I like many Americans today are faced with the rising costs of living in the USA with the gasoline costs rising daily intern driving up the costs of everything and the American pharmacy company charging outrageous prices for the medicines we need to get through life.  

Every body is looking to make ends meet. Our doctor here first suggested to my wife about trying to get here high blood pressure medicine online because when you buy 3 months in advance for the generic it saves over $150. So we did I had also dealt with a company online in the past called (Just US Rx / aka -CC medical center) I dealt with a telemarketer named John at (305-722-3178) I had previously purchased Ambian sleep medication and received it.

As every one here knows we constantly get solicitation calls from the telemarketers on a regular basis. One day he had called and it was right when I got the price of a pain medication I was taking for a bad back from a fall at my construction job. He had told me that his pharmacy did not carry it but gave me the name of a company that did (USRD Pharmacy) and that he had recommended many customers to them and that they had all been satisfied but I had to buy 4 months at a time.

Well I called the guy and spoke to him he had told me the way they do it was the Rx was $400 (witch for 4 months was a good price only $100 per month as opposed to $175) how they did it was I had to western Union $300 to the name Eddy Polanco in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. Then it would be shipped out.

 When I received it I had to send the other $100 or they would never do business again with me. To tell you the truth I didn't like it at first and just gave the idea up. But they just kept calling me saying they had it ready to ship out and were waiting, and this was both the companies that were calling me. The Eddy guy and the John guy. I told John that I didn't like the Idea but he kept saying about all the other satisfied customers and since I had dealt with John and received the Rx I figured o.k. I would do it. So I did I sent the $300 and called.

At first they said it was shipped but after a few days nothing ever came so I called back. That's when they told me that the first guy I was talking to (Joe at #829-712-3989) had given me the wrong price it was $500 not $400 and the same deal was to be applied I had to send another $100 now and when I received it to send the last $100.

Well I didn't like that but I had already invested $300 and to get anything I only had to send $100 more, so I did, thinking now I am going to get it and never again will I do this, so days went by and nothing. So I called again and they acted surprised like "what you didn't get it, it was shipped and some one got it and they would look into it.

A little later on I got a call from a (Francisco Antonio Ramous), who says he is the floor mangier and it was shipped to the wrong place a Brian in another state of the US. It was all Joes or Eddy’s fault I don't remember exactly and they were very sorry and they had another shipment ready at the pharmacy and they were eating the cost of the 2nd Rx but they needed the last $100 so they would have the money for the FedEx shipping from the Dominican Republic to the USA and this was It I would have paid in full and they would not ask for any more I would definitely get it within 3 days.

I argued with them saying I had nothing in writing or anything and that's when they sent me the e-mail with the USRD pharmacy heading so at that point I had new phone numbers and e-mail addresses. I didn't want to do it but I had been out $400 and if I wanted anything or nothing I had no choice. I got in touch with Western Union and they did tell me that they did have to show a valid drivers license and current id to receive the money and they would have the records of who picked it up and there home addresses.

So this was it the last $100 and I would have my Rx for the next 4 months and being in construction and going into winter it would be nice to not have that monthly bill for my Rx, when I was not working and had little or no money and if I didn't get it

Western Union would have there info on who got the money and I would just file a fraud report on them by this time I had the e-mails from them and other information that would help me get my money back. So I did it.

Then they would never answer there phone I left message after message. So I tried calling from other phone lines and they would answer ask who it was and when I told them they would hang up. But they got wise to that and they didn't answer any calls from Pennsylvania. So I had my sister call she lives in the state of South Carolina, they answered and I bet they were surprised when she asked about my Rx.

They hung up on here now they couldn't trust any calls from 2 states. I tried calling the original company (John) and there number was out. I called Western Union and that's when I found out that there were already fraud complaints on the guys and they didn't know how they got the money in the first place and they would only release there info to law enforcement or the police. That's when I stumbled across you. It must have blown them away when you called if you mentioned my name and had a local phone number.

Any way that's when I tried to call the national police and found out no one speaks English so I turned back to you (Dominican Today). And that is my story. If they thought I was going to give up like there other victims they were wrong. I would love to have charges brought up against both of them and one day when they were picked up for something else they would hear my name again and have to pay for what they did. I would even gladly pay another $100 to a lawyer to file the papers in my behalf. I would hate to think they are continuing to do what they want and getting away with ripping people off and that Western Union has there names and addresses and no one will ever hold them accountable. I don't even want my money back I just want them brought to justice. Brian R. Fitzgerald. P.O. Box 2198, Pocono Summit ,PA, 18346, USA 570-872-5101.
