The secret to Lisa Wilkinson's youthful appearance? NOT this product, apparently.

Lisa Wilkinson is angry.

Today Show host Lisa Wilkinson has been used as the face of a Facebook scam.

The scam shows Wilkinson’s photo next to a fake article supposedly from People Magazine promoting a skin care product that made her look ‘more youthful’.

Readers are then asked to buy the product for $4.00 – without knowing that if they do so, their accounts will be wiped of $480 or more.

Wilkinson addressed the fake report on Today this morning. She said she has spoken to women who have been scammed by it and has approached Facebook for help with removing the scam, but they would not help.

“It is absolute rubbish,” Wilkinson said.

“If you see this, run a mile from it. It’s got all these quotes from me which are complete rubbish.”

I unfortunately got caught by this scam and they have taken $557 from my credit card without my authority. I am a pensioner so it is very difficult for me to repay this. They made it sound like Lisa Wilkinson endorsed they product and it was $6.64 postage to be part of the trial. The use bogus company names on the withdrawal from the credit card, there are hundreds of people being caught in this scam.

I'm surprised you didn't mention Dickie's comment about rating campus women "for fun" or the other guy's remark about the leather couch that must have "seen a lot of action". Are you guys softening?
