These sites listed below, most being registered in the US are spamming, scamming and controlled from foreign nations.
It is simply mind-boggling how huge this criminal fraud activity really is. It is definately organized crime... This time organized internet crime.
Maybe the FTC, FBI, FCC, ICANN will see this huge page of fraudsters...
The money they collect for products (you will probably never receive) could be being laundered to fund 'real' terrorist activities, going for weapons to murder more innocent people.
Be aware... don't get caught in a CIA, FBI sting just for using these sites.
Don't lose your MONEY to these internet terrorist's scams

Have you been on places like Phentermine.com or PhenForum.com telling the world that you have been buying Phentermine without a 'legal' prescription? Are owners of many of these forum sites really just drug affiliates pushing these illegal pharmacy sites for profit?
Terrorists' use of Internet spreads
By Jon Swartz, USA TODAY
SAN FRANCISCO — Cyberfraud, ranging from credit card theft to money laundering, is the latest wrinkle in terrorists' use of the Internet.
It's "the new cash cow" for terrorists to finance operations, says John Pironti, a security consultant at tech consultant Unisys. Online scams are harder to trace because they are relayed through a sophisticated network of individuals and Web sites worldwide, he says. And many schemes originate from abroad, where cyberlaws don't exist or law enforcement is lax.
In dozens of incidents the past few months, groups linked to terrorism have stolen credit card numbers over the Internet, laundered money and hijacked Web sites, security experts say.
The recent surge in activity has given counterterrorism specialists, already concerned with threats to physical structures, another worry. Like their colleagues in the FBI, Secret Service, the Treasury Department and elsewhere, they must bone up on Internet technology to match wits with the criminals.
For several years, groups including al-Qaeda have used cyberspace for communications, recruiting and propaganda. Now they've branched into other areas. Credit card numbers are often swiped through hacking attacks and phishing, fraudulent e-mails that trick consumers into surrendering personal information.
There are indications terrorists may next steal trade secrets from U.S. companies as their computer skills improve and they begin to work with organized crime in Eastern Europe. The stolen documents could then be sold to rogue foreign businesses or held for ransom, security experts say.
Terrorism.org
A few months ago, Imam Samudra, convicted of masterminding the bombing that killed 202 in Bali, Indonesia, in 2002, wrote a jailhouse manifesto on the funding of terrorism through cyberfraud.
A chapter in his obscure autobiography — titled "Hacking, Why Not?" — directs fellow Muslim radicals to Indonesian-language Web sites and chat rooms for instructions on online credit card fraud and money laundering. "Any man-made product contains weakness because man himself is a weak creature," Samudra writes. "So it is with the Americans, who boast they are a strong nation."
Evidence collected from Samudra's laptop showed he tried to finance the bombing through cyberfraud, law-enforcement officials say.
In October, a suspected Palestinian supporter of Middle Eastern terrorist groups posted several credit card numbers online and instructions for stealing databases of other active credit card numbers from the Web sites of U.S. businesses.
Internet use by terrorists mirrors that of criminals. While some security experts fear a cyberstrike could disrupt power supplies to millions of homes, disrupt air traffic control systems and shut down water supplies, most agree terror groups are more likely to exploit the Internet for financial gain and to spread propaganda. The number of terrorist-related Web sites has rocketed to 4,350 from a dozen in 1997.
Terrorist organizations have graduated to the Internet to steal because it reaches more potential victims and is harder to trace, says Evan Kohlmann, an international terrorism consultant who runs the Web site Globalterroralert.com.
Previously, militants used more conventional ways for funding, Kohlmann says. The Roubaix gang in France robbed armored cars to help fund terrorist activities in the mid-1990s. And the group behind the abortive millennium attack on the Los Angeles airport robbed supermarkets in Canada and engaged in traditional credit card fraud, he says.
"It is a paradox: Those movements who criticize Western technology and modernity are using the West's most advanced communication technology, the Internet, to spread their message," Gabriel Weimann, a professor in Israel who follows cyberterrorism, said in an e-mail.
But the U.S. government should not dismiss the possibility of a large-scale electronic attack by terrorists against the nation's computer systems, says Richard Clarke, the former White House head of counterterrorism. He made the comments at the RSA security conference in San Francisco last week.
Digital cat and mouse
Federal investigators are locked in an escalating game of digital cat-and-mouse with cyberterrorists. "The FBI understands that some terrorist organizations, like criminals, could exploit the Internet to further their goals," FBI spokeswoman Megan Baroska says. FBI policy prohibits it from discussing ongoing investigations, she says.
The departments of Justice, State, Treasury and Homeland Security and intelligence agencies have identified a broad range of potential Internet vulnerabilities and are constantly developing policies. They compare the fight against terrorist financing to the war against money-laundering drug traffickers.
"As Internet technologies become more advanced, so do those who use them for illicit and illegal activities," says Dexter Ingram, director of information-security policy for the Business Software Alliance and a former analyst for the House Committee on Homeland Security's cybersecurity subcommittee. "Security must remain a continuous process. It's a never-ending cycle."
Still, the feds' ranks are in flux. Robert Liscouski, assistant director of the Department of Homeland Security, resigned in January after the Bush administration nominated a federal judge to head the department.
In October, Amit Yoran, director of the department's cybersecurity division, resigned amid criticism from the tech community that he lacked clout.
Clarke has called for the appointment of a cybersecurity czar in the White House to coordinate actions between the FBI, CIA and other government agencies.
"After 9/11, the emphasis has clearly been on physical infrastructure rather than cybersecurity," says Paul Kurtz, executive director of the Cyber Security Industry Alliance, a non-profit trade group of software and hardware companies. "That's understandable. But cyberspace is where the bad guys are going."

