Memo Honey Scam Video Falsely Shows AI Bill Gates

In August 2026, online scammers promoted a scam falsely claiming tech billionaire Bill Gates formulated a “honey shield” protocol into a pill form labeled Memo Honey supplements. According to the marketing, Gates’ creation cures Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.

However, an investigation found Memo Honey is the latest chapter in a long-running scam. Gates has no legitimate involvement, nor did he put together a honey recipe to cure memory loss. Scammers edited videos with artificial intelligence tools to make it appear as if he and other famous people including Steve Martin, Morgan Freeman and others all praised the product.

These scams seek to defraud as many victims as possible. Once a buyer begins or finished buying the pills, a call center worker attempts to upsell that customer on more supplements, including with subscription charges recurring monthly. None of the pills have any miracle properties, however. It’s all as scammy as it gets.

I researched and edited a YouTube video about Memo Honey capsules and the alleged Gates’ “honey shield.” Watch to find out more about this subject.

Bill Gates’ Memo Honey scam

The following displays a transcript from my YouTube video for any consumers wishing to read through my findings about Memo Honey. Please note that some of the transcript originates from scam-busting materials with false claims:

This video reports on the fact that there is a scam out there, something called Memo Honey supplements and a promise of a “honey shield” for Alzheimer’s and dementia. A cure for Alzheimer’s and dementia involving Clint Eastwood, Scott Eastwood, Dr. Yoshinori Ohsumi, maybe Morgan Freeman, maybe Bill Gates, some sort of a honey recipe. All of this is a scam. It’s just the latest chapter. This, this Memo Honey supplement, this gummy, this pill, this capsule, whatever it is, is the latest chapter of scammers from Brazil, maybe China, more likely Brazil, trying to scam you out of your money, trying to defraud you so that you believe this is actually an Alzheimer’s and dementia cure, that there is some honey recipe involving different ingredients in your pantry that can actually reverse Alzheimer’s and dementia, and there isn’t.

The recipe promise is something you’re going to see in a video online on a website. I’ll show you part of that in a minute. They only mention the recipe to try to get you to keep watching the video. If they told you at the beginning of the video was going to be a bottle of pills, you wouldn’t watch it, right? But they tell you, “Hey, it’s a recipe involving honey and things you already have. It’s a miracle.” They get people by doing that. And right off the top of this video, please hit the like button down below, the thumbs up button. That’ll tell Google and YouTube my video has value and credibility. And then my video might be able to jump over some scam results created by scammers that are currently the top of Google search results so that I can help people stay away from this.

So, this begins in an ad somewhere online, maybe social media, a mobile game you’re playing, maybe on a website next to an article, and then it goes to a website like this. It’s a fake CBS News website. It’s not cbsnews.com. It’s a website that scammers put together to make you think you’re reading from CBS News, and you’re not. It says, “Scott Eastwood breaks down after Japan’s oldest doctor reveals his father completely reversed Alzheimer’s.” This is an AI-generated image of Scott Eastwood and Clint Eastwood. This is Dr. Yoshinori Ohsumi. Someone eating honey. Morgan Freeman. Not legitimate at all. And so we can go ahead and move past this.

There’s an Anderson Cooper “60 Minutes” interview, Dr. Yoshinori Ohsumi supposedly where he talked about this and he never did. No doctors, hospitals, universities or famous people ever endorsed a honey recipe or Memo Honey supplements for memory loss, brain fog, Alzheimer’s, dementia. I’m moving kind of fast, I know, but I’m trying to tell you, if you saw this out there, it’s a scam. And the point behind this is so that people can get your money, of course, and then call you, upsell you on even more supplements, get you hooked on them like monthly with a subscription or whatever. And before you know it, you’re out of either hundreds or thousands of dollars, and the only way to get a refund is to, you know, call, do your best if you have a lawyer, whatever. Or the scammers might just offer you 50% of your money back, which is like the standard thing, or somewhere in the middle because they want to keep part of your money. They want to keep the heat off of them, but they also want to keep part of the money, trying to split the difference or whatever.

So, this will eventually go all the way down and it’ll load up a video here. You can see it says, “Click here to watch the video.” And it takes you to a video I already finished.” You can see right here that it has Dr. Mark Hyman at the very end of it. “Neurologists: The ‘Honey Shield’ Brain Trick May Restore Memory After Age 60.” This is a scam video. I’m going to hit play on this. And then after the video ends, it’ll show you Memo Honey packages. So, you can order Memo Honey. And that is a scam. Memo Honey. You won’t be able to find the founder’s name. You won’t be able to find where they bottle it, any information because it’s just a rebranded product, a new name for a product that has existed under many other product names. And scammers keep changing the product name to keep the the name fresh in Google search results and other search results online. If they come up with a new name and they make a bunch of websites and videos, they can dominate that space on the first page of Google search results for like Memo Honey before someone like me, a scam-busting person comes in and tries to help people stay away from this garbage.

