IDAHO FALLS - The top headlines for the past several days are the swine flu outbreak. It seems to be catching the attention of everyone, including scammers.
The Idaho Falls Better Business Bureau (BBB) said scammers are offering a vaccine for the swine flu, but there isn't one.
If you just go online and Google swine flu, you'll see it. The scam is a swine flu vaccine offered by CanadaPharmacy.com.
The BBB said scammers are preying off people's fear of the swine flu.
"They are going have that panic attack and they are going to try to do everything they can to try to protect themselves. And again, these are not the remedies this is not a cure. They are wasting their money," said Donna Oe, BBB Spokesperson.
It is very dangerous to buy medication over the internet; you just can't be sure what you're getting.
If you have flu-like symptoms, talk to your doctor and get a prescription from a pharmacist.
