Caveat Emptor - Buyer Beware!
Chalk up another case of me being a trusting dummy!
I was doing an online search sometime in mid 2009, for a particular medication and came across:
www.CompassionatePrescriptions.com
FIRST OFF, THIS COMPANY HAS CHANGED ITS NAME TO:
www.Medix-USA.com
I know, everyone will laugh at my stupidity, so go ahead.
I NOW know...
ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS:
READ THE FINE PRINT UNDER "FAQ", "TERMS AND CONDITIONS", ETC!
I thought I was going to receive a prescription for, or the medication for, the order I placed.
I paid close to $300.00 for a CD ROM! A CD ROM that contained nothing more than a list of doctors and offices and their phone numbers and a map link for each location.
Nothing more than the information on any online phone and address look-up service. It must have taken a long time to compile because it has every conceivable zip code in the US.
About 3 days after I placed my "order", it dawned on me to check the fine print, and then I was really ready to kick myself in the backside. I found out that all I was going to get (plus, I paid for USPS Overnight Delivery) was going to be a CD ROM.
This organization has be given an "F" rating by the BBB, and I now know always to do extensive checking before I order ANYTHING online, medication or otherwise.
My advice:
Always trust your instincts, and check, check and re-check everything possible about any online merchant.
The internet is a great resource, for ripoff artists as well.