Let’s hit play on this video now, watch part of it from the beginning and then I’ll tell you what I know about this. The dangerous things about this and then we’ll try to wrap it up. Hopefully not taking too long. “If you have honey at home, you already have 90% of what you need to reverse memory loss.” Gonna tell you real quick: if you see anyone familiar talking in this video, it’s AI. It’s not real. No doctors, hospitals, universities or famous people ever endorsed any of this. So if you see anyone famous speaking, they didn’t actually say what it looks like they’re saying. That’s artificial intelligence. “I never believed dementia or Alzheimer’s could be completely reversed until I saw what this honey trick did for me. Know that ordinary honey from Walmart is all you need to regain a clear, sharp memory in less than 2 weeks. Give me 60 seconds to explain. Today I’m going to show you the 2-minute morning ritual that restores memory and puts an end to any type of dementia, brain fog or forgetfulness. If you or someone you love is struggling with these symptoms, this video is for you. A new honey-based protocol, which was leaked to the international media after proving more effective than conventional treatments, was revealed last week. But in case you missed it, I’m going to show you how to prepare this 2-minute method that reversed my own cognitive decline.”

This video will never tell you whatever the supposed recipe is. There is no recipe. It’s a lie to get you to keep watching so that you order the product. And you might be asking me, “Well, Jordan, why would someone order this product at the end, a bottle of pills, if they’re promised a recipe?” I don’t know. I think people invest an hour of time, and then at some point, the video says that they’ve formulated the recipe into a bottle of pills, into a pill form, and that’s what makes sense to people and gets them to fall for the scam. And then you receive the phone call trying to upsell you on other items.

This is all bad. If you did fall for a scam like this, call your bank or credit card company, whichever one you used, and report fraud. Try to get your money back and do whatever you can to let your bank or your credit card company know that that company is engaged in fraudulent practices. “Four months ago, my family was preparing to place me in a nursing home. I had been struggling with severe memory loss for over a year to the point where I sometimes couldn’t recognize my own grandson.” This is all AI. You might be like, “Well, that’s Morgan Freeman. What are you talking about? He recorded videos for this, Jordan.” He didn’t. It’s fake. It’s all AI.

And some people ask me like, “How come he’s not suing?” I don’t know. Who are the scammers? Can you tell me who the scammers are? Can you tell me where they are? Can you tell me how someone a celebrity would end up suing them? I I don’t know where they are. I just know that they might be in Brazil or China. Right. “I became confused, sometimes even aggressive, and would get lost inside my own home. My family believed the only safe option was a place where I could be monitored around the clock. What I didn’t know was that a simple mix of honey with two inexpensive ingredients already sitting in my pantry was going to bring me back. No expensive medications, no important supplements, no memory games, none of those things that never work.”

No important supplements? This is going to end up being supplements, Memo Honey, and it doesn’t have any legitimacy whatsoever. “I’ll be honest, my family had already lost hope, but they convinced me to try this honey protocol, and the results still give me chills to this day. In just 3 days, I stopped waking up confused about where I was. Within the first week, I started remembering names, birthdays and family stories. I thought …” Why are they mixing a white guy with Morgan Freeman and stock video of a doctor? “… believe the change in my condition after so much suffering. I can’t put into words what it felt like to sit with my family.” That’s all AI right there. “… with them again.

Today, at my age, after following this honey ritual, I feel clearer and sharper than I have in years. And if this sounds too good to be true, know that renowned specialists from the Gates Medical Research Institute confirm its effectiveness. No side effects, no risk and even more powerful than the most expensive treatments out there because it targets the true cause of memory loss: cadmium, a toxic metal that silently accumulates in the neurons over decades, corroding the brain’s ability to function from the inside out. Millions of Americans over 60 are already using this to get their memory and their joy of living back. Meanwhile, the pharmaceutical industry keeps making billions off products that only bring disappointment because a theory that has been proven fraudulent still props up every single medication they sell.”

