Also remember many companies do not develop their own sites. So just because the look and feel ( templating system ) is the same does not mean the companies are in anyway connected ( this is especially true with online gambling ) .cc is a country code tld -- which is to say that "cc" is the top level country code designated for the ( in this case ) Cocos (Keeling) Islands: http://www.iana.org/domains/root/db/cc.html However, anyone can buy a 'cc' domain and you certainly don't have to host the site on a machine sitting somewhere in the Indian Ocean -- also the database of registered names is now maintained by verisign ( who manage .com, .net etc... ) and various registrars sell 'cc' domains -- register.com, tucows, www.enom.cc ( which happens to be based in Washington state ) etc... Now if you ping the various addresses you get a numerical ip address and with that you can find the geographical location of the machine. This is where things get interesting. Lets start with online-pharmacy.cc -- C:\Windows\System32>ping online-pharmacy.cc Pinging online-pharmacy.cc [124.217.231.126] with 32 bytes of data: Reply from 124.217.231.126: bytes=32 time=363ms TTL=40 Reply from 124.217.231.126: bytes=32 time=359ms TTL=40 Reply from 124.217.231.126: bytes=32 time=360ms TTL=40 Reply from 124.217.231.126: bytes=32 time=368ms TTL=40 Since I don't feel like shelling out $49 dollars. I'll just go to ip2location website and find out where this machine etc... IP Address Country Region City 124.217.231.126 MALAYSIA WILAYAH PERSEKUTUAN KUALA LUMPUR Net Speed ISP Domain - PIRADIUS NET 247LIVESUPPORT.BIZ ( piradius is a Maylaysian isp and 247livesupport.biz is also in Malaysia with the same isp ) Now for rx-pharmacy.cc Pinging rx-pharmacy.cc [208.43.130.19] with 32 bytes of data: Reply from 208.43.130.19: bytes=32 time=97ms TTL=47 Reply from 208.43.130.19: bytes=32 time=97ms TTL=47 Reply from 208.43.130.19: bytes=32 time=97ms TTL=47 Reply from 208.43.130.19: bytes=32 time=101ms TTL=47 ( You can see right away its a different address space ) And here it is: IP Address Country Region City 208.43.130.19 UNITED STATES OKLAHOMA OKLAHOMA CITY Net Speed ISP Domain COMP ZIPSERVERS INC SOFTLAYER.COM ( zipservers is an OK based service provider and softlayer.com happens to be in Queens new york city ) Finally, you'll notice the product base is quite different -- no controlled substances on rx-pharmacy. Verdict, it is unlikely that you are dealing with the same vendor proper. The only connection is that both are selling products from Argentina and both bought their domain name from Tucows. Online-pharmacy.cc is a year older. Since you had bad luck with rx-pharmacy why don't you just use online-pharmacy. k

The site is not a 'rip off' -- don't know why you got such flaky service. I ordered several times from them. Never took more than a week or so. All of the medicine comes from argentina -- but what you see is what you get. The images are the exact packaging and pharmacy that they claim to be, and exactly what you get in the mail. If you want to pay extra for Roche ( valium or xanax for example ) you get the brand name. I, however, did not find this necessary. Gador introuduced a generic version of xanax - xr, before it was available in the states. Later when the affordable ( somewhat) alprazolam - cr came along -- I had my doctor prescribe it and if anything found it to be inferior. Also I had part of one order seized by US customs. The company re-shipped the medicine promptly. Furthermore customer service was good -- always responding to emails within 24 hours. I never had any trouble with using my visa. Transactions are encrypted with a valid certificate. Sounds like you had a bad experience; but I can't imagine it being the norm. k
