What happened

MalwareTips published two linked investigations on 18 October 2026: one into Men's Growth, a male-performance supplement sold through a page at drmichaelspencer.com, and a companion piece (malwaretips.com/blogs/dr-julia-caldwell-shark-tank-fake-doctor-scam/) into the 'Dr. Julia Caldwell' persona used to promote it. MalwareTips says the page uses Shark Tank-style video, presents the formula through Julia Caldwell, an apparent urologist whose advertised identity and television role it could not authenticate, and claims a $1 million investment by Lori Greiner. It found the product does not appear in ABC's official Shark Tank product list, notes that ABC warns merchants misuse the show and its investors in ads, and stresses that real people who share the Caldwell name should not be blamed for the advertising persona. The page also uses FDA-approval language, although the FDA does not approve dietary supplements before sale, and promises no side effects. Packages are shown at $158 for two bottles, $207 for three and $297 for six, with payment buttons leading to a different domain, pay.citolyn.com. MalwareTips says no full Supplement Facts panel, finished-product study, clearly established merchant or detailed refund procedure is provided, and advises not to buy through this presentation. Shark Tank, ABC and Lori Greiner are not shown to be involved.

How the scam works

MalwareTips describes the sales page as a series of steps. Television imagery makes the page feel pre-approved, and a doctor's story gives the formula a human authority. An impressive result is then presented without a usable study. Bundle cards steer attention toward the biggest purchase: the six-bottle package is pushed hardest, while the two- and three-bottle cards are shown alongside. MalwareTips says a multi-bottle order is an upfront quantity rather than an automatic refill subscription, but the final checkout terms could not be inspected, so recurring billing was neither confirmed nor ruled out.

The order buttons move to another domain, pay.citolyn.com. A separate checkout host can be legitimate, but the product, seller, quantity and total there should match the offer. Finally, a guarantee is expected to absorb any remaining doubt: the page repeatedly promises a 60-day money-back window but elsewhere refers to 30 days, and says refunds can be handled by email or phone without giving a complete, verified contact route or return address.

MalwareTips advises buyers to keep order details and screenshots, request refunds in writing, watch for later charges and put health concerns ahead of any refund argument.
