Internet.bs an ICANN approved registar has long been suspected of facilicating the polution of “rogue online pharmacies” by it registary. That suspicion was confirmed when Legitscript – a PharmaCrime Safe Haven , an NABP approved watchdog group that monitor online pharmacies issued a report indicating that Internet.bs not only registered these domains, but act as an incubator and shield for these rogue online pharmacy sites.
According to the report, they estimated that Internet.bs is the Registrar for 33% to 44% of all non-spam rogue online pharmacy domain names, and showed how Internet.bs was willing to help us, even after being informed that they would be used for counterfeit drug sales and the sale of prescription drugs without a prescription.
The WhoIs registration below shows a pattern consistent to what we at scamFRAUDalert see with most fraudulent websites registration. That is registration listing in Panama or Bahamas. A country or place that lack the capabilities and infrastructure to enforce its laws.
