out of the 27 orders eighteen of them were complete frauds

Everyone around the world gets hundreds of spam e-mails every single day unless they use special anti spam software to weed it out from their computers. Recently at Ukmedix News we came across a project in which a number of researchers decided to actually reply to these e-mail and to order some erectile dysfunction medication to see what the results would be.

The researchers from the University of Toronto looked at over 4,000 different spam emails and decided to place 27 separate orders for a variety of different erectile dysfunction medications to see what would happen. They focused on spam e-mails that were sent to people in Canada. The results were far from promising with only nine of the orders actually being fulfilled by an envelope arriving in the post with some sort of medication in it.

This means that out of the 27 orders eighteen of them were complete frauds with the credit card details of the people ordering being used and nothing being sent in the post. This is a scam that we are well aware of at Ukmedix News as the criminals who operate these sites know that many men will be too embarrassed to call up their credit card companies and ask for a charge back, and thus the criminals will get away with whatever they have stolen from the credit card.

In the case of the nine orders in which medications were actually sent the University of Toronto will be sending the medications to be tested to see if they are actually the real drugs Viagra, Cialis and Levitra or whether they are just dud pills which are so often sent instead when people reply to email spam.

The other thing that the researchers did was try to find out where the emails originated from and they saw that the countries involved were as varied as the Republic of Congo and China. In fact twenty percent of all the emails came from these two countries with the rest of them originating closer to home in Canada and the United States.