This company below is connected to some of the scamming the internet with faked information in the whois databases, hiding the internet terrorists with their spams and scams. Texas National Press contacted this organization and they would not deny they are hiding the information of the owners/controllers of website domains. This is a legal loophole that ICANN and the FTC will soon address (we hope). That loophole does not necessarily absolve this company from liability from accessory to a crime/fraud, since they are hiding the criminal from public view. Perhaps if you've lost money through a domain name that this company claims ownership of in the whois databases, you might can bring suit agains them for damages. It will probably take an avalanche of small claims lawsuits, to force these 'hiding' companies to realize their liability, since they OWN the domain name or change their method to make a way to identify these scammers.

Plaintiffs,
v.
DOMAINS BY PROXY,
Something THIS huge in Internet Scamming could be involved in money laundering or Internet Terrorism.. and the "I didn't know" excuse just isn't going to fly.
Think in these terms. Why would a legitimate company go to great lengths to have their information hidden from view? I suggest NEVER purchasing from a company who is listed with this 'hiding' ownership company or any doing the same thing. I am in business and we advertise our phone#, street address, email addresses plainly in site for all to see and verify. IF the site does not list VALID information on the site and the WHOIS.. they are probably internet terrorists and will take your money.. The question remains WHO are they sending this fraud money to? Terrorists?
Think of this.. For you to order or lose your money to them... they require your address, phone #, credit card info, email address.. everything.. But THEY won't post their address on the website or in the registrar's whois data? Sounds like a one way street to fraud.
Many of these domains have the same ownership.. Ask yourself, why would ONE legitimate company need THOUSANDS of domain names? If they are operating under more than one domain they are probably scam and spam operations.
There are REAL bona fide online pharmacies... but KNOW who you are sending your money to and if they have to hide who they are... they are suspect, especially in the world of business. If the domain and the business does not proudly display a physical address, one that you can verify by phone books, or other methods, then they should not be trusted. Without a valid verifiable address, how can you seek restitution, damages, fraud charges? You can't sue a ghost company...
Why would a legitimate pharmacy (in the US for instance) have their website in China, Brazil, India, etc? They are Spammers and Scammers. I found one faux Canadian pharmacy site (domain registered in India) with their domain hosted in Texas. While that may be innocent enough, the same people in Austin were hosting spamming and scamming casino sites and fake web poll sites. DUHH? the pharamacy site is a scam too.
If you go to a link and get redirected, especially to several pages, or go to a page that every product listed links you to another pharma site.. RUN -- Grab your wallet and purse...
You are asking for it -- if you continue
Do your DUE DILIGENCE before doing business with these sites... Do your own investigation - if something - anything - make you feel wary, uncomfortable, etc.... your sixth sense, the third eye, your soul, is cautioning you.
I've interviewed people that say.. I thought they were legit because they were listed on Google.. or Yahoo.. Those are search engines, not validators of scam and spam sites... or legitimate businesses... They will probably pull them from their databases if you notify them of their conduct.
PRWeb is a REALLY bad source for documentation or getting information about a company. Their endorsement is useless. It is a self-serving ad place for these scammers.
What happened to direct-pharmacy.net?
Can't pull up the website.?
I think they may have been temporarily closed down. I saw a big thing on the news, but I'm not sure if it was them. Basically , they had huge warehouses full of controlled medications like Xanax and Vicodin without proprer documentation. They got raided by the Feds who siezed a ton of meds and pulled their license. Again, I think it was them was but I'm not 100% sure.

