An online pharmacy in America is being taken to court by the Attorney General’s Economic Crimes Division in the State of Florida because they say that it was involved in a “bait and switch” scam which meant that potential customers were lured into giving out credit card details by advertising prescription weight loss medication at very low prices, but then would send out herbal weight loss supplements instead of the drugs that were ordered.

The company called Direct Pharmacy, run by a husband and wife team has been targeted by the new initiatives from both United States authorities and European authorities to clamp down on the illegal selling of prescription weight loss medication online without proper prescriptions being issued.
A typical weight loss scam found online involves slimming drug such as Reductil, Acomplia and Xenical which are routinely advertised in spam emails. Customers are heavily pressurised to hand over credit card details and once they have been given the chances of getting what they ordered are very slim and many people say that they never receive anything.
If you buy prescription weight loss medication online and you are not given a doctor’s consultation you are putting yourself at severe risk because you are dealing with an illegal, criminal setup. You should take great care to ensure that the online pharmacy you are dealing with is reputable. If the prices for prescription weight loss medication advertised on an online pharmacy look too good to be true than it is likely that you are dealing with a fraudulent setup.
Prescription weight loss medications can be dangerous for use by certain people and that is why a prescription is always required. At Ukmedix in order to allow consumers to feel completely safe about ordering weight loss meds it is possible to use the Pharmacheck System that allows customers to actually pinpoint the United Kingdom pharmacy from where their drugs are being dispensed. This ensures that they get real branded treatment from the drug companies that make them and that they are dealing with licenced pharmacists.
