Really. Just DON'T DO IT. I just don't understand people to order online pills without knowing the source. Not to mentioned those ever popular spams about tgwpd.

 Billerbeck said Bergeron, 57, suffered from several health problems, including a bad hip and severe allergies.

I heard of this story this morning on my local news...tragic.

Having said that, I can't fathom what would possess someone to sell tainted drugs to someone who must obviously feel desperate if they're looking for pain relief (or whatever) off the internet.  How low can someone go.
