I just had a voice mail from Direct Mail Servies in Florida saying I had some prescription refills available and did I want them sent. I am an old PPC customer and am wondering if anyone else has had these calls?

Think they are scammers? sounds familiar did they have Indian acents with american names?

Call Back DPS and talk to them Directly...If it is not a Scam..... DPS will have your refills if you had refills left with PPC!

Carefull. I finally got a call from an outfit in "Miami Florida" YESTERDAY (caller ID said "Miami Florida") and said I had refills available. It was COD $400 and when I questioned them "she" said when I get it I can open it before giving the MO to the driver. I said they don't allow that and she hung up. I was waiting for a call like that. I thought I might be spared :-). OH, I never used PPC.

Added PS: She had an accent. Young sounding girl.

That is why I say call DPS Pharm In FL and ask them If you have any refills left from PPC.

Ok I recd a call offering a refill for $499 payable by COD thru FedEx....her name was Madeline. Has anyone else gotten a call from her? BTW I also got the DPS call....DPS is legit.

In the past month I have received at least 10 calls and voice mails saying I have a refill and to send anywhere from 300 to 500 (actually 499) or COD. I have never ordered the meds they are quoting. The ONLY place I have ordered any meds from was Friendly in March, and their refill calls are not the same. All I can think is names are just being distributed all over anymore.

Thank God I used a different email addy as besides Friendly's everyday reminders I now have at least 10 new pharms from no where sending spam to me.

I never listen to names as even if I was to call back, that person would forget the false name they used on me anyway.

I got a call from a number in New York (Syracuse?) the number was not even blocked but she asked me about "my hydrocodone" and how much she had and cod amount etc if I wanted to order. Now, I don't know who "she" is, I don't even take that medication, and she knew my name, which is not said in my voice mail message. This is very bothersome... scam or trouble? I dont know!! Has anyone else received a phone call from that area??

I get 3-5 calls a week asking if I want a refill[on anything].
The area code is NY or CA and sometimes a reroute to a local number.They always have an accent with some Anglo sounding name.So far they all want payment first with MC or Visa.None of them will ship first, allowing me to pay after I received,even after I explain to them that I am as trustworthy as they claim to be.
I do not know where they find or buy phone numbers.

I would guess that if you've ordered medication online sometime in the past -- even many years ago, that your name and telephone number has either been sold to other people/entities, or that some of the people who used to work with former online services may still be trying to operate in some way, even if they don't have a website. For example, I received a stamped letter, postmarked in Florida but with no return-address, with a one-page letter stating that the company (if that's what it really is) had phetermine and phendimetrazine in stock. The letter said that only phone orders were acceptable, and it didn't say whether credit cards were accepted. I think the asking price was about $329 for 90 tablets of either, plus shipping. I found the letter somewhat confusing, because it offered shipping from either the United States, which the letter said took up to 6 days, or shipping from India (which the letter said could take significantly more time). Yet, oddly, the shipping from the United States was about $30 cheaper than the shipping cost from India. The letter did not state where the pills were actually manufactured.

Actually, the whole letter was kind of weird, IMO.

If I accept their COD offer from NY...will Fedex let me inspect the contents before paying the COD amount?

NO

Emohurtz - IMHO, accepting an order from someone who calls you on the phone (or an unsolicited email) is nuts. Sorry to be blunt. These people are NOT interested in providing you with legit meds - only in your money. No telling what you'd receive.

Be wise (advice alert) - just don't do it. It's alot of hard earned money. These "outfits" will continue to jack up prices, send fake meds or no meds at all (after they have taken your money) as long as people are willing to do it.

Personally, I cannot afford to just throw away $400 (or more). And the risks in not knowing what is in these "meds" - well, I'm not willing to take.

I apologize if this advice is unwelcome. But it is the truth.

OK Funky, I am slapping at your "bug" again. Really. Hahahaha. Thanks.

To the original poster (and I apologize if I have already stated this - I am somewhat challenged,lol). Please do not spend your hard earned monies. Please. If you get something COD - reject it. I promise you - you'll be happier.

It is just disgusting how these "service" are turning out. I hoped and prayed it would be different.

As far as these calls goes, I personally have a hard time believing they are legit. I am wrong often, but that is what my "gut" tells me. For one, my pharmacy never calls me unless I have called them first.

OK, guess I've said what I needed to say. Sally (my laptop, lol) is balking. She doesn't want to work so hard. Lazy Beetch.

ooohhhh... kinky! is that what they call it these days?

I will state this One Last time!....If you were getting your Scripts from DPS=Direct Pharmacy Services (Through any OCS that was using them DPS)....It can't Hurt to call DPS Directly..... and see if you have any remaining refills!!...If you do they will Gladly send them to you for a Good Chunk Of Change!! and Charge it to your CC! This is the Only way you should consider getting your Meds form DPS!!

To take up any Offer from a Phone call that requires you to Pay COD with a Money order is Insane! .....I would STAY Far Far AWAY!

I guess I'm being too trusting. I know DPS is the real deal and u can pay COD. I was hoping this call from New York was the real deal too. my prob is I can't find any F2F in Oregon so I'm kinda screwed. The only one I saw in Portland was for OTN and they've not been answering emails.

EmoHurtz------can you tell me who DPS is, please?

DPS=Direct Pharmacy Services

My Mother gets a refill every moth. She does not deal with the OP anymore as they told her to contact their pharmacy. The pharmacy must be missing somethin because everytime she cal they tell her "why yes you do a another refill"
This has been going on sense April 30th what the chit hit the fan...
So of course I tried but I called the OP because I forgot their pharmacy and they said no. It being the pharmacy was bestquality meds with Stephany and the other chick. Does anyone know their pharmacy. I was doing direct scrips at the the time so I forgot their pharm. Iit worth a try for any pharmacy the we have used in the past.

Hey Steve.. Why not COD? and WITH DPS? Before the new law , I had used DPS , and they were good. I would say they were over priced. Charged to much for shipping and all. But good.

DPS will do a CC.....There is a Scam going around where someone is using the Name DPS and offering you meds COD! If you want to make sure you can just call DPS and ask them if you have any refills .....If you do they will send them and you Pay by CC....If you want to do COD still Call DPS Directly to Assure that you are not being Scammed!

Very good advice Stevo - I hope people heed it. Scammers are multiplying like cockroaches.

I always value your input. Down to earth, etc.

This whole situation with the new law just sucks. It has made is easier for people to be scammed. Even if you get the meds, they cost a fortune.

Thanks, Stevo, for your always informative posts. Much appreciated.

That is not me, Someone stole my password. I only use IOPS...

Rain: Don't insult cockroaches. They are only bugs and don't know any better.

Not sure what is going on here but the other post made from your account on this thread was made from the same IP as the second... so whomever made that other post was in your house
