Making Money in Underground Pharma Sales

While cruising around the somewhat shady Russian forums today looking for people that are still complaining about the 3FN (Pricewert) ISP shutdown last week, I began bouncing around from link to link between these users' posts. As is the usual, once you get in deep enough, "business" opportunities begin to surface such as PPC (pay per click) services, money mule opportunities, or the average forum sponsored buying and selling of malicious tools and information. Today I found another "in" into the less than reputable dark economy style business, specifically the online pharmaceutical industry.
You see these sites all the time, often they've been placed on the back end of legitimate mom and pop sites that were exploited in order to serve up the familiar Canadian Pharmacy versions or the Indian Pharmacy, or the generic ones even.
Today I found a company that facilitates these webfronts. The ad says "We drive cash your way." and goes on to say "We are a pharmacy affiliate program developed for SEO professionals worldwide. We are a pay per sale type of program offering high commissions, high quality sites and convenient payment plans for our partners. We are a pay per sale type of program offering high commissions, high quality sites and convenient payment plans for our partners. If you are willing to join us, please ask your fellow webmasters for an invitation since we require a recommendation.

The site's "About Us" section informs prospective partners that they work directly with the manufacturers to offer the most popular medications, that includes rock-bottom prices on men's health medications.
So essentially, what you do is supply the webfronts and handle your particular orders, likely through referral numbers set-up in the web pages themselves, and this company supplies the meds. Something like a pyramid type business where you make more money by referring more people. Seems much easier than achieving Ruby Level selling AmWay. According to the site, you will then earn up to 50% revshare (revenue share) on every sale and another guaranteed 10% on the total commission on any referral sales that are made. Commission payments are made in these not-at-all sketchy business methods: Bank wire, Stormpay, Moneybookers, EGold, Epassport, Fethard, or PayPal.
Another site offers 20% commision on sales up to $4000, 22% from 4-10k, and 25% on 10k+. What they lack in commission, they make up in service.
The internet has opened up a whole new way of doing business, both legitimate and illegal. Unfortunately, the dark side continues to expand, even as the authorities are having better luck shutting some of them down.
