LowBall Pill Price Scam Uncovered?
25th August 2004
Please see important consumer feedbackSometimes what LOOKS like a great deal has a catch.
FrontierPharmacies or as they are sometimes called - RefillRequest are run by YourRxBiz. They have several websites out there that are basically the same design. They use the same order form and the medication ID numbers are the same. YourRxBiz does not have access to many of the commonly requested medications because YourRxBiz does not actually run the pharmacies.
YourRxBiz group of pharmacies require the customer to provide their primary care physician info and they will not ship any meds without this info. They charge a non-refundable $19.95 processing fee and have free shipping for all orders.
Now here is the catch: we are informed that 95% of all orders including ED pills and 98% of hydrochloride based weight loss prescription orders are denied.
So, they end up by pocketing the processing fee because they know that only a small percentage of the orders will ever go through.
FrontierPharmacies also have a SquareTrade approval so they can advertise on Google and Overture. They received SquareTrade approval because they claim to ensure a physical Doctor/Patient relationship. If they did not ensure this Doctor/Patient relationship they would have never received approval. (SquareTrade is a trade barrier that allows approved US and Canadian pharmacies to advertise on Google and Overture).
We are interested in finding out if this pharmacy is operating a scam.

I already have experienced Frontier pharmacy and of course lost 19.95. The wording of the ad is misleading and it's only after you are already signed up that you learn you must give your physician's name and if you don't have one, that they will provide a doctor's visit for a very big fee. The fact that there is a fee for their providing this visit is not disclosed until after you have ordered and you have lost your 19.95 and either spend more for this visit or accept you have lost the money.
I just discovered that the $19.95 charge I have found on my credit card for the past 3 months was from Frontier Pharmacy. I had to contact the credit card company before I was able to find out who was placing the charge and why. The gentleman {?} from the company acting as the agent placing the charge I spoke to informed me I was being charged a monthly membership fee.
I was unaware there was a monthly fee and don't remember agreeing to
one. He tells me you are automatically enrolled when you place the first
order. I have never even visited this site again and yet I have paid them
$60.00 for a membership I didn't request. He tells me I did agree to it
but I don't recall being informed there was a recurring monthly fee. Time
will tell if I am successful in recovering my money.
