Using Fraud to Profit from Swine Flu?
If you thought Swine Flu or H1N1 influenza virus were great shorts for stocks popping on the news, there is a whole new fraud take out there. It looks like the FDA and FTC are advising the public to be wary of websites and promotions out there playing into everyone’s fears……
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the Federal Trade Commission are alerting the public to be wary of Internet sites and other promotions for products that claim to diagnose, prevent, mitigate, treat or cure the 2009 H1N1 influenza virus. The agencies are also advising operators of offending web sites that they must take prompt action to correct and/or remove promotions of these fraudulent products or face enforcement action.
The level which fraudsters will stoop down to never ceases to amaze us.
