Domain Information
The domain was initially registered on 14th January 2019 and will stop working on 14th January 2023. So, the pharmacy is over 2 years old and still has plenty of time left in its lifespan. This also means the pharmacy must have built some sort of reputation in the industry, but to call it a legit business we need more evidence.
Business Profile
There are security flaws in the pharmacy according to Scamadviser and that’s why the pharmacy received only a 1% trust score.
We detected a privacy service deployed by the owner that is redirecting all the original data about the pharmacy allowing the owner to operate anonymously.
Moreover, the business could be based in Russia, which is famous for its several scam pharmacies in the past.
The phone number available on the website is a fake number and the live chat option provides pre-taped responses when contacted.
Regulatory Approval
The owner did not obtain any regulatory certificate from any authorized body including the CIPA and it got banned in the United States by the NABP. This means you are likely going to buy unauthorized drugs if you decide to buy any of their products and likely put your health in serious jeopardy in the long run.
Furthermore, the drugstore is classified as a rogue business in the LegitScript database as their business model is not transparent and also not following the rules and guidelines laid out by the authorities.
Available Products
The pharmacy does not cover several categories and only offers drugs for select few categories which are severe and highly critical.
Some of its well-known drug categories include:
- Acidity
- Asthma
- Antibiotics
- Diabetes
- Hair Loss
- Men’s Health
- Pain Relief
- Stop Smoking
- Weight Loss, etc
No information available regarding whether they need a valid prescription before placing the order or not, but you should keep a copy of your prescription ready before placing your order.
Product Pricing
The drugs available at the pharmacy’s online store are heavily discounted up to 5 to 15% lower than their traditional market rate. This usually happens when your drugs are of low-quality and duplicate items instead of original products. They are also sourced from India, China, the Philippines, etc where the rates are low as these are not genuine items.
There is also no FDA certificate on the website that could have certified these products even though they claim these are WFDA approved drugs.
Payment Options
Visa, Mastercard, and Discover are the pharmacy’s primary payment options on the billing page. They also offer a Bitcoin payment option which is usually used by scam pharmacy owners as you can’t track the payment.
There is also no SSL certificate on the billing page and website itself and your personal information could be compromised at the checkout.
Shipping Options
The pharmacy only offers International Delivery Service which will cost $29.95 and will take up to 25 to 60 days to deliver depending on your location.
If the package does not arrive within 30 working days, you can order a reshipment for free (for express delivery service only). There won’t be a reshipment on lost packages with regular service.
Hot-Med.com Reviews
The pharmacy does not have a testimonial page which is disappointing as those Hot-Med.com reviews would offer an opportunity to its prospective customers to check what experience their previous customers had with their products.
Despite running for over two years, Trustpilot does not have any Hot-Med.com reviews on its platform suggesting the pharmacy is not so popular with customers.
Conclusion
The claims made by the pharmacy always looked fishy and unreliable right from the beginning and it only got strengthened during our investigation. The website is likely running from Russia, a major red-flag considering the country’s history with scam pharmacies, and also bears other characteristics of a rogue pharmacy.
Therefore, avoid the pharmacy and protect your health and well-being in the long run. We give Hot-Med.com 1 star out of 5 based on our inspection.
