DEA Warning !!! - Buying drugs online may be illegal and dangerous!

Federal Law Prohibits prohibits buying controlled substances such as narcotic pain relievers (e.g., OxyContin®, Vicodin ®), sedatives (e.g., Valium®, Xanax®, Ambien®), stimulants (e.g., phentermine, phendimetrazine, Adderall®, Ritalin®) and anabolic steroids (e.g., Winstrol®, Equipoise®) without a valid prescription from your doctor. This means there must be a real doctor-patient relationship, which by most state laws requires a physical examination. Prescriptions written by "cyber doctors" relying on online questionnaires are not legitimate under the law.

Buying controlled substances online without a valid prescription may be punishable by imprisonment under Federal law. Often drugs ordered from rogue websites come from foreign countries. It is a felony to import drugs into the United States and ship to a non-DEA registrant.

Buying drugs online may not be only illegal, but dangerous. The American Medical Association and state boards of medicine and pharmacy have all condemned the practice of cyber doctors issuing online prescriptions as unacceptable medical care. Drugs delivered by rogue websites may be the wrong drugs, adulterated or expired, the wrong dosage strength, or have no dosage directions or warnings.

DEA is targeting rogue online pharmacies for prosecution and shutting down these illegal websites. See the results of one such investigation, Operation Cyber Chase, at www.usdoj.gov/dea/pubs/pressrel/pr.html.

Frontier Pharmacy, Natural Diet Pills, Juan Gallinal
Pills.biz and Promoready1@yahoo.com

I placed an order with Natural Diet Pills online on Feb.18, an housr and a half later my card was charged...before the order was ever sent to my doctor or approved! Juan Gallinal sent me a order confirmation/reciept. 2 weeks later I called to cancel the order since it was taking so long. The customer service rep told me she would send the refund request to the pharmacy immediately, which did happen but I never saw a credit go back on my card. A week later, I called again and went through the same thing. they gave me the pharmacy telephone number but all I do is sit on hold and get messages. There is never a person that answers OR returns calls OR returns emails. I've gone through this a 4 times and have filed a complaint on the FBI cybercrime website. Still holding on hopes to get my money back and am willing to do whatever it takes to prevent them from doing this to other people.
