This is a true story,

The twits down at the place that sorts out the pharmacies online have decided a logo will make sure customers know which is a real pharmacy.

How long before this logo appears on a Lad document?
(with or without the 'faked' bit?)
Don't they ever learn? even the 'Verisign' log gets mis-used. How are they going to police it?

Maybe they implanted the logo with GPS so they can locate and shut down any fake sites using it? Laughing

Yea the peeps down at This place

decided in there infinate wisdom that because the internet was a minefield that as long as the site has that logo, and heres a quote from them

Quote:

One of the main concerns around the supply of medicines via the internet is that members of
the public are often unsure how to distinguish between websites which are operated by a
registered pharmacy and those which operate illegally. Patients may believe they are
purchasing medicines from a registered healthcare professional, when in fact the supplier has
no professional qualifications or healthcare expertise. The new logo is designed to help the
public identify whether a specific website is linked to a bona fide, registered pharmacy or not.
The logo not only provides a visual means to help patients identify whether a website is
connected to a registered pharmacy, but it also provides a direct link to the Society�s website
so that by clicking on the logo, visitors can verify the registration details of both the pharmacy
and the pharmacist(s) behind the site.

Because this isnt behind a login i cant tell you the next bit, all i can say is this is probably the worst thought out thing ive ever seen.
If you really do need to know then pm me, its not rocket science lol

I did provide half the fix, of course most people have never heard of the royal pharmaceutical society website so technically my fix is only as good as peoples knowledge - overall 0/10 for fraud prevention 10/10 for taking a problem and making it even worse.
