We’ve warned you that you’re better off staying away from so-called no prescription pharmacies. Now a member of Canada’s parliament wishes these pharmacy scammers had stayed away from him.

As the CBC reports:

Fredericton Conservative MP Keith Ashfield is learning a hard lesson about how the internet has changed the old question: what’s in a name? The federal cabinet minister registered the domain name keithashfield.ca during the 2008 election to promote his candidacy.

But Ashfield, now the minister of state for the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency, let the registration lapse, which allowed someone else to take over the domain name.

The new owner is using the page for a totally different purpose than politics. Now if someone is looking for information on the Fredericton politician, they won’t find it at keithashfield.ca. What they will find are details on how to buy prescription drugs “with no prescription.”

The site lists various drugs available from overseas pharmacies without a prescription including OxyContin, Ritalin and diazepam.

“Obviously it doesn’t make me very happy,” Ashfield said. “But in this day of technology, obviously I’ve learned a lesson from this.”
