Miyagi Scandal Exposed
from Australia News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
A company called Miyagi is facing federal court action from the ACCC after allegedly deceiving thousands of Australians by posing as medical professionals. Sales reps allegedly used scripted pitches to convince vulnerable customers—many dealing with real health issues—that their lives were at risk unless they signed up for costly wellness programs, costing up to $7,500. The ACCC claims these reps gave false “professional opinions” on conditions like heart disease and obesity, pressured over 6,000 people, and refused refunds. The scam, running from 2022 to 2025, used social media ads for “free consultations,” followed by high-pressure sales calls pushing 6- to 18-month programs. The lawsuit also targets founder Shane Da Costa, accused of approving deceptive contracts and scripts. This is a disturbing case where health anxiety was weaponized for profit.
