Organised Russian gangs are targeting paranoid Brits with counterfeit Tamiflu, the crime gangs can earn between £10,000 and £60,000 every day with continuing concerns about swine flu driving their profits higher. With more people turning to the web with worries they might not be able to get the drug from their GP, computer security firm Sophos has found that criminals are driving shoppers online to fake virtual pharmacies who do not realise what dangers they are putting themselves in, not only with their health but also their personal details including bank and credit card details.

The Russian criminal gangs are receiving a share of profits for promoting the counterfeit Tamiflu and sending the unsuspecting public to unlicensed or fake online pharmacies to purchase the drug.

The main countries who are found to be buying Tamiflu and other drugs online from non reputable stores are US, Germany, UK, Canada and France. A lot of people do not know that there are safe licensed outlets to purchase not only Tamiflu but also other drugs such as Viagra who offer detailed advice, information and up to date news, making sure that no one is at risk.
