The Health and medical scams try to make money by exploiting people who have a medical condition or are worried about their health. The scammers offer solutions or cures where none exist, and promise to simplify complex health treatments.
Like other scams, health and medical scams can end up costing you a lot of money. However, these scams may also be dangerous to your health.
If you try a phoney medicine or weight loss treatment, or take medicine that you have bought from an internet scammer, you could be putting your health at great risk.
