Canadian Pharmacy Privacy Warning for Americans
Langley, British Columbia (PRWEB) November 1, 2010
In search of Canadian drugs at the lowest price, Americans may get more than they’ve bargained for when buying from an online pharmacy. There are literally thousands of online pharmacies purporting to be a “Canadian pharmacy” and offering Canada’s drugs to Americans but in reality there are only approximately 100 that can be verified as licensed Canadian pharmacies online. These other companies usually market their services via spam and masquerade as a genuine Canada pharmacy. They often display fake third party accreditation marks and bogus pharmacy licenses. The fake seals featured here were taken from an actual rogue online pharmacy website. A frequently forged seal is the prestigious seal of approval from the Canadian International Pharmacy Association (CIPA) because the genuine CIPA seal is a trademark which consumers can trust.
“International law enforcement are stepping up their efforts against the kind of unscrupulous people who create these fly-by-night websites that are notorious for selling counterfeit ‘Canadian drugs’ without a prescription,” says Ankur Arora, United States Legal Counsel to NorthWestPharmacy.com, which is one of the largest CIPA certified online Canadian pharmacy websites. This good news comes too late for some, including Marcella Williams of San Francisco, California, who was the victim of identity theft after ordering medication for her grandfather from a rogue online pharmacy website which purported to ship drugs from Canadian pharmacies but was actually based in China. “They opened credit card accounts in my name and charged up thousands of dollars leaving my credit rating a total disaster,” says Ms. Williams who has since been ordering medications for her grandfather’s diabetes and heart condition from NorthWestPharmacy.com. “We were trying to save some money but it wound up costing me a fortune; I wish I had known about the safe service through North West Pharmacy before this happened,” she laments.
Mr. Arora urges consumers, “at a bare minimum click the CIPA seal and make sure it lands on the cipa.com website, and to be extra sure, only buy from Canadian pharmacy sites like NorthWestPharmacy.com which provide extra assurances like the buySAFE 3-in-1 guarantee and those which are TRUSTe privacy certified. Americans can save plenty of money buying Canada’s drugs and can do it safely. Avoid websites selling RX drugs online without requiring a prescription from your own doctor because licensed Canadian pharmacies don’t sell prescription drugs online without a Canadian prescription or American one.”