Frontier Pharmacies, located in Weston, Florida (Broward County) is one of many names used by a company that takes your online order for prescriptions, charges a "processing fee" which turns out to be a monthly "membership" fee for a minimum of four (4) months. All of the companies are part and parcel of something else you won't see on the web page - The RX Discount Club. Who would've guessd, right? You're trying to buy medicine. They're enrolling you in a club.
FACT: When you place an order you are actually signing a contract for a membership in The RX Discount Club! You are agreeing to pay a monthly fee for a product the company(ies)are not obligated to send you.
You will not see the contract. It is carefully hidden in the wordy "terms of use" statement. You buy? You have electronically signed and consented to the "terms" which consist of your obligation to pay $80. over 4 months. The company is off the hook.
Here's how it works: The order page clearly states "No refunds. No exchanges." The not so visible "terms of use" contains a littany of information and disclaimers informing the purchaser that if even the "doctor" doesn't approve the prescription (which clearly means the company doesn't have to ship anything) the buyer pays.
The purchase is not a purchase for a prescription, it is a purchase of a membership or the right to attempt to buy a prescription. That right will cost you $80. You'd be better off shooting craps in Vegas. All the purchaser gets is got. No prescription. No refund, credit or exchange. And no legal way to recover. These people are masters of misdirection. Each page leads you away from and into another affiliate or subsidiary. The effect, obviously, is to frustrate and confuse. It works.
CAUTION: When you receive an order number, confirmation number or tracking number, wait 24 hours then check order status. Don't be surprised when, following the instructions, you receive an error message which reads: "invalid order information" or some similar phrasing.
The problem is you won't be able to backtrack if ... you don't keep the order placement page to include a copy of the section of the page where your credit card data is entered. Print and retain!
Who's vulnerable? Anybody and everybody. Young and especially seniors who must have medication and live on fixed incomes. Young families with children who have little or no health insurance.
This is nothing more than an online scam. Incidentally the chap who operates SCAM is another bait and switch con job. He writes pretending to be a consumer advocate. Instead he's steering you to his online make money quick schemes. Avoid this site also.

I ordered a FREE trial of Phentrazine 37.5 for $4.95 S&H. I received the free trial and was told nothing about automatic shipments. Today I look at my bank account on line and $149.95 is pending to be deducted from my account. I called the toll-free number to talk to someone about reversing this charge. I told the man on the other end what happened and he asked me to hold. I then got a recording about leaving a message. 
I hung up and looked on line and saw these rip-off reports filed and decided this is the first step I will take. I did not agree to future shipments and I have not received any shipments. My original $4.95 charge for the FREE trial came out of my account on 11/9/2006. Today is 11/28/2006 and the transaction is listed on today's bank activity.

« on: November 02, 2006, 10:53:19 PM »
To anyone considering ordering from world shipping meds.com, please save your money! They are a world class rip off company!!! I ordered from them 6 weeks ago, all I've gotten in return is a daily email giving ,me a new shipping date because of prossessing problems, shipping problems, computer problems, you name it!
They had no problem taking my money, I might add! The first day, my account was credited, they told me it would be 6 days, well forget that! I also have every copy of every email to and from them. Each response is an automated response telling me how wonderful their drugs are and how great their prices are.
One time I actually got an email with 2 US telephone #s, but guess what? they were disconnected! Go figure!

BBB Issues International Alert: Online Pharmacy Seller Using BBB Trademarks to Market Drugs
For Immediate Release 
[Arlington, VA, July 29, 2005] -- The Better Business Bureau system today issued an alert about online pharmacy sites that are displaying the BBB's trademarks to market drugs on the Internet. People from every region of the United States are contacting the BBB to inquire about the legitimacy of a "business" that is targeting consumers through spamming. The e-mail messages contain claims that the company is "Verified by the BBB" and include a hyperlink to different web sites all using the same name MyCanadianPharmacy, Ltd. (not to be confused with Canada Drugs, Ltd. that owns canadadrugs.com and mycanadianpharmacy.com). The web sites involved in this scam use at least the following addresses: newhealth-pill.info, loveamericaonline.info, pillsathome.info, onlinepills4u.info, directmedz.biz, tabletsforall.info, exclusivetablets.info and pills4life.info.
All of the web sites use the same template, display the BBBOnLine Reliability Logo and an untrue message claiming to be "Listed at Better Business Bureau." This practice misleads consumers and violates United States trademark, counterfeiting and copyright laws.
These sites are in no way affiliated with the Better Business Bureau. The BBB does not recommend visiting these sites, as there is some evidence that the sites may try to download software to visitors' computers.

