Photos of Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan, Founding Rector of Üsküdar Üniversitesi, are being used by malicious individuals for advertising on social media. Drug recommendations are being made to followers using the name and photo of Psychiatrist Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan. Necessary legal and judicial processes have been initiated by Üsküdar Üniversitesi regarding the matter.
In some advertisements circulating on social media, product promotions are made using unauthorized photos of Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan.
This advertisement, which should not be trusted, threatens human health with misleading claims such as "3 times more effective than antidepressants".
Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan has no connection to this product or advertisement.
Prof. Dr. Tarhan: “People are calling, believing. They are scamming citizens."
In his statement on the matter, Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan emphasized the seriousness of the fraud and the danger it poses to public health, stating, "A company I don't know at all is trying to sell food supplements using my name and photo. People are calling, believing. I am also unaware of the existence of any evidence-based research indicating that such products, marketed with phrases like 'completely herbal', treat mental health problems."
Tarhan warned, “For problems related to your mental health, always consult an expert psychiatrist or psychologist. Do not determine a treatment method based on advertisements you see on social media. Verifying from multiple sources is extremely important to prevent exposure to misleading or incorrect information.”
Üsküdar Üniversitesi: “Necessary legal and judicial processes have been initiated.”
As Üsküdar Üniversitesi, we hereby warn the public and strongly emphasize the importance of caution. We have initiated the necessary legal and judicial processes to combat fraud and raise public awareness. We strongly advise individuals who encounter similar situations to seek information from reliable sources, be cautious against such fake content, and report such advertisements when they see them to prevent their spread.
