Saga “Hijacked!” – Episode #6
It all starts with a series of viral videos. Michel Cymes, a well-known doctor and an emblematic figure of the French media landscape, appears on camera to praise the benefits of miracle products:
💊 A revolutionary syrup for diabetes, supposedly allowing people to stop their medical treatment
⚖️ Ultra-effective weight loss pills, promoted as his secret solution to rapid weight loss
🌿 A natural supplement with incredible properties, claimed to cure hypertension with no side effects
The images are convincing, the words sound authentic.
Yet, Michel Cymes never recorded these videos.
📺 Deepfake and image manipulation: Fake videos where his face and voice are perfectly replicated
📰 Fake articles and doctored interviews, inserted into formats resembling credible TV news reports
📢 Massively broadcast ads on Facebook, Instagram, and other platforms, primarily targeting people seeking health solutions
Internet users fall for the trap.
Some order these fraudulent products, while others even stop their medical treatment, putting their health at risk.
🛑 Michel Cymes immediately warns:
“I do not endorse any diets or miracle drugs. These videos are scams!”
Don’t be fooled.
