There is an old saying that states "if it sounds too good to be true it probably is". The myriad of cure-all products advertised in magazines, infomercials, mail order and most recently the internet surely fall into this category. Many desperate people who are concerned about their health become victims of medical scams every day.
A scam can take any form but the most common are promises of penis enlargement, restoration of hair, weight loss and fake online pharmacies. One common thread of these offers is a promise of miracle cures for diseases that have no cures. Many are described as all natural and have no side effects for people who are using them.
Losing weight is something that virtually every woman in this country has faced at one time or another. The diet pills seen in infomercials on television usually promise that the customer will have no diet changes and no exercises to do. These claims are false and when ordering the formulas you will be advised that it works much better if exercise and diet restrictions are employed. Another popular claim is losing weight from a specific part of your body by taking the pill. This claim is not realistic or true.
Fake pharmacies found online are the worst kind of scam artists. They operate by preying on desperate people who either cannot afford to pay retail for their prescriptions or by promising to deliver medications without prescriptions. The medications that are sent may be expired, foreign made or even totally fraudulent with no medicinal properties at all.
Many fake online pharmacies will contact potentially new clients through spam e-mail messages. Some of them are simply fronts for criminal access to your credit information or for loading up your computer with malicious spy ware and key loggers. They target people who are seriously ill with incurable diseases such as diabetes, cancer, HIV or AIDS.
The fake pharmacies use various tricks to bypass your spam filters. They deliberately misspell words, place unrelated information in the subject line or use fake identities in the sender names. The best way to avoid accidentally accessing one of these sites is to never open any e-mail that is not from someone you know.
Pay special attention if they offer drugs that are priced dramatically lower than you would normally pay. If they are offering to sell drugs that normally require a prescription without the benefit of that prescription you may be pretty certain that the pills you receive will be fakes. Another key method of knowing is a lack of street address or land line telephone number. These companies do not stay in one place long enough to establish any permanent information.
There are so many ways that people are taken advantage of because they are gullible or too trusting. They want to find new or miracle cures for health issues and will believe individual testimonials from purported customers without following up with research through their doctors or pharmacists. Many times this practice can lead to far more serious problems for patients because they have delayed treatment in favor of some miracle cure that was found online.