And people all the time get in my comments and they’re like, “You want us to go see a doctor, Jordan?” No, I want you to not buy pills from scammers. And you might, you might, I don’t, you might consider doctors a scam or pharmacists or whatever, but they talk about Big Pharma the way they just did there because they’re trying to get you the scammers are trying to toy with your emotions to get you to pull out your wallet. And I hope that you understand that. I’m coming from a genuine credible standpoint, viewpoint, whichever one’s correct, and trying to save you money.

“If this video found you, take that as a sign. I got my independence back and I’m never going back to those prescription medications. Bill Gates’s video is free, but Big Pharma has already filed.” AI Big Pharma! AI Big Pharma office! “… here at any moment. If it’s still available, watch it now all the way through. Your only regret will be not having watched it sooner.” “60 Minutes” never reported anything about this. This is fake. “Tonight on ’60 Minutes,’ we investigate how Steven Martin, Clint Eastwood, Morgan Freeman and several other celebrities …”

Hey scammers, his name is Steve Martin. No one calls him Steven Martin. So you got that wrong from whatever country it is that you made this garbage video in this. Ok, Steve Martin has nothing to do with this. Morgan Freeman, Bill Gates has nothing to do with any of this stuff. It’ll all AI. I’m repeating myself. Sometimes elderly people are watching. They need extra help, extra repetition. I hope that you understand. And Lesley Stahl never talked about this on “60 Minutes” at all. That’s AI. Fake. Completely fake. “… simple recipe that costs less than $1 a day.” And that doesn’t look like Lesley Stahl. It’s AI as well.

“… toxin that’s accumulating between your neurons right now with no synthetic pills, no side effects and up to three times more potent than Aricept and Namenda when prepared correctly. Here’s what really shocked the researchers. People following this natural honey ritual.” It doesn’t look like Lesley Stahl. Looks like Lesley Stahl from 30 years ago, but with a different face. It doesn’t make sense. “… are reversing memory loss and getting out of the danger zone before the end of summer. No exercise, no memory game, just following this incredibly simple routine.

Tonight, we’re going to reveal the truth behind it. We’re going to test the method and demonstrate the complete recipe in live with Bill Gates, who went viral after investing more than $100 million to discover the true cause of Alzheimer’s ever since losing his own father to this terrible disease. But that’s not all. Steve Martin …” Did they really just show AI Bill Gates at his father’s casket? AI casket? Like completely fake? My goodness. “… claims he used exactly that same trick to completely get rid of Aricept and Namenda and recover the memories he thought he had lost forever. And at the end of the program, we’re going to reveal the complete step-by-step recipe that these celebrities follow. Check out this exclusive video that Steve Martin himself sent to us.”

“Uh, this honey ritual is incredible. In 3 days, I remembered where I left my keys and I stopped confusing people’s names.” We don’t need to keep watching. This is insane, of course. And if you did watch to this point, thank you so much because I know this video went on longer. People drop off way before the end of the video.

So, this is a scam. There’s no “honey shield.” “Honey shield” is something that scammers came up with that sounds interesting. And Memo Honey is an outright scam. This is the same, This is the exact same product that’s had many other names before. Scammers just keep changing the name to keep it fresh in search results. And you know, again, if you did order this and you received a phone call, that’s from people who are trying to further scam you. I mean, that that’s all that is. Memo Honey has no legitimacy. This is all garbage. Go see a doctor. These scammers are trying to emotionally manipulate you to distrust your primary care physician, the person you established if to like go see if you’re sick, to distrust any sort of, you know, prescription medications, anything. I’m not saying that Big Pharma is good. No one is saying that ever. I love the movie “The Rainmaker,” you know, the book, whatever. You understand what I’m talking about? “The Rainmaker.”

But like, don’t let the scammers manipulate you into losing thousands of dollars, including a subscription charges, that you did not authorize or want a money-back guarantee that’s not going to be honored, and the fact that some of these pills people tell me my comments all the time, they make them sick to their stomach. Sometimes people even have to go to the emergency room. This has so many bad aspects to it. At the very end of the process, it will take you to go to buy the product on a website that has a pre-checked “I agree to the terms and conditions and privacy policy” way below the final checkout button. Like, it’s hidden way down the page. And that’s just as as terrible as it gets. It’s not FDA registered. It’s not anything that it claims to be on that final checkout page. It claims that there’s a 9.6 out of 10 score for the reviews with 26,242 reviews and I’m seeing that appearing on the website buygoods.com. So like, comment, subscribe. I hope that I helped you. If I did, please hit the like button. That’s really big to me. And thank you so much for watching.
