China identifies fake drug site
p2pnet news | Off Topic:- Europe and North America aren’t the only regions to be hit by scammers trying to peddle fake drugs online.
“China’s battle against fake and substandard drugs has taken an unusual twist with the discovery of a Web site masquerading as that of the country’s food and drug watchdog,” says Reuters.
The fake site, http://www.tnb163.cn/sdfs/index.htm, is accessed from another, “purporting to be from a research institute promoting the miracle benefits of a new diabetes drug,” says the story, quoting a report on government-run Web site china.com.
Not only is the site phony, the drug is too, the report says.
But it was still online at 5:22 am PST today.
