Latest Scam: Fake Internet Pharmacy Just Steals Money From You







Latest Scam: Fake Internet Pharmacy Just

Latest Scam: Fake Internet Pharmacy Just
Steals Money From You
04/09/2004 04:04 PM

With all the various online scams that are getting increasingly sophisticated, here's one that's as simple as it is direct. It's a fake online pharmacy that is somehow figures out the bank account numbers of people and just takes $140 from you each month. No one seems to be able to find the actual company, though someone did turn up a letter from them claiming to be an online discount drug subscription service partnered with local pharmacies. The letter seemed to indicate that they had an "opt-out" subscription plan, where you got charged $140/month unless you opted-out. Obviously, that's quite illegal, and people are wondering how the company could have received access to bank account numbers without any authorization from the account owner.

TheRegister has picked up one of the more amusing scam emails apparently making the rounds. It's not entirely clear how much they're actually asking for (the quoted email shows a few different amounts), but those behind the scam are suggesting that they've copyright ed the "@" symbol and users need to pay (somewhere around $10 to $20) for an unlimited one-year license. The thing is... some people might actually fall for something like this.
