Watch out — Glycopezil deepfake scam
Don’t trust viral ‘Glycopezil drops’ claims and MIT‑backed cure videos — fact‑checkers confirm these are AI deepfake scam promotions with no scientific basis. (jordanliles.com)
AI‑generated footage in the Glycopezil ads falsely portrays an MIT link and uses deepfaked or heavily edited likenesses of Dr. Sanjay Gupta, Barbara O’Neill, Dr. Robert Lustig, Dr. Phil McGraw and celebrities including Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, Rebel Wilson, Meghan Trainor, Dr. Mehmet Oz and Serena Williams. (jordanliles.com) The campaign appears as long‑form, news‑style videos hosted on social platforms and landing pages, often showing a home “honey” or “Japanese red vitamin” recipe before revealing the marketed product at the end. (malwaretips.com) Search traffic spiked for Glycopezil in March 2026 as viewers sought verification after seeing those videos, and independent reviewers found no evidence MIT developed or endorsed any Glycopezil product. (jordanliles.com) One Glycopezil sales page claims a 9.3/10 score based on “42,534” reviews that do not appear on retail platforms, and reviewers reported the same formula later reappearing under the name “Gluco Tonic.” (jordanliles.com) Fact‑checking outlets and newsrooms have classified these supplement ads as deepfakes or fabricated edits, noting audio‑visual mismatches and drawing parallels with earlier bogus diabetes remedy videos removed or labeled by platforms. (politifact.com) Security and consumer‑protection sites documenting the funnel say Glycopezil’s claims lack credible clinical evidence for reversing type 2 diabetes and flag the marketing pattern — fake endorsements, inflated review counts and rebranding — as hallmarks of scam campaigns.
