DEA Warns of Potential Phony Pharmacies

Often, these online websites use website addresses that appear to be from the U.S. and are professional-looking in design and seem to be legitimate when, in fact, they are not. These companies operate illegally, deliberately deceiving American customers into believing they are purchasing safe, regulated medications when they are actually selling fake, counterfeit pills made with fentanyl or methamphetamine.

Fake medications can lead to serious health risks including harmful side effects, ineffective treatment and even death.
