Overview
- Charité, which issued a public warning Thursday, says videos and photos fake its logo and staff to sell products online.
- The ads pitch items from weight-loss patches and cannabis oils to alleged Alzheimer cures, diabetes pills, reading glasses, and even a pulse oximeter falsely claiming to read blood sugar.
- The hospital says platforms often offer little help and many sellers are outside the EU, which hinders takedowns and identification.
- Charité reports fake posts to platforms, contacts shop operators when an imprint exists, and pursues legal steps while working with the LKA cybercrime unit.
- The clinic urges people to ignore these offers and look for red flags like no legal imprint, high prices, staged videos, pressure tactics, and miracle claims.
