Man Faked Being 60 Doctors to Get Ozempic, Exposing Pharmacy Weak Spots

An Illinois man allegedly pretended to be 60 doctors to get weight-loss drugs like Ozempic. Using public ID numbers, he called 261 pharmacies over 3,300 times across 19 states from January 2023 to March 2026. The scheme lasted three years before federal authorities stepped in, revealing that pharmacies poorly checked whether prescriptions came from real doctors. Greer pleaded not guilty to fraud and identity theft charges.