FAKE PHARMACY
Pharmacy Express
Pharmacy Corp
MyCanadian Pharmacy
International Legal Rx
Yet another FAKED alias for "Pharmacy."
Pharmacy Corp.
1916 North Church Street
Layton, UT 84040
This time they call themselves "International Legal RX medications" with all the same "Verified by the BBB" and contact form info as "MyCanadianPharmacy." Who knows if this address even means anything.
This one was spammed as lfjkpd.lamcentral.info/legalrx/
ADMIN NOTE: Address listed for Pharmacy Corp. appears to be a Sod Farm. Address most likely a fake. The Sod Farm is probably a victim as well.
from: http://web.tebweb.com
All Tied to the above organized crime syndicate
holinesssave.info
(fake address, IP out of asia, contact form on site doesn't work, etc.)
Pharmacy Express has been spamming since 2004 back when it used servers based at Kornet in Korean.
In 2005 they added servers in Hong Kong and China. Now they use servers (or zombie PC's) all over the globe. They changed names many times since 2004 but you can tell it's the same place based on repeated Email patterns that progress over time such as their HTML and formatting tricks. Sometimes their sites don't even display a real name. They just highlight a word and stick a temporary embedded web link on it such as:
Online Meds Store

I have a record of their sites going back to 2004.
It appears they started calling themselves Pharmacy Express around Oct 2005.
Pharmacy Express is the same place as Premier Pharmacy.
They each have hundreds of sites and the sites are often identical except for the name. I don't visit most links they send but I do record data about each link and promptly report them to their registrar, host network, etc.
Canadian Pharmacy (an equally abusive spammer) shares DNS servers with Pharmacy Express on occasion but for the most part they use different web servers and DNS servers. Perhaps they use the same "spammer network" (it's called China) so their paths cross on occasion. Canadian Pharmacy also tends to use geocities.com redirects to hide their sites while Pharmacy Express typically does not.
For a while Pharmacy Express had ties with LongZ enlargement Pills and MegaPower Pills sites and they were really bad for a while. Fortunately those sites appear to have closed or moved.
Pharmacy Express maintains about 40 DNS servers at all times (that I know of) with a few getting shutdown daily and others coming online just as quickly. Some of the IP's they use host hundreds or even thousands of sites. I can only provide info on the ones that were sent to me personally, which averages 25 to 40 new, unique sites per month from this spammer.
Try the reverse IP lookup tool at http://www.domaintools.com (that's the new name for whois.sc). Some spammer IP's host 60,000 sites, if that's possible.
Pharmacy Express changes their IP address 2-3 times a week in groups of 10-15 sites, typically concentrating on keeping the newest sites moving until they get shutdown. Some sites run undisturbed for months while most appear to run a few weeks and they move on.
They typically use each registrant name one time. They may harvest these off the Internet since they tend to be unique. Sometimes the data matches the info of real people and businesses. 95% of the registrants use a fake Yahoo Email address with their fake phone number, etc.
They tend to use Yesnic.com as the registrar for their DNS servers. Yesnic doesn't reply or act timely enough to have any effect but they do eventually terminate the registration of some sites after months of abuse.
Contrairy to this, their web site registration is spread across a dozen foreign registrars such as
ENOM, INC.
Yesnic.com
BULKREGISTER, LLC.
LTD D/B/A PUBLICDOMAINREGISTRY.COM
ONLINE SAS BookmyName
HICHINA WEB SOLUTIONS (HONG KONG) LIMITED
XIN NET TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION
and many others. They choose registrars who do not have an abuse policy or who have support pages written in Chinese to make reporting difficult. Even the US based registrars such as GO DADDY SOFTWARE, INC. are irresponsible in this regard as they reply to repeated abuse from their customers with a letter saying they are "only" the registrar and they will continue to register sites to this spammer.
(if true this makes GO DADDY a party to the crimes since they were in a position to report it and stop it)
I hope someone can use this info and help the situation. If I posted all the info I have it would fill many pages so I will close for now. If anyone wants a detailed listing of their DNS servers, IP addresses, registrant names, SMTP Headers and server names with dates going back to 2004 or 2005 I can post more info.
Looking at DNS info you can tell that similar sites such as "My Canadian Pharmacy" (also called "International Legal RX") is a separate spammer with their own sites and servers.
As a primer, here is a sample of Pharmacy Express info.
Some of their sites changed IP's 8-10 times and are still running. Most of these are active. Older sites that are on registar-hold have been omitted to save space.
Pharmacy Express and all of these on this page
On-line pharmacy spammers are criminals--they do not care to send you quality, or even the right drugs, if they send them to you at all.
Please don't take this the wrong way, but it is somewhat baffling as to why people are ordering from a company that doesn't have a legitimate website, doesn't have any real contact info like a phone number or physical address, and "advertises" through e-mail with unprofessional, misspelled messages. You are not the only one obviously that orders from them, but what made you decide to trust them?
I hope you are successful at canceling your Credit Card before they take money from it---if they already did, then put it in dispute with your credit company, and file a fraud report.

