As Wa'il pointed out, we've had a number of herbalife, and other weight loss schemes and scams join us. And the introductory post is always the same ... canned and pre-packaged.

Hi! Lost a ton of weight with this amazing product. It's all natural, herbs, safe. Here's my phone/email/website/whatever ....
... and the nickname is always some gushing ILostLard or ManicWithEnergy or something like that. My sister sells this herbal, vitamin stuff .... she showed me the "training manual" for distributors. The first chapters are full of specific ad lines and promotional text they should use to lure customers. They're almost word for word like these ones.

That's the thing. It's just a line ... a gimmick.

Just my opinion, of course.
