The dangers of “rogue” international online pharmacies that sell fake or substandard medication go beyond just those affecting your health. Rogues are also known for playing loose with your personal information, including fraudulently charging your credit card or even selling the information to other scammers.
The DEA has issued a press release warning about criminals impersonating DEA special agents in an attempt to extort Americans who may have purchased medication from disreputable websites. The scammers, posing as DEA agents, call consumers and inform them that they have committed a crime in their online or telephone purchase of pharmaceuticals, sometimes citing illegal drug importation. The scammer then insists that the consumer pay a “fine” or face criminal prosecution. The reality is that DEA agents will never personally call a person to demand any form of payment. If you receive one of these bogus calls just refuse their demand and report the rogue activity to the DEA.
Keep in mind that the DEA is primarily concerned with controlled substances, such as Ambien and Oxycontin. Any penalties for ordering non-controlled medication would be served by the FDA and the FDA has never prosecuted or fined an individual for personally importing medications.
This scam is nothing new, and is a reminder that Americans looking to purchase medication from international online pharmacies should be aware of the difference between a potentially dangerous pharmacy and a legitimate one. You can view information on how to identify a fake online pharmacy here. Also, keep in mind that reputable international online pharmacies do not sell controlled drugs to Americans.

curencares.com is a fake internet pharmacy that just does not send your order. They will tell you that “something happened” and try to sell you a larger order than you ask… Still no results… Then tell you there is a remaining balance!!!! I have a legitimate prescription and just wanted to make a one time purchase. Again the website is curencares.com and the same idiot answers the phone every time… And even told me the DEA intercepted the first package. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THEM!!! They are CRIMINALS!!!!!!
took $112.00 from me
I used international drug store or international pharmacy. They have a great website for predominantly c2 and c1 medication. I took a chance and ordered sent the money to Cameroon. The guy said the FDA is holding my package and require an additional refundable $80 to release my package. They said they used EMS, which is part of the USPS.ITS A SCAM.DO NOT USE INTERNATIONAL DRUG STORE.
As we explain the the article, the FDA does not contact consumers in this manner.
This is no doubt a rogue pharmacy.
Also, if by “c2 and c1 medication” you are referring to controlled substances, only online pharmacies registered with the DEA can sell controlled substances.
