Louise McSharry warns of fake Facebook ad using her wedding photo to promote weight loss

Louise McSharry has taken to Twitter to warn followers about a fake Facebook advertisement using her photo to promote weight loss.

“This Facebook page (which has only three likes) is promoting a post which uses our wedding photo,” she wrote.

She goes on to say the link directs members to a “bulls**t” non-existent site story on a bot website.

The page appears to be promoting weight loss for brides, under ‘Kitchen Gadgets Fun’ and uses a picture of Louise and husband Gordon Spierin.

“He couldn’t believe his eyes when his wife walked down the aisle. It was her goal to fit in her favourite dress and make it a day to remember,” the ad writes.

“The fact that she achieved her goal in weeks is what convinced everybody. Guests are now telling everyone how she did it.”

Ironically, the picture they used only exists on the internet as it appeared in an article McSharry wrote about how she didn’t try to lose weight for her wedding.

Louise ensured her followers that she reported the page and it has since been removed.
