Be Aware Of This Scam

Post by tex »

Hi All,

You've probably already heard about this scam, but since some of us order our meds from online pharmacies, I wanted to be sure that everyone was aware of this so that no one fell victim to it.
Extortionists posing as FDA agents are targeting customers of online and over-the-phone pharmacies, demanding victims pay cash fines or else face law enforcement action, the FDA warned today.

To perpetrate the ongoing international scam, the criminals call victims and tell them they are being fined for illegally purchasing drugs over the internet or over the phone. Unless the victim pays a fine ranging from $100 to $250,000, the scammers say, legal action will be pursued.

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.

Tex,

You are always so on top of things! Thanks for the warning! I haven't ordered meds online just yet, but it's good to know!
