“Scammers are using my name to promote and sell CBD products”

“Scammers are using my name to promote and sell CBD products that I didn’t know existed until now.” In a tweet published on Tuesday September 6, Bernard Pivot alerts his community to a scam that would usurp his identity. “Complacent publications are hypocritically astonished by my presence in this business. I filed a complaint”he continues in his message.

A site of products composed of CannaBiDiol would indeed offer for sale “Bernard Pivot CBD Gummies”hemp gummies. “You will discover the best remedy for chronic pain relief and pain related issues with the help of the best Bernard Pivot CBD Gummies», can we read in a “chronicle” linked to the brand’s Facebook page. In the comments of the publications, Internet users cry scam: “I ordered and paid on August 29, I’m still waiting for delivery”can we read.

The 87-year-old journalist and writer is apparently not the first to be targeted by this type of scam. A few months ago, it was Brigitte Bardot who alerted her community in a press release published on Twitter of the publication of “advertising and fake social media interviews for a line of essential oils” that the actress would have created. Here too, CBD products would have the virtue of “reduce pain, anxiety and others”. On Facebook, in the pages related to the one who would usurp the identity of Bernard Pivot, another page called “Alain Delon CBD Gummies” seems to use the same process.
