From bogus cures to medical identity theft, scammers are trying to steal your money. But unfortunately, these frauds could injure more than your wallet—they could make you sick or sicker.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warns that you don’t have to look far to find a health product that’s bogus. Products can be found in stores, on the internet, and through mail-order catalogs. They can even be passed along by word of mouth. Knowing how to identify them is crucial to your health.
Medical Identity Theft
Medical identity theft goes beyond a financial transaction. It can also inhibit your medical care or even cause you legal problems.
