Big Impotence Drug Bust

A big fake erectile dysfunction drug ring has been busted in Hong Kong. Ukmedix received reports that a man from South East Asia living in Hong Kong was arrested and that almost 20 million Hong Kong dollars of various fake erectile dysfunction drugs like Viagra Cialis and Levitra were impounded.
From the police reports it seems that the arrest was part of a carefully planned operation that has been carrying on for a number of months and that the drugs were being sold online through the use of spam emails and other illegal marketing techniques. It also appears that the impotence drugs were being sent to the UK and other countries in Europe as well as to Australia, New Zealand and America. In all nearly half a million fake drug tablets were confiscated.
The fake impotence drugs it seems were being sent all over the world by post to unsuspecting customers who were not aware that the drugs were illegal and not the real thing. The drugs were not for sale locally and this is thought to be a ploy used by many Viagra spammers to reduce the chances of being caught from where they operate.
The man who is thought to head the operation was 37 years old and was arrested in a hotel room in a dramatic end to a long undercover operation. Much of the information leading to the man's arrest came from companies like Pfizer and Eli Lilly who own Viagra and Cialis and who are therefore keen to stop the illegal trade in fakes of their own impotence medicines.
So far it also appears that the fake medicines actually contained no sildenafil or taladafil that are the key ingredients in Viagra and Cialis meaning that as well as being illegal the ‘drugs’ had no useful properties and many men would have been ripped off.
