Crime Medicine has nothing to do with CSI. Crime Medicine is a campaign launched in Sweden to inform citizens that more than 60 percent of prescription drugs sold on the internet are counterfeit and potentially dangerous, or substandard.

The online experience starts on a fake online pharmacy, but after a few seconds the user is taken to the backstage of the site, to discover the truth that hides behind that e-tailer.

Excellent work by Granath Euro RSCG!

kudos.

Nicely thought out campaign, and something that was obviously needed.

But i think it raises other questions, like why are there so many taking prescription medicine?

Surly this its not such a good thing and the reason why it makes viable for sites that sell counterfeit and potentially dangerous products like this... and without a prescription! what do these people really use the drugs for?

This is quite an interesting campaign. Instead of being a website that strictly lists the warning signs of the fake websites it is somewhat interactive, which makes for a more interesting campaign.
It's amazing how people can get away with this, but what amazes me even more is that people actually think they can attain perscription medication without a perscription. There are so many scam sites that you think this kind of site would be top of mind.
