Throughout the end of last week, Ashy Bines public Facebook page for her Bikini Body challenge franchise has been asking for personal information for her followers to sign up on a new 12 week Ashy Bines Fitspo Challenge.
One of the posts (A pinned one to say the least!) asks for followers to post their own personal phone numbers in the comments below OR message the page (For privacy reasons, we will not post a screenshot of the comments in that post as it contains vulnerable women who have commented with their phone numbers).
This is a huge security risk. The internet is accessible for all sorts of people from around the world. We don’t know who is behind the screen and what their intentions are. To encourage your own followers to post their personal contact numbers publicly is highly unprofessional.
Ironically, Ashy Bines posted on her verified Facebook page in regards to Ashley Madison’s case of being hacked.
The vulnerable women who have posted their personal contact numbers on ABBBC’s page are prone to being “hacked” or stalked or many other worst case scenarios. A lot of online platforms use your phone number nowadays for methods to recover your account (Facebook, Email, Twitter, Instagram, etc.).

The Fitspo Challenge
Ashy Bines and her team have always been known for their shady business practices. A $1 “sign up fee” which many women do not realize that you will be charged at the end of a time period for the full price of that product.
This clearly shows that ABBBC is only in it for the money, but unfortunately, many of Ashy’s followers let things slide and allow her to continue these business practices, defending her without a rational reason.
The countdown timer on Ashy’s Fitspo page, we can assure you that it isn’t legit. Last year, during desperate measures of saving her Clean Eating Diet Plan product (Facebook page banned, posts getting removed, bad publicity, etc.), Ashy Bines released a promotional offer link that spread around her Facebook pages and Instagram. It wasn’t real at all. Proven by the internet way back machine, it has been at 30 for weeks and Ashy Bines continues to advertise on her Instagram pages that there are only a few left, spots are running out.

Please note that the Instagram page @LoseWeightHere has been removed as it violated Instagram’s terms of “spamming/scamming”.
A similar pattern is being noticed here on Ashy’s new 12-week program. The timer increases on its own and you get different spots left when visiting from a different browser.
One of them didn’t even work properly.
No one really knows how many spots have run out. If you refresh the page, it goes all the way back to the same number the first time you visited the page.
Edge (The New Internet Explorer for Windows 10) ~ Countdown timer was dodgy.
Opera
Mozilla Firefox
Google Chrome
Another similar pattern is noticed with Ashy’s previous promotional offer that came with a tremendous amount of payment. That issue will be followed up in a different article, stay tuned!
This page strongly advises that you should be careful about spending money on a product labeled with Ashy Bines or ABBBC.
