It seems that slimming tea scams are rearing their ugly head again, all over the internet.

Don't fall for the hype that these teas can make you thin, they can't.  There is absolutely no evidence to support that drinking tea can make you thin.

It is not the first time tea has been promoted as a weight-loss aid. The conman Peter Foster and his then girlfriend Samantha Fox were fined £21,000 for marketing Bai Lin "slimming" tea in Britain in 1994.

In the US a consumer advocacy group started legal action against a particular beverage saying that its marketing was deceptive.

Don't fall for these scams and save your money.
