PharmacyChecker.com is a fake.
« on: November 11, 2016, 07:53:11 PM »
This is not about computers.
It is about abuse of Internet advertising and fake claims about protecting on-line users for bad or defective merchandise or fake on-line vendors.
As you know, drugs prices in the USA are much higher that other lands. So that is why many computer users will order drugs  on-line. But no Adntivirus program or Malware removal tool can tell you which websites are telling lies about products they have for sale.
Here is on of the main sources for the title of this post:
https://www.legitscript.com/about/setting-the-record-straight/
But that is not the only one. I first saw a post on Amazon about the mentioned web site. A negative report on Amazon gave the title t o this post.
Here is what Lightscript says:
Quote
After Google, Bing, and Yahoo all cut off their relationship with PharmacyChecker and LegitScript was retained to monitor online pharmacy advertisements, PharmacyChecker went into revenge mode (perhaps to try and get that business back), publishing false and personal attacks against LegitScript and its President, John Horton, even implying that John was the subject of a Congressional investigation (completely false).
To date, I can not validate any of this. Do you have any more information?
The key words are:
PharmacyChecker LegitScript pharmacy Internet t fraud

NOTE: I belie CH members might benefit from this off-topic post.
Another quote.
Quote
PharmacyChecker.com has provided verification for online drug sellers engaged in actions directly in violation of its own purported requirements.
PharmacyChecker.com-verified sites are linked to additional, related unlawful activities, including selling narcotics without a prescription.

No problem with the info except for 1 thing...

""But no Adntivirus program or Malware removal tool can tell you which websites are telling lies about products they have for sale.""

This is not what those apps are designed to do...

Other than that...carry on.

Right. Use of AV and malware is like locks on doors.  The lock is of no use if a smooth talking con man tricks you to open the door.
The very sires that claim to help could be e the ones to trick you.
In other words, Buyer Beware!

You missed the whole point and invented an analogy for what was said...

Seen it before.
