KTNV Las Vegas reporter Shakeria Hawkins interviewed Arkose Labs COO Frank Teruel for a consumer protection segment on counterfeit prescription drug scams. Teruel explained that roughly 90% of online pharmacy websites operate illegally, often selling counterfeit medications without prescriptions that can contain dangerous substitutes. He advised consumers to look for NABP-verified pharmacy credentials before purchasing medications online and to check that the site requires a valid prescription. The segment also covers how fraudsters use social media ads and fake reviews to lure victims into purchasing counterfeit drugs.
