Thursday, 9th April:<\/em><\/span> Online pharmacy verification service LegitScript.com<\/a> and Domain Name Registrar ResellerClub<\/a> today announced some very promising results in their united effort against abusive domain name registrations.<\/span><\/p>\n

For several months, LegitScript and ResellerClub have been working together to identify and block domain names associated with rogue online pharmacies that were registered through ResellerClub. Their collaboration has resulted in thousands of rogue online pharmacies being shut down, largely over the past six months. LegitScript reports for the past couple of quarters revealed:<\/span><\/p>\n

* Six months ago, over 13% of the rogue Internet pharmacies in LegitScript\u2019s database (about 8000 at that time) were registered through ResellerClub. After the two companies worked in close collaboration to remedy this, reports show a dramatic decline. Although LegitScript\u2019s rogue Internet pharmacy list has grown to over 35,000 domains, today, ResellerClub domains account for only 0.5% of these rogue Internet pharmacies!<\/span>
\n* What\u2019s more, after this compliance exercise, of all the sites that were shut down, 75% remained offline<\/strong> \u2013 proving that the terminations had a meaningful effect. Meanwhile, nearly all of the 25% that did set shop again did so with other Registrars.<\/span><\/p>\n

LegitScript, which helps consumers and businesses identify trustworthy online pharmacies and avoid problematic ones, works with domain name registrars in order to identify and terminate rogue online pharmacies. LegitScript lauded ResellerClub\u2019s commitment to improving online prescription drug safety and taking prompt action on such domain names.<\/span><\/p>\n

John Horton, president of LegitScript, said: \u201cSome registrars claim that they cannot shut down dangerous \u2018no-prescription-required\u2019 and fake online pharmacies. ResellerClub has proven that this is not true. By refusing to profit from dangerous, criminal activity at the expense of Internet users, ResellerClub has established itself as a responsible example for the rest of the Internet community.\u201d Horton said that LegitScript will be meeting with various government agencies worldwide to identify which domain name registrars are the main sponsors of online pharmacy crime and refuse to suspend such domains. Horton said, \u201cWe appreciate ResellerClub\u2019s commitment to fighting this problem.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Bhavin Turakhia, CEO of ResellerClub also expressed his elation over the results revealed by LegitScript. \u201cWe are happy to be commended by such an eminent organization of the Internet community. One factor that cannot be overstated is that this could not have been possible without the cooperation that our Resellers have continuously provided. Results like these only spur us on to work harder towards our commitment to online safety.”<\/span><\/p>\n
