The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has released a list of fraudulent products, including dietary supplements that claim to cure or prevent H1N1, a photon machine, fake Tamiflu and a shampoo that aims to protect users from the virus.
State officials are asking residents to report any suspicious H1N1 products being advertised on the Internet to the state attorney general's office.
The Indiana State Department of Health says residents should stick to traditional ways to prevent the flu, such as getting the H1N1 vaccine from their doctor or local health department and frequently washing their hands.
