I have bought prescription meds from canada after faxing a valid prescription. (for savings). There is always a bit of risk involved. I would not buy w/o a prescription.
You need to fill out a questioner on our sites but we don't sell controlled drugs such as the ones mentioned.
City USA Pharmacy list almost exclusively controlled medication so I am not sure what your talking about. A controlled substance is one that requires a doctors prescription -- your drugs require a Rx. 99% of online Pharmacy affiliates are just kidding yourself into thinking what your selling is legal. There are numerous legal ways to earn a commission. If you don't believe me just call your local FBI field office and ask them if it is legal. "Hi, I sell controlled substances on the internet and the patients never see a doctor, they just fill out a form, is that legal?"
Compar, Do you think less trouble would be avoided by simply placing an affiliate link to your site instead of buying your 'own' site under you? I know that the profits are less, but would it be 'safer' to just provide a link? Thank you. MJ
LMAO!!!!! Now that makes sense. Heritage, did you see where it offers that you can either start your 'own' site, or just provide a link? Do you think both are illegal? Or just having your own store where you can change prices, etc. With an affiliate link, it just 'points' to the e-store.... ????
The only legal way to operate an Online Pharmacy is: 1. Require patients to fax in a copy of a valid Rx from their doctor. Online pharmacy then calls the doctor to confirm. Cannot be done electronically. Or 2. Do not sell medication that requires a Rx.
Heritage, if you'll comb this thread, you will see I have brought this point up numerous times. I am afraid it is beating a dead horse. I don't believe the head of this affiliate ring, or his affiliates, care about the ethical problems associated with such sales, despite the patently obvious and well-documented dangers inherent in such a questionnaire-only drug business. Money is the bottom line. But I agree with you. I believe a big wake-up call is coming, care of the FDA, DEA and local law enforcement.
Its 100 percent legal, I don't know what your talking about. There is nothing wrong with moving schedule 3,4, and 5 drugs as long as you are doing it with in the laws of the state you are prescribing and fufilling from.
I quote, from a telephone conversation with the FDA moments ago: "Any online pharmacy that does that - that sells these drugs on the basis of an online questionnaire only - is illegal on the face of it." You can choose to believe or not believe the quote. You want to make your money, go ahead, do it while you can. But don't be deceived. This money will, IMHO, end up biting you where it hurts.
Shahab6, You may in fact be speaking of a legal operation, provided the medication is dispensed based upon an in person doctors visit. The question is, is it, or is it based upon a questionaire? The FDA, FBI, and DEA say it is illegal -- but you say their wrong?
I don't know, then why hasn't the company been shut down, its been around for years, and its growing everyday. Explain that please.
Shahab6 - you have read numerous quotes direct-linked to the FDA, DEA and other sources. You have before you a conversation had only yesterday with a FDA agent who corroborated what has been said now repeatedly. There are a million sites and the fact that this ring has not yet been pursued isn't really any indication it won't, is it? From what the FDA agent said, they have in the past been more interested in getting to the root of the problem - the off-shore production of these drugs, shipped illegally back into the states under a false guise of being produced in the U.S. In his words, this is the exact reason a profit is being made, because these drugs are being made cheaply, offshore, without inspection or regulation, and this is a HUGE concern. He also said it does not mean companies like this one - like RXpayouts - will not be caught and brought down, and all legal remedies pursued; only that the thrust of the enforcement activity has in the past tended to be higher up on the food chain. It seems to me you have before you all you need to make an informed decision. If you choose to believe otherwise, it's your call. Please see the website www.happymeds.com. I believe this site was formerly part of the thread starter's network. Still around? I have my thoughts, but what's your guess as to why?
I will do more research, but the past research I have done has shown, there is nothing wrong with moving schedule 3,4, and 5 drugs online. I believe if it was illegal RXpayouts would of been shut down years ago. Its not hard to shut it down, it doesn't get any higher than RXpayouts. Rxpayout pays tax to the governemt, that means what there doing is legal.
That site does not work, was there point you had? your asking us why it doesn't work, probably they didn't renew their domain.
I don't think your FDA was well inform. If it was illegal we would of all had some fines to pay by now. US government is strict, they would never let anyone get away by doing something illegal. Don't say they go after the big fish, they go after anyway they can.
<<Sigh>>. 6/16/06 DEA policy statement (apparently as "misinformed" as the rep I spoke with): From the FDA: . Shahab6, If you believe that a history so far of not getting popped is a good indication of legality (and immunity from prosecution), "do what you wish."
It should be said that www.happymeds.com was my mistake. www.happy-meds.com is for the time being churning out drugs quite happily, I would imagine.
If you want to follow what's going on in the industry, you should probably look at http://www.rxaffiliateforum.com. It used to be a rather vibrant forum with lots of activity, and it still is to some extent, but most of the conversations have to do with the lastest prosecutions and what companies have stiffed affiliates.
Good resource. From that site, two relevant indictments: One from California - operators of an affiliate program using online questionnaires to sell the very drugs offered through RXPayouts, the subject of this thread: California RX Affiliate Indictment and Georgia: Georgia Indictment These are 2006 indictments. Not old news, but current efforts and not what I would call, as this thread starter once called it, "alarmist rhetoric." I am no lawyer, and I don't claim to be. But I would imagine that once the engine starts truly rolling, it will not only be the main hub (such as RXPayouts) and top levels of the multi-level marketing scheme themselves, but the shadowy "physicians" who purport to write the questionnaire-based scripts as well as all sub-affiliates/lower levels of the multi-level marketing rings that will be gone after.
