- Its own copy promises never to fabricate testimonials while displaying those scraped comments
- Homepage trust counters render as 0K+ medical professionals, 0.0M+ patients and 0M+ successful orders
- Labels its compounded tirzepatide a Mounjaro compound, conflating a compounded drug with the brand
