Counterfeit cosmetic surgery products are a health and safety hazard that consumers need to be aware of, say officials. 
 
People have been sickened, paralyzed or even killed by injections of fake botox and other injectable substances such as silicon. These products can also be contaminated with bacteria. 
 
The safest way to obtain these treatments is from legitimate physicians and even then if the price is cut-rate, the patient should be wary of counterfeit products.

If we ever decide to undergo plastic surgery, we must be well-informed about it! Learn all we can about the surgery or procedure and make sure that our surgeons are reputable and licensed. These are our bodies and health we are talking about! So don’t opt for cheap operations and procedures. Get the best one you can! Speaking of these deceptions, just lately, I found an article here. http://personalmoneystore.com/moneyblog/2008/08/16/harvard-gets-hacked-by-scam-mortgage-site-video-proof-exposed-by-the-personal-money-store-no-fax-payday-loans/ This about hackers that disturb google results. The major targets are the reputable non commercial domains such as .edu.gov.org. This is major concern since these acts are done just to gain profit and some unfair advantage. Let us be wary of these acts of deception. I’m so glad that personalmoneystore.com posted this very informative and helpful article. I hope everyone reads this and may it serve as a warning that scams, fakes and fraud are prevalent these days. Let us all be wise!
