Prostate Supplement Scam Warning Signs: A 12-Point Checklist
Twelve signs separate careful supplement pages from hype: a named maker, printed amounts, named studies, a lab report, honest reviews, no fake urgency, no disease promises, a clear refund, real contact details, a known retailer, balanced cautions and a doctor you can verify. Score any page, including this one.

The basics01
Why a checklist?
Because hype is persuasive and checklists are not. A short list of yes or no questions slows the decision enough to notice what is missing.
The FTC advises searching a product with the words scam and complaints, and comparing reviews across sites, before trusting a testimonial (FTC, Fake endorsements)(FTC, Evaluate Online Reviews). A checklist turns that advice into a routine.
The twelve points below apply to any prostate supplement page. We have scored Prostadine against them at the end, and invite you to score us.
The evidence02
The twelve points
| Warning sign | Good sign |
|---|---|
| 1. No named maker | Maker and facility named |
| 2. No amounts printed | Supplement Facts panel with amounts |
| 3. Unnamed studies | Citations with authors, journal and year |
| 4. No lab report | Certificate for your lot |
| 5. Perfect reviews, no dates | Verified, dated, mixed reviews (FTC, Rule banning fake reviews) |
| 6. Countdown timers and last bottles | Steady, stated pricing |
| 7. Disease claims or fix-it promises | Soft wording and honest limits (FTC, Health Products Compliance Guidance) |
| 8. Vague refund | Written steps and time limits |
| 9. No phone or address | Working contact details |
| 10. Unknown seller | Named retailer |
| 11. No cautions | Interactions and who should ask first |
| 12. Badge with no name | A doctor you can verify |
The numbers03
How to score a page
Give one point for each good sign. Ten or more points suggest a careful page. Seven to nine suggest caution and questions to the seller. Six or fewer suggest looking elsewhere.
The score is a rough guide, not a verdict. A good page can lose points for a missing detail, and a poor page can be polished. The value is in noticing the gaps and asking about them.
The catch04
How does Prostadine score?
On our reading of the documents we hold: it gains points for a named retailer, working contact details, written refund steps, soft rather than disease wording and honest, if limited, cautions on our own pages. It loses points for no named maker, no amounts, unnamed studies, no lab report and a badge with no named doctor.
That puts it in the middle, which matches our wider view on the legit check page. It is not shown to be fraud, and it is not shown to be what it claims.
Safety05
What do look-alike sites do?
They copy the brand's name, logo and text and sell from a different address. Some take your card and send nothing. Others send a copy. Telltale signs are small spelling changes in the web address, a missing contact page, prices that differ from the official order page and payment by unusual methods.
Always arrive at a checkout from a link on the brand's own info page or on a site you trust, and look at the address bar before you enter card details. A bookmark of the correct page helps, and so does a password manager that refuses to fill in a card on the wrong domain.
If you think you used a look-alike, call your card issuer at once, ask for the card to be replaced and watch statements for odd charges.
What to do06
What about fake urgency?
Countdown timers, only a few bottles left and prices that vanish are common tactics. They are meant to shorten the time you spend checking. Our site shows the prices as listed on the order page and does not frame them as expiring. If you see a timer on a checkout, ask yourself whether the price would still be there tomorrow, and take a day to check.
A legitimate offer survives a night of checking. Pressure to decide in minutes is a warning sign in itself.

The same checklist applies to this site. We name our limits, show no ratings we cannot verify, link every figure to a source and say who may pay us. We have an open slot for a medical reviewer and do not invent one. See our standards and judge for yourself.
FAQ08
Prostadine questions people ask
What are the warning signs of a supplement scam?
No named maker, no amounts, unnamed studies, no lab report, perfect reviews, fake urgency, disease claims, a vague refund and no real contact details.
Is a countdown timer a scam?
It is a pressure tactic. Real offers survive a night of checking. If a price vanishes when the timer ends, ask whether it was ever a real deadline.
How many points should a good page score?
Ten or more of twelve suggest a careful page. Seven to nine suggest caution. Six or fewer suggest you look elsewhere. It is a rough guide, not a verdict.
Where can I report a scam?
Report to the FTC, your card issuer if you paid by card and the platform where you saw the ad. Keep screenshots, order emails and dates.
