Acai lipo scam

http://colonlipo.trytadalafil.com/uk/trial/?

This came up on AOL advertising and seems very reputable. They are a scam company and I very nearly fell for it..

    Glad you didn't fall for it. Just a tip for the future - nothing good ever came from a heavily advertised health product with miraculous claims. Snake Oil sellers have been around forever...
