(WBBM NEWSRADIO) — Major headlines about approval for Type 2 Diabetes and weight loss drugs have the attention of millions of people, including scammers. Consumers searching for online pharmacies to attain prescription-only drugs like Ozempic may find themselves in the hands of scammers or internet pharmacies from different countries.
Often, scammers take people's money and then start demanding other fees like high shipping costs, insurance, and customs fees. In many cases, victims end up with unapproved or counterfeit drugs or no delivery at all.
Scammers will often demand payment by wire transfer, digital wallets, or cash apps, so there are no safety nets to get your money back.
Protect yourself by buying only from reputable pharmacies staffed by professionals you can trust.
