Hey everyone. I was trying to get some medication online and attempted to order something using my MasterCard here: [http://www.onlinepharmacycr.com/](http://www.onlinepharmacycr.com/) I found out they didn’t take MC, so dismissed it. Got a call today explaining that I COULD pay with MC if I went through Western Union. I said it sounded great, please send me all the information and let me review. I’m worried I might get burned in some way (money down the drain, no delivery, fake pills, whatever)- so I’m just wondering- does anyone have experience with [http://www.onlinepharmacycr.com/](http://www.onlinepharmacycr.com/) ? Anyone order anything from them? Did you get it? How did it go? Lacking that, does this site look legit to you? It does to me…perhaps I’m just being too paranoid. Brave New World indeed. Thank you for your reples- Bamboo Boy ---

No, I’ve never used that site, and their suggestion that you use Western Union makes me suspicious. But they do take Visa, so why not buy a prepaid Visa card and just pay with that? ---

Is there a reason you want to order from this particular onlne pharmacy? I have used a Canadian online pharmacy for the past two years with no problems. They were recommended by my wife’s physician. I would be happy to send you a link if you PM me. ---

Yeah, Western Union would scare the crap out of me. Though, the thought of being able to buy some stuff without a prescription at all is nice. And they don’t have a ton of painkillers on there, which would indicate (to me) that they were fishing for junkies. So there’s that. I’m curious to see if you do it, and if you do what your experience is like. Keep us posted! ---

The site looks similar to the thousands of scam sites run by spammers. I have no information about this site in particular, but many of them are run mostly to steal credit card details. Some will actually deliver items, but they’ll be counterfeit, and may be dangerous. Typically they only stock a few items like (fake) viagra, the rest is just there to make them look legit. Here’s [one example](http://blogs.cisco.com/security/largest-fake-pharmacy-spam-affiliate-program-closes/) of an online pharmacy operation. Get a doctor’s recommendation first. ---

> [@Tristan](#): > > I’m curious to see if you do it, and if you do what your experience is like. Keep us posted! Hate to be a ‘pill’ [nyuk nyuk nyuk] but I chickened out of going with this dodgy smelling site. If you are following the reheating chili thread, you will see that chickening out is kind of the theme of the week. I’m going to investigate FearItself’s recommendation. I am much more comfortable about it all knowing another Doper has been my guinea pig by proxy! 😃 Seriously though- thanks for the prompt yet thoughtful answers! This place is awesome. Every time I go to another message board, I am reminded of how high the caliber of discourse here really is. Thanks! ---

Got a call today explaining that I COULD pay with MC if I went through Western Union. I said it sounded great, please send me all the information and let me review. I don’t know about that particular site - but there are sites out there that sell prescription meds online, illegally. Many of them want you to go through something like Western Union so it’s harder to trace.
