'It may make a change from receiving junk email about Viagra, but you should never ever buy drugs online, as they could be putting your health in mortal danger,' said Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant at Sophos,'Spammers are not interested in people's health, they're only interested in fat profits.'

'Drugs like Tamiflu should be prescribed by legitimate doctors, not quacks on the Internet,' added Cluley, 'Buying medicine online from a website advertised by spam email is like playing Russian Roulette.'
