Illegal medicines are often offered for sale on supposedly trustworthy websites via their webshops. The presentation of the websites often aims to convey that the respective provider is a reputable Austrian company. In this context, contact telephone numbers with Austrian prefixes are used. In many cases ordered products are not shipped at all. However, if pharmaceuticals are shipped, the products are often counterfeits that either do not contain the active ingredient specified or contain the wrong concentration, or impurities or contaminations with other active compounds.

Common features of illegal websites:

• No safety logo for distance selling pharmacies (Further information about safety logo).
• Safety logo for distance selling pharmacies without a link to the responsible drug authority
• No imprint given or imprint without contact data
• No company address given
• Frequently specialising in potency, slimming and hair growth products, but also in high-priced antidepressants, sleeping pills, painkillers and stimulants.
• Decided notice that these are original products
• Decided reference to the possibility of ordering without a prescription
• Advertising with "100% guarantee" in terms of effectiveness
• Supposedly Austrian site that is not registered in Austria
• Spelling mistakes

The following list contains illegal websites checked by the BASG that violate Austrian or European law. The information noted on the place of registration refers to the time of inspection by the BASG. Often blocked websites are re-registered elsewhere (usually outside the EU) and thus become publicly visible again.
