It sounds too good to be true!!!!!

[geanine.aurora]

I don't know if anyone has any experience with this... I keep etting these calls from someone who calms to be willing to supply me with "my prescription "for 90 Oxy's . "Free shipping. Excellent product. No questions asked. Please can I have your credit card number? If you're unhappy in anyway you can reverse the credit card, but you will be happy. We have excellent product." God. This is crazy. I ask the foreign guy if he's with the police/government, how do I know he's not just taking my credit card. I ask if there is somthing I can look at. He gives me a Phone number. This whole thing is too weird. I know someone must have ran into these giys in the past. Has this ever happened to you?

Hasn't happened to me, but the title of your thread says it all: if it seems too good to be true, it usually is.

Actually, this seems so shady in so many ways, if I were you, I wouldn't touch this with a ten-foot pole.

Rule 1. if "it sounds to good to be true" then it is.....



Any how the hell do they know what you take and what your phone number is, sounds like a scam or set-up to me, but that's just my 2 cents...........

[duck]

omg. lol, that is the biggest scam I have ever heard. When they ask for your CC # immediately, it's almost always a scam.

[poonwhalla]

you mean they didn't ask for your SS# too?

I was digging through some old email and discovered that at some point I had contacted an Online pharmacy when I thought I might get cut off my pain management clinic. I had cancelled within a day. I kind of wonder if maybe that's how they got some of my info.

You know what they said when nI asked them where they got my info? 'They got it from the AMA !"

There was also a scam going around that they give you the # and when you call they do some kind of crazy phone shit too....it was on another pain board.There is no way I would give them anything...tell them to ship you a free sample of their product and then call you back :)

[HydroApe]

PLEASE do not give them your cc#. This IS a scam.
By the time you'd reverse any charges they'd be long gone with the money.
Your CC company will not be happy with you ;)

I'm sorry, but you had to ask *us* to know if it was a scam or not?
For god sakes woman! Hang up the phone!;)

[Madam Oxy]

^^^^^ What taj says, but with more harshness in my voice.

I would even add...and don't answer the phone again, unless you know who's calling.

[ZodiacKiller]

^^ Is this really necessary? I think it's treading awfully close to violating the 'assholery' rule...

Take care that your not caught off guard and that it might be someone you know or who knows you. Maybe just an acquaintance someone who may pop out of the woodwork and come to your aid, a wolf in sheeps clothing. Take care, later.
