Most seniors get their prescription medications at their local, licensed pharmacy, but the scammers are finding ways to sell counterfeit drugs through legitimate supply chains. As a result, even some real pharmacies may end up unwittingly selling fake drugs. Counterfeit drugs are typically sold on the internet, where seniors are going more and more to get better prices on their medications. This particular scam is quickly becoming more common, prompting the FDA to investigate on average 20 such cases per year, which is a 400% increase since 1990s. The resulting danger is two-fold: unsuspecting seniors end up not only paying for medications that will likely not help their medical condition, but they may also be purchasing unsafe substances that can cause harm to an ailing person. This is a scam that can be detrimental to the body and the purse!
