 Changed status to confirmed spam.

lonydipecme.com is one of the sites for the spam operation, "Canadian Health&Care Mall." This site and its spam are violating US law:
* It offers medications which may not be dispensed without a prescription, including Provigil and sometimes Valium, which are federal contolled substances, without requiring any prescription.
* Its site advertises generic versions of drugs like Viagra which are still under patent protection. Therefore, any generics are by definition counterfeit.
* Its site includes "certificates" claiming endorsement from Verisign, The "Canadian Pharmaceutical Association," The American Food and Drug Administration, and the "American Consumers Organization." All of these claims are outright falsehoods and violations of these agencies' trademarks in those cases in which such an organization actually exists. See also the BBB alert at http://www.bbbmwo.ca/commonreport.html?bid=1134034 regarding sister site My Canadian Pharmacy.
* Viewing satellite photos of the addresses it gives for the locations of its offices in Ontario and Louisiana show residential areas with no evidence of the existence of large buildings like those pictured on the "contact us" page of their website. The location of the warehouse in New Delhi, India is not precise enough for Google Maps to locate it and may be a nonexistent address. See http://spamtrackers.eu/wiki/index.php?title=Canadian_Health%26Care_Mall .
* The site displays a forged pharmacy license claiming to be issued by the state of Minnesota, USA. See http://spamtrackers.eu/wiki/index.php?title=Canadian_Health%26Care_Mall for a response from the Executive Director of the Minnesota Board of Pharmacy confirming that this is a forgery.
* It presents photos of people it claims are the physicians and pharmacists running their operation. At least some of these photos have been identified as stock photos from gettyimages.com. See http://spamtrackers.eu/wiki/index.php?title=Canadian_Health%26Care_Mall#Fake_Doctors
* There is doubt whether they actually sell anything; the website may only be collecting credit card numbers.
* It violates US law by offering drugs for sale to US residents that they may not legally import from pharmacies outside the US, and it offers them for sale without prescription. See http://www.fda.gov/oc/buyonline/faqs.html
* It offers for sale to US residents drugs that have not been approved by the FDA for sale in the US, like rimonabant.
* Its site offers for sale antiepileptic medications like Neurontin, Depakote, Lamictal, Trileptal, Keppra, and Topamax. Given the documented fact that even when spamvertised pharmacies deliver medications, they are subpotent or completely inactive about half the time, well-controlled epileptics taking these pills could have seizures while driving, causing an accident that could kill or seriously injure themselves or others, or at very least, lead to loss of their drivers' licenses.
* Its site offers for sale anticancer agents like casodex and nolvadex. Again, even when spamvertised pharmacies deliver medications, they are subpotent or completely inactive about half the time. The first indication people taking these medications would have that they are taking inactive drug would be recurrence of their cancers.
* Its site offers for sale antibiotics like Levaquin, Amoxicillin, Augmentin, Cipro, Zithromax, and Suprax. As Canadian Health&Care Mall does not even claim to offer overnight delivery, the only reason to order these drugs without prescription from a pharmacy that takes weeks to deliver (if it ever delivers at all), is to keep it at home "just in case." As most people are unaware that viral illnesses do not respond to antibiotics, are not aware of which organisms are most likely to cause which infections nor which antibiotics will cover those organisms, and do not have the ability to perform culture and sensitivity testing to confirm empiric treatment, this practice is highly likely to select for drug resistant organisms like CA-MRSA (community acquired methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus, a particularly aggressive variety of staph that causes recurrent skin boils and has a 50% mortality when it causes pneumonia). As Cipro and Levaquin also have anti-tubercular activity, their use can select for drug resistant tuberculosis. Extended drug resistant mycobacterium tuberculosis (XDR-TB) is extracting nearly 100% mortality in South Africa at present.
* Its site offers for sale Coumadin, a narrow therapeutic index drug that requires very frequent blood testing to determing the correct dose, and continued monitoring to readjust dose due to interactions with food and other medications. The consequence of too much OR too little can be stroke or death.
* Its site offers for sale major antipsychotic medications like Seroquel, Abilify, and Risperdal. In addition to the fact that inactive drug could cause a patient to relapse, leading to consequences like loss of employment, even if these pills contain real medication and the correct quantity of real medication, they are only sold by prescription because patients taking them must be monitored for possible side effects like diabetes.
* Its site offers for sale the fertility medication clomid which carries the risk of multiple pregnancy, visual disturbances, and ovarian tumors, especially if used in excess.
* Their spam messages violate the CAN-SPAM act because they have forged "from" and "reply to" addresses, are sent from hijacked computers without the knowledge or permission of the owners, do not include valid information identifying who has sent the spam or how to opt out, and do not honor opt-out requests on their websites. Addresses are collected by bots spidering the internet for email addresses.
* Sites in this spam family (My Canadian Pharmacy, International "Legal" Rx, Canadian Health&Care Mall, Men+ Health, US Drugs, VIP Pharmacy/"Viagra+Cialis") utilize hijacked Unix servers using the tirqd trojan. See:

* In each case in which this reporter was able to contact the person named in the whois information in the domain registration of one of these sites, that person denied having any knowledge of his/her personal information being used to register any domains. Some victims had already been aware of fraudulent charges on their credit cards for domain registrations. See documentation at http://spamtrackers.eu/wiki/index.php?title=Fake_yambo_whois

Online prices for warfarin 5mg x 90 tabs (generic coumadin, a blood thinner) on 4/13/08:
Rite Aid (drugstore.com): US $35
CVS US $46
Canadian Health&Care Mall US $227

The only reason for someone to order warfarin via an illegal pharmacy is to avoid having to see a doctor and get blood tests done to obtain a prescription. Warfarin is derived from a natural compound and has a complex metabolism and many food/drug interactions. Not only is there a very narrow range between the dose that prevents clots and the dose that causes excessive bleeding, the dose is different from person to person and even varies at different times for the same person. There is an extremely high risk of someone having complications like bleeding or strokes if he/she is not getting regular blood tests to check whether the dosage needs to be changed.
