RUSSIAN crime gangs are making millions by flogging counterfeit Tamiflu to paranoid Britons online.
People who fear they may not be able to obtain the drug through the NHS may be lining the pockets of overseas conmen.
Many people may also be putting themselves at risk of identity fraud, as well as handing over cash for potentially useless drugs.
Graham Cluley, of computer security firm Sophos said: “It is essential that we all resist the panic-induced temptation to purchase Tamiflu online.
“The criminal gangs are putting their customers’ health, personal information and credit card details at risk. You can be sure they’ll have no qualms in exploiting your confidential data or selling you medications which may put your life in danger.
“If you think you need medication, go to your real doctor, and stay away from quacks on the internet.”
