it is great to have you here. come back and we wil talk more. "the willis report" is next. ♪ gerr hello, everybody. i'm gerri willis. tonight on "the willis report" new questions about safety at construction sites all over the country. as the fallout mouse from the deadly building collapse in philadelphia. also, it is the biggest dragnet of consumer information and our naon's history. the uproar grows. >> you can't have 100 percent security and also then have 100 percent privacy. gerri: the market's jump. the dow higher for the week. how do you lock in profits? we are watching out for you tonight on "the willis report".

gerri: all of that and more, but first looking for cheaper prices and convenience. consumers are turning to online pharmacies to buy their prescription drugs. most of us are unaware of the hidden dangers. it is stimed that over more than 36,000 web sites selli prescription drugs, only 270 illegitite. anothe1500 may be legitimate, and there not. with more on this, the ceo of vital spring's technology. thank you focoming back on the show. good to see you. i want to start by talking about some many of these web sites are completely illegitimate, the vast majority. what is the danger, the res of using one of these web sites? >> well, there is a lot of rest. one is that you may notctually be getting the drug did you think you're buying. because they may be produced in

some other countries. you don't really know what t ingredients are. you could endp buying a prescription or medication that is completely fraudulent, and the side effects, god forbidou take one of those, interacting th another medicion could be disastrous. gerri: and we are not talking here, right, but just drugs that ar not meeting the same standards as u.s. drugs. we're also talking about drugs that are produced by cminals, by gangs who are just ting to makeoney off of americans who want to buy cheaper dru onle . >> that is exactly right. that is a signifint compone of that, which is why there are talkingbout certain pharmacies , as you said, that could be outside of the united stat. it is very important when you go to an online pharmacy to make sure that, in fact, it i credible because so few are. in fact, that tre is a u.s. postal address on the website because there ishe ris that a lot of this is happening outside

of theountry. gerri: where did the red flags? a lot of peopl want to save money on drugs.3 they think on-line shopping i the way. what is that one red flag that will tell you, hey, this website is no good? >> well, a lot of these online pharcies as you for a lot of personal information. and if they are not asking you for a prescription, that is a red flag. because any credible pharmacy is going to require a prescription from a doctor before they're gog to fill it. a lot of them actually start the suspect once stuck to ask you a lot of personal information. and with the uproar about dat privacy and security that we are heing about today, that is a huge r flag in terms of putting your personal information out there for people to scam. and so you should be concerned. and the other staggering number that i was really quite surprid, the numr of teenagers tt actually use some

of these websites to buy illicit drugs. it is a huge number. and so parents that are listening today really need to pay attention. gerri: that think that is a good piece of advice. tell me, if you are somebody out there who is despera to reduce your cost of drugs, what do you do? if online is not the way to go to save money, ho a discount of pharmaceuticals? >> that is a great question. you kno companies like walmart and safeway have gotten very aggressive in terms of providing prescriptions and a very cost-effective price. there was a couple of yea a, this whole notion of being able to get a lot of the prescriptis at $4. the other obvious option, of course, i goinghe generic route. there are many medications that are available in generic that are far more cost-effective than the brand name. and a lot of compaes today are tryi to make it more accessible for the amount of

copayment or co insurance that they have to pay inrder to make it more amenable for peopl to stick to their medications and ke sure they take them. gerri: thank you for helping as out. great to see you. have a great weend. >> thank y very much. gerri: look, if you remember anything about this segment's, it should be this. look for the simple -- symbol. a pharmaceutical website. ans the vend has been approved by the national association of boards pharmacies. that is no small thing. more to it later in the show on how to protect yourself. now it's time for your thoughts. here is our question, do you buy prescription drugs on line? log on to gerrillis.com, vote on the rightand side of tte screen alysiof the results of the end of the show. andther house news, an fda advisory panel has voted to ease safety limits on the former blockbuster diabetes bill of india. back in 2010 the fda limited the use after studies linked it to

heartt attacks. that caused a number of people using the drug supply from to under 50,000 to under 3,000. the new study sayshe heart attack link may have been erbln. before you run out your pharmacy, there are sll restrictions, including a requirement that you must sign a waiver statingou are awa of the side effects. while there are over a dozen diabetes medications on the market, this i one of two that creases patients sensitivity to insulin done b major way to break down, under its. this could be a major breakthrough for the nearly 26 million americans whouffer from the disease. remees pictures, the building collapsed. killing six people, injuring many more. raising questions. new details now emerging about the contctor and the people involved in the philaladelphia accident with us now, former prosecutor. lcome back tohe show.

you know, very curious facts seeming to emerge from this story. i have been following it closely you have to think, the federal government itself has ruled against some of the things we are hearing happened on the site. for example, no -- no la section should be permanent and stand alone without lateral braccng, and that was one of the criticms of this demolition that we have been talking about and then you can see here. there was no bracing. in fact, many of the tactics, many of the ploys to bring this building dow maybe not above board. what do you think of that? >> well, you know, it is being inveigated criminally as well as a civil suit already filed. yo know, there are two things going on. complaints about this building made to the city. we may not want the government to be in our backs all the time, but when it comes t safety in our cities we expect whenn they go out and inspect andhey did

inspect this upon a cplaint three weeks bore and said it was fine, you know what they did , they wentut and said the placards are in the window. this guy is licensed. that ist. then look at the disaster that happened. gerr uelievable, nowe're finding a that the contractor has a rap sheet. heas been in trouble with the law, insurance fraud, narcotics charges. goes on and on. assault. sure, you may have had a legitimate license, but you know ho it is with local government. i mean, let's face it. there are a lot of things that go on under the table in the city's. you have to think maybe this was one of the. >> take a look. what he put on his application. on a job that i understand would normal cost $250,000,e put down that he was getting paid $10,000. he hires workers and is not even give them har hats. they are not secured on a line

when they're doing the work. they're seen using crowbaas, just sitting brakes. there's nothing to prote the sidelk. it is a very shoy job. philadelphia does not license these type of dolitions, these lessons as a contractor, maybe there really ought to. he is being investigated like he was the drug captain oa cruise ship. it requires some recklessness, but it was extreme recklessness on the contractor's board. gerri: in case this only affec people in philadelphia, the reality is on any given day there are some six and a half million people on 250 to 200,000 construction sites in the country. anything could happen. 300 open demolition permits in philadelph alone right now. so it seems to me it is incuent onll of us to make sure that the people whore doing the are keeping everybody safe. i mean, it is astonishing to me thaa here you have peopl working in a salvation army store next door by the demolition was proceeding, and

it does people whoot killed, the losses tumbd over on top of them. everyby in the neighborhood, anybody in construction some other kinds of things are talking about. saw the kinds of shoy practices, nothing happened. this could have been prevented. >> thas right. andhey complained. it was not as if they were silent. they actually complained. the federal goverent only has osha regulations which are really about the safety of workers. it realldoes not have a place in determining these local issues about the safety of the demolition itself. whether they should or shouldn't, i don't know, but i will tell you, but the contractors and a bunch of trouble and the tow has been scramblingoo and read inspect all the other sites because he has four sites in the city, two of them have already been found to be in violation when ery inspected after the tragic. gerri: iguess we will hear a lot more out of philadelphia on the story. thank you for coming on. greato see you. have a great weekend. more to come, including more on the big rally on wall street
