INDIANAPOLIS -- The Indiana's Attorney General is cracking down on scam artists who want to take advantage of fears over the H1N1 flu virus.

The office has posted a list of items online that have been cited by the Food and Drug Administration as bogus flu-prevention or treatment products, 6News' Stacia Matthews reported.

"I'm calling it the online snake oil salesmen, and they are preying on people's fears," said AG Greg Zoeller.

In the past two weeks, federal regulators have purchased and analyzed products representing to be Tamiflu, a popular antiviral drug available only by prescription. Investigators said the bogus pills contained Tylenol and powdered talc.

Other Internet sham items include a shampoo that promises to protect against the virus, new supplements that claim to cure an infection within four to eight hours and a photon machine that is said to prevent symptoms, according to the FDA.

Zoeller said that his office hasn't received any complaints about fake flu-prevention products yet, but that his staff is ready.

"We will aggressively pursue people, even if they are selling it online," he said. "If it reaches Indiana, we're going to step up and protect the consumers of our state."

Residents are encouraged to report suspicious projects on the Attorney General's Web site.
