Not feeling well this week I've been sleeping poorly and up late watching TV. Great time for infomercials!!
This one about the Velform Sauna belt always makes me laugh, wow, it makes you sweat, so does sitting in a sauna, all that does for you is dehydrate you... Any benefit in muscle relaxation etc. may be plausible but weight loss no way.
Anyway, decided to look it up with the word fraud, came to a few site, one called dietfruad.com which may have some good info for those looking for that "perfect product" but I found another one called

and for the velform part
http://www.infomercialscams.com/velform_sauna_belt.htm
there is user complaints in which the people have some horrible stories, mostly getting burned and stuff. I got a laugh out of it, which I guess is a little bit mean.. But I wonder if they deserve it? I guess there should be some standard of consumer protection but there also has to be a level of buyer responsibility..
Had to add this one
