What is it about people who are ill or in pain that makes unscrupulous people think we're fair game for their scams and schemes? Medication prices are out of control. Many of us, even with insurance, are spending a disproportionate amount of our income on meds, and many are looking for sources of less expensive meds.
Scammers know that, and they don't give a damn about our health, only making $$ from our misery. Not a day goes by that I don't have at least a dozen emails from such scammers offering me lower prices on everything from pain medications to Viagra. BUT, there's a catch. We have no way of knowing if these medications are real or counterfeit or if they're contaminated with toxins. A friend of mine nearly died as the result of trying to save a few $$ on pain meds and getting contaminated meds.
There's been a recent and dangerous upswing in counterfeit medications being sold over the Internet. Please, before you consider buying meds online, take a look at FDA Warns of Counterfeit Medications from Online Pharmacies.
Be well; be safe!
