From Scams Exposed
Site type: Fake News
Product being advertised: Alpha Force Testo
Bait used: Advert (Google Adsense).
Ad text: "They Said Get Swole: After putting this boxer's routine to the test my friends barely recognize me"
Ad text (for mirror site): "McGregor Issued Suspension - Knocks Out His Own Career: Since McGregor told them this, the fighters commission has issued a suspension."
Pretends to be: ESPN.
"Story": Site claims that Floyd Mayweather found out that Conor McGregor has been using Alpha Force Testo, and that he told "ESPN" about it. It then goes on to say that Alpha Force has been "clinically proven to make athletes 145% stronger on average and triples stamina, making it unfair to players who don't use it" and that it "(doesn't) have to be used in conjunction with a gym... users experience massive muscle growth and fat loss without lifting a single weight" (citation needed). Ryan Hasman, the fake reporter, then tests Alpha Force. He allegedly lost 19 pounds of stomach fat and gained 16 pounds of pure muscle in one month.

Note: This fake news story was mostly copy-pasted from Revolution Break.
Note 2: This fake news story eerily resembles this Acai Berry scam ad from 2010.
