In April 2025, online marketers promoted advertisements leading to purported reviews for a product named Catalina Farms CBD Gummies. According to the marketing, Fox News reported on FoxNews.com that their TV host, Dana Perino, created and endorsed the product, and that the gummies could “instantly and permanently reverse dementia.”
However, Catalina Farms CBD Gummies was simply the latest in a long line of CBD gummies scams. Fox News never reported about the product and no famous people — including the network’s hosts — shared any involvement with any such gummies.
Editor’s Note: Please do not contact similarly-named companies, as they have nothing to do with the scam. Also, if you’re encountering health problems, please make a doctor’s appointment with a medical professional, rather than relying on strange supplements marketed online by faceless and nameless people.
Fake Fox News Article Featuring Dana Perino
One fake Fox News article promoting Catalina Farms CBD Gummies and circulating online in April 2025 appeared on holdan.top. The article displayed the page layout found on FoxNews.com in an attempt to fool consumers into believing they were reading from the network’s official website.
The fake Fox News article falsely claimed host Dana Perino created the gummies and offered free samples. The headline read, “Dana Perino Leaves ‘The Five’ and Sparks Major Lawsuit Against Fox: Her Response on Air.”
The article also falsely claimed Brit Hume authored the story, reading in part:
(Fox) – In an Exclusive Interview, Dana Perino, the renowned former White House Press Secretary, political commentator, and businesswoman, announced that she would be leaving ‘The Five’ due to recent tensions with Sean Hannity, caused by her latest business venture.
Last week, during a heated episode, the popular conservative host, Dana Perino, made headlines by unveiling her new CBD line live on ‘The Five’. Sean Hannity was outraged and expressed his intention to sue Dana Perino and Fox for violating his contract and allegedly driving away sponsors. Dana Perino responded with the following statement:
“I understand that Sean is simply targeting my timeslot. I refuse to succumb to ‘Cancel Culture.’ When I embarked on this journey back in 2022, it was initially a part-time passion project and my way of giving back. Having received so much, I believed there was no better time to make Catalina Farms CBD Gummies accessible to everyone, as it has the potential to help thousands of individuals live pain-free and happier lives.”
Later, the story misleadingly claimed, the product could “instantly and permanently reverse dementia.”
Fake Catalina Farms CBD Gummies Reviews
Inauthentic reviews for Catalina Farms CBD Gummies appeared at the end of the Fox News article. None of the following reviews contained truth:

I’ll stand by this, the results are incredible. I thought I had nothing to lose because I’m sober every day. Glad I tried it.

I had a friend who is a medical practitioner read through the studies, and she was shocked at how credible they were. I purchased mine and couldn’t believe how fast I started seeing results.

It worked for me! Just as I thought it would. It was easy enough, and I just want others to know when something works.
Catalina Farms CBD Gummies Scam Website
The fake Fox News article linked to secure.catalinafarmscbd.com — a website without a homepage.
The website featured false information, including claims of “extremely high media demand,” “limited supply” and news media outlet coverage from Yahoo Finance, MarketWatch, Ok Magazine and USA Today. No news media outlets ever reported about the product.
Also, the page displayed a misleading promise about a “discounted bottle.” The “discount” referenced the main part of the scam, that being hidden monthly subscription costs buried in the terms and conditions documentation at the bottom of the website.
The bottom of catalinafarmscbd.com displayed a disclaimer beginning with an asterisk. However, no preceding asterisk existed on the page. The disclaimer read:
