Posted on 9:05 am in October 2012, Over $5000, Over 13 by Lynnie

The Internet has revolutionized how people share information, interact, and obtain products and services. However, the same platform that has transformed our lives is also being used by illegal operators to sell fake medicine that puts lives at risk.

For many U.S. consumers it is second nature to turn to the Internet to conduct business. We shop for everything from houses, cars and electronics to commonplace household items via the Internet. We pay our bills and manage our bank accounts and investment portfolios from our computers. But when it comes to purchasing prescription medications on the Internet, caveat emptor – or let the buyer beware.

The ideal video will be something that you yourself would tweet, pin post to Facebook or tumblr, or share anywhere online. The overarching goal is to generate online buzz about CSIP, and make the American public aware of the issue. The winning videos will become an integral part of CSIP’s national PR campaign, and will receive national attention.
