identifying health fraud scams
a health fraud scam is a way to fool people about health products that may not be all theyre cracked up to be. they play on our desires for a quick fix and bombard us with deceptive marketing.... they can be found everywhere, promising help for many common health issues, including weight loss, memory loss, sexual performance, and joint pain. these scams are risky for the consumer. relying on unproven products can lead to delays in getting the proper treatment and can cause serious or fatal injuries. these claims are often used in health fraud scams and should be considered red flags: miraculous cure; quick fix; ancient remedy; and new discovery. many claim to offer no - risk money back guarantee. additionally, if a product claims to cure a wide range of unrelated diseases, its probably a scam. no one product can treat or cure many different illnesses.

according to this passage, health fraud scams can be identified by which features? check all that apply.
□ promise a quick fix
□ promise a miraculous cure
□ claim a new discovery
□ claim a cure for a specific disease
□ link to valid scientific studies
□ offer a no - risk, money - back guarantee

Explanation:

The passage lists red flags for health fraud scams. "Promise a quick fix" is mentioned as they play on the desire for a quick fix. "Promise a miraculous cure" is listed as a red - flag claim. "Claim a new discovery" is also among the red - flag claims. "Offer a no - risk, money - back guarantee" is stated as something many scams claim. However, "claim a cure for a specific disease" is not a general red flag (the passage warns about claiming to cure a wide range of unrelated diseases), and "link to valid scientific studies" is the opposite of what scams do (they use unproven products).

Answer:

promise a quick fix, promise a miraculous cure, claim a new discovery, offer a no - risk, money - back guarantee
