A survey by a fraud advisory company, MarkMonitor, has revealed something that we have been banging on about for years – most of the websites purporting to be internet clinics and pharmacies are fraudulent. They have discovered that most websites which claim to be based in one territory are actually based somewhere completely different. There are only a few genuine operators in the UK and the Medicines and Healthcare Regulatory Agency, which regulates the industry in the UK, is following up around 100 potential breaches of the law at any one time.
The survey included 3,160 internet pharmacies and most were selling medication well below the recommended price, which suggested that it was all counterfeit, stolen or diluted. More than half of those surveyed did not protect customer data through adequate security measures and only a handful were able to provide genuine third party assurances that they were genuine.
At The Online Clinic you have the comfort of knowing that the security of our website has been verified by a recognised authority on the subject and we display the certificate on our home page. We also provide a link on the Who We Are page of our website which shows customers how to verify the identity and authenticity of our pharmacy through the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain.
