A Facebook video with what may appear to be an ad for a 'free $3,500 allowance card' for seniors featuring Dr. Phil isn’t authentic.
. At least until you look more closely and realize the audio isn’t quite tracking with the video.
"It’s like a $3,300 allowance card for free," the voice that’s supposed to be Phil McGraw, the host of the TV show"Dr. Phil," says."They’re using it to buy groceries at stores like Walmart, pay for prescriptions, pay their rent, all sorts of things. It literally takes 30 seconds to fill out this questionnaire. I don’t understand why more seniors aren’t doing it. It’s really helping a lot of seniors who need this help.
This post was flagged as part of Facebook’s efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed. A spokesperson for the"Dr. Phil" show told us this isn’t really McGraw talking. The show footage featured in the video comes from an episode about online dating scams.“Because the Covid shots are still manufactured under the Emergency Use Authorization, they can change up to 49% of the ingredients without FDA approval.""This is 100% not real and he does not/did not endorse this," said Jerry Sharell, vice president of communications for"Dr. Phil."— us-relief.
