile for less than $4.”
“Thanks to the trick she discovered, thousands of consumers have been able to whiten their teeth from home.”
Give it a shot yourself, visit MSNBC.com and scroll down to the bottom of the page, then click on the whitening ad and you’ll see Amy’s testimony but claiming to be from your area.