Avoiding Non-Delivery of Merchandise
Make sure you are purchasing merchandise from a reputable source.
Do your homework on the individual or company to ensure that they are legitimate.
Try to obtain a physical address rather than merely a post office box and a phone number, call the seller to see if the number is correct and working.
Send them e-mail to see if they have an active e-mail address and be wary of sellers who use free e-mail services where a credit card wasn’t required to open the account.
Consider not purchasing from sellers who won't provide you with this type of information.
Check with the Better Business Bureau from the seller’s area.
Check out other web sites regarding this person/company.
Don’t judge a person/company by their web site.
Be cautious when responding to special offers (especially through unsolicited e-mail).
Be cautious when dealing with individuals/companies from outside your own country.
Inquire about returns and warranties.
The safest way to purchase items via the Internet is by credit card because you can often dispute the charges if something is wrong.
Make sure the transaction is secure when you electronically send your credit card numbers.
Consider utilizing an escrow or alternate payment service.
(from FBI.GOV)
Avoiding Credit Card Fraud
Don't give out your credit card number(s) online unless the site is a secure and reputable site. Sometimes a tiny icon of a padlock appears to symbolize a higher level of security to transmit data. This icon is not a guarantee of a secure site, but might provide you some assurance.
Don't trust a site just because it claims to be secure.
Before using the site, check out the security/encryption software it uses.
Make sure you are purchasing merchandise from a reputable source.
Do your homework on the individual or company to ensure that they are legitimate.
Try to obtain a physical address rather than merely a post office box and a phone number, call the seller to see if the number is correct and working.

The safest way to purchase items via the Internet is by credit card because you can often dispute the charges if something is wrong.
Make sure the transaction is secure when you electronically send your credit card numbers.
You should also keep a list of all your credit cards and account information along with the card issuer’s contact information. If anything looks suspicious or you lose your credit card(s) you should contact the card issuer immediately.

Record every converstation with them by phone, get names, get addresses, get phone numbers, take down all info on the website, copy the entire website (they disappear as soon as a certain number of people have been scammed and feel the law is on the trail)

Federal law prohibits buying controlled substances such as narcotic pain relievers (e.g., OxyContin®, Vicodin ®), sedatives (e.g., Valium®, Xanax®, Ambien®), stimulants (e.g., phentermine, phendimetrazine, Adderall®, Ritalin®) and anabolic steroids (e.g., Winstrol®, Equipoise®) without a valid prescription from your doctor. This means there must be a real doctor-patient relationship, which by most state laws requires a physical examination. Prescriptions written by "cyber doctors" relying on online questionnaires are not legitimate under the law.
Buying controlled substances online without a valid prescription may be punishable by imprisonment under Federal law. Often drugs ordered from rogue websites come from foreign countries. It is a felony to import drugs into the United States and ship to a non-DEA registrant.
Buying drugs online may not be only illegal, but dangerous. The American Medical Association and state boards of medicine and pharmacy have all condemned the practice of cyber doctors issuing online prescriptions as unacceptable medical care. Drugs delivered by rogue websites may be the wrong drugs, adulterated or expired, the wrong dosage strength, or have no dosage directions or warnings.
DEA is targeting rogue online pharmacies for prosecution and shutting down these illegal websites. See the results of one such investigation, Operation Cyber Chase, at www.usdoj.gov

