Poland targeted by Internet Viagra scammers
Classified Polnews
Poland has become a rather lucrative market for Internet scammers selling fake drugs using e-mail spam marketing programs. Polish people, as well as many others in Eastern Europe, are prone to purchase the fake drugs because the low cost of the drugs make them very attractive to people with low monthly incomes.

Internet pharmacies in Poland are illegal. One pharmacy, however, in Poland is challenging the law and is selling drugs on the Internet. This pharmacy is a legitimate operation selling legitimate drugs.
But there are companies around the world that send e-mail everyday to millions of people offering low-cost drugs. Viagra is one of the low-cost drugs that is offered very often.
These low-cost drugs often come from the Far East but are sold by companies that claim that they are Canadian pharmacies.
Just recently a group in the United States that was cooperating with another group in Belize was indicted by U.S. Federal authorities on charges of selling counterfeit prescription drugs. They were selling these drugs over the Internet by e-mail.
Polish people are at a particular disadvantage when it comes to purchasing these illegal drugs in that there is no public awareness program about purchasing drugs on the internet from a reputable pharmacy
Perhaps if the company that is now contesting the Polish law concerning the sale of drugs by a pharmacy on the Internet is successful in its contest of the law, it will be able to embark on a public awareness campaign that will help reduce the number of people in Poland who are taken in by the fraudsters.
