• Fakers Trick The fake drugs that were brought
  into the UK were often disguised as other
  products, such as sample vitamins, sample fish
  proteins or 'calcium for kids', so as not to
  attract the attention of the authorities.
• Counterfeiter Pfizers employee ? One of the
  members of the counterfeit drugs ring managed to
  smuggle around half a million Viagra tablets into
  the UK over a period of six months. This
  particular person also claimed to have extensive
  experience within the pharmaceutical industry,
  and even tried to identify himself as a prominent
  Pfizer employee. However, there was no sign of
  this individual anywhere in Pfizer's employment
  records, according to a company spokesperson.
