Scammers ship anti-psychotics instead of real orders

Ordering drugs over the Internet has never been easier. Unfortunately, it's also never been entirely safe, as this AP report makes clear:

Consumers who thought they were purchasing sleep aids, antidepressants and other drugs over the Internet instead were shipped a powerful anti-psychotic, sending some unwitting victims to the emergency room, federal health officials warned Friday.

The Food and Drug Administration said a number of consumers took the schizophrenia drug, haloperidol, after being shipped what they thought were a variety of different pills, including Ambien, a sleep aid, and the anti-anxiety medications Xanax and Ativan. Others thought they were getting the antidepressant Lexapro.

On the Internet, no one knows you're a black marketeer with no scruples.