Concerns about Illegal Online Pharmacies
The issue of safety of online pharmacies has been in the media lately, with stories about illegal offshore pharmacies and reimportation of prescription medications. drugstore.com, inc. would like to provide guidelines on how to choose a reputable online pharmacy and to assure consumers about the quality and safety of our pharmaceutical services.
How to Spot a Rogue Pharmacy
While the Internet is an incredible resource for consumers seeking lower prices and convenience, the Internet is also home to hundreds of illegal online pharmacies that can put your health at risk. Many of these illegal pharmacies create professional-looking Web sites and distribute convincing emails, making it difficult for consumers to differentiate between reputable and rogue online sites. How can consumers protect themselves and identify reputable online pharmacies? Here are some helpful tips on how to spot a rogue pharmacy:
They are not currently licensed by federal or state regulatory agencies or are not certified by the NABP's VIPPS (Verified Internet Pharmacy Practice Site) program.
They do not require you to visit your doctor to get a prescription. They advertise "NO PRIOR PRESCRIPTION REQUIRED" or "FREE ONLINE DOCTOR CONSULTATION."
They do not list their address. Even a site purporting to be "just across the border in Canada" may be located in Thailand, Sri Lanka, or China.
Rather than carry a full inventory of drugs as do legitimate pharmacies, they emphasize highly popular drugs, such as painkillers, weight loss, smoking cessation, and impotence drugs.
They inundate consumers with unsolicited e-mails (spam) and promote the illegal aspects of their services on large search engines.
Why Do Illegal Online Pharmacies Represent A Danger To Your Health?
Purchasing drugs from unlicensed and/or foreign sources is illegal under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. Shipments may be seized by U.S. Customs officials.
Because drugs purchased from unlicensed or foreign sources are unregulated, there is no way of knowing whether the drugs have been contaminated, are sub-potent, super-potent, expired, or counterfeit. The drugs may not have been stored under proper conditions, which can greatly alter their effectiveness. Once a drug is outside the strictly regulated U.S. pharmaceutical distribution channel, there can be no guarantee of its authenticity or effectiveness.
Most illegal pharmacies do not require a physical visit to a doctor. Of those that do require a "doctor's visit," it is typically a brief online questionnaire or a phone interview. The doctor usually does not have access to your medical records and cannot take advantage of a physical exam to judge your overall health.
Many drugs sold on illegal pharmacy sites can be dangerous if not taken under strict medical supervision. If your own doctor did not prescribe the drug you purchased from an online pharmacy, it may difficult to get reputable medical advice.
Illegal sites typically do not have licensed pharmacists available to answer any questions you may have.
You have no assurance that your sensitive, private medical information will be protected. Reputable online pharmacies comply with the new federal HIPAA regulations, which deal with privacy safeguards for medical information. In addition, to be VIPPS certified, a company must comply with the NABP's strict criteria regarding a patient's right to privacy and authentication and security of prescription orders. Few, if any, illegal online pharmacies are HIPAA complaint, and only 14 online pharmacies have earned VIPPS certification.
Many illegal sites tack on additional fees and service charges you may not be aware of, such as an enrollment fee, medical fee, consulting fee, and other unlisted charges. These additional fees and charges often bring the price up to that charged by reputable pharmacies.
Many illegal sites are located outside the protection of the U.S. legal system. If anything goes wrong, you may be unable to sue for damages. Even Canadian pharmacies have limited legal liability.
FDA Guidelines On How To Protect Yourself When Purchasing Drugs Over The Internet
Check with the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (http://www.nabp.net, (847) 698-6227) to determine whether a Web site is a licensed pharmacy in good standing.
Don't buy from sites that offer to prescribe a prescription drug for the first time without a physical exam, sell a prescription drug without a prescription, or sell drugs not approved by the federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Don't do business with sites that don't have a registered pharmacist available to answer questions.
Avoid sites that don't identify with whom you are dealing or don't provide a U.S. address and phone number to contact if there is a problem.
Don't purchase from foreign Web sites. It is illegal to import the drugs bought from these sites, the risks are greater, and there is very little the U.S. government can do if you get ripped off.
Beware of sites that advertise a "new cure" for a serious disorder or a "quick cure-all" for a wide range of ailments.
Be careful of sites that use impressive-sounding terminology to disguise a lack of good science or those that claim the government, the medical profession, or research scientists have conspired to suppress a product.
Steer clear of sites that include undocumented case histories claiming "amazing" results.
Talk to your health-care professional before using any medications for the first time.
Pharmaceuticals today are truly miracle drugs, but they are also very powerful and potent, and must be used under a physician's supervision. drugstore.com, inc. believes that legitimate online pharmacies offer the best service, the best prices, and the highest level of quality and safety for consumers. We urge consumers to first visit their local physician for an exam and, if prescription medication is necessary, have the prescription dispensed through a VIPPS-certified pharmacy.
