SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 30, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- With obesity rates rising to epidemic levels, thousands of Americans are searching for the fastest way to lose excess fat. Unfortunately, many people are learning that the easy way is not always the safest and most effective way.
The FDA and the CBP (Customs and Border Protection) recently took action against websites that sell potentially dangerous, unapproved prescription drugs to U.S. consumers. Over 500 packages, bound for unsuspecting U.S. citizens, were seized and internet service providers, domain name registrars and related organizations were notified that 1,975 websites were selling products in violation of U.S. law.
Millions of people are cheated each year by internet scams and companies whose livelihood depends on selling off-label, counterfeit and bootleg pills purporting to be the same quality and content as the U.S. approved versions. These pills are manufactured outside of the U.S., where there are no safety standards. Because there are no government regulations or manufacturing standards, these diet pills may contain potentially harmful ingredients, as well as containing none of the actual ingredients touted to generate fast weight loss. Unfortunately, American consumers have little to no legal recourse and these internet scams may also expose them to credit card fraud, identity theft and computer viruses.
Unlike internet scams and fraudulent websites, Diet Doc's reputation was built on a solid foundation of honesty and integrity by providing the safest and most effective prescription diet pills and products available on today's market.
