Lori Greiner, the “Queen of QVC” and the “warm-blooded shark” on Shark Tank, has taken a strong stance against bogus plastic surgery and commercial ads claiming her endorsements.
Lori Greiner, an American businesswoman, and television personality are best known for her role as a star investor on the 4x Emmy Award-winning show Shark Tank. Her ability to turn unknown products into big names has earned her the title of “Queen of QVC.” The 51-year-old multi-millionaire favors things with high usefulness, i.e., those that make “people’s lives easier.”
As a result, the entrepreneur-turned-celebrity is furious that scammers are increasingly utilizing her picture in fraudulent commercials to defraud people with products (mainly keto pills) that claim to provide misleading benefits.
Due to the large number of unwary consumers who have fallen victim to such frauds, the entrepreneur has taken steps to raise public awareness about these false advertisements.
Lori Greiner’s Pictures Used for Fake Plastic Surgery and Scams
Greiner has been fighting false advertising for a long time. In 2017, the entrepreneur shared a photo on Facebook with the caption “Warning,” indicating that bogus advertising with her photo touting anti-aging products was circulating.
“Any advertisements claiming that I am selling or linked with any form of face cream or anti-aging product are false! It’s a SCAM; I’m not linked with them in any way, and they’re misusing my image and name,” she wrote.

Scammers doctored a photo of the 51-year-old with the proprietors of Drop Stop – a firm she had collaborated with on Shark Tank – to create an advertisement for a drug that boosts men’s sexual drive, she stated during her guest appearance on The Dr. Oz Show. Greiner has also been linked to rumors of plastic surgery on untrustworthy websites. Her images are also being exploited on dubious websites to persuade unsuspecting customers to go under the knife or to trick them into signing up for fraudulent plastic surgery registrations.
For example, a site called The Larkin Group (which is actually the name of a US-based insurance company) marketed plastic surgery as “Lori Greiner plastic surgery.” It’s unclear what these sites’ objective is, but they distribute bogus information using celebrity names in any case. Because of Lori’s appearance, uninformed people may be susceptible to such misleading information. Because, let’s face it, for a woman her age, the QVC Queen is stunning. She also appears to be getting younger as the season of Shark Tank progresses.
Greiner Has Raised a voice against Fake Ads
The QVC Queen used social media to warn fans about phony ads and asked them to share her postings to help spread the word.
In one such Twitter video, Greiner informs her thousands of fans that there is a slew of fraudulent advertisements on Facebook and Instagram that use illegal photographs of herself and other Sharks to promote keto or diet items.

“They steal our photos and photoshop their product into our hands, making it appear as if we are endorsing or supporting these things. No, we aren’t. In the video, Greiner says, “I’ve never done a keto or diet product.” To reach a wider audience, the Shark Tank investor appeared on The Dr. OZ Show, where he explained how misleading commercials are generated and how people fall prey to them.
“Warning- I DON’T use Keto or Diet Products!” the TV personality writes on her own website, lorigreiner.com, as well as her Instagram and Twitter bios.
Her website, in particular, contains a section headed “Beware of Fake Ads,” the first line of which reads, “I do not sell or support any “Keto” or “Weight Loss” goods, and I’m NOT associated with these ads in any way.”
The page also includes a link to the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center, which encourages visitors to report scam ads if they see one.
