There are days that I am hopeful and positive and inspired by the human race. And then there are other days.

In the midst of widespread fear of an impending Swine Flu pandemic, the scum of the earth have yet again found a way to scam people, take their money and, in this case, endanger their health.

As reported last night on NBC Nightly News, there has been a outbreak of people pawning fake Tamiflu on the Internet. Upon analysis, most of these fake pills only contain acetaminophen (Tylenol) and fillers. The sites are targeting lower income individuals with fear tactics and low-cost promises. I don’t get it. What has happened in our evolutionary biology that has allowed our society to be so filled with sociopaths?

This site, in the past, has been pretty good at taking down scammers. You can read my piece on apartment scams and how the readers of this blog tried to help each other by identifying scammers. You can also read how these scammers then targeted me with hate mail because of the effectiveness of the efforts of Social Age readers.

So perhaps we can start something again. If you know of any Tamiflu Scammers, please add the URL and company name to the comments section below. If we can help one person avoid this scam and recover from the flu with the help of legitimate Tamiflu, we’ve done our job.
