   RICHMOND, Calif. -- Investigators are seeking people who may   
   have been scammed by a Bay Area man arrested last week for   
   practicing medicine without a license at a fake cancer treatment   
   office, reports CBS San Francisco.   
      
   The Contra Costa Times reports that 69-year-old Vincent Gammill   
   is scheduled to appear in Ventura County Superior Court on Aug.   
   31 in connection with his fake cancer-treatment clinic in   
   Richmond.   
      
   According to the Bay Area station, the investigation by the   
   Ventura County Interagency Pharmaceutical Crimes Unit and the   
   Contra Costa Sheriff's Office began last month after a 49-year-   
   old Thousand Oaks woman told deputies of the scam.   
      
   The woman, who has late-stage cancer, reportedly told deputies   
   she saw Gammill's website and decided to seek his services, and   
   the "faux doctor" allegedly gave her plastic baggies containing   
   various powders, expired medication, and at least one bag of   
   dirt.   
      
   He told her how to mix the compounds, and allegedly told her if   
   it burned her stomach that was good, and meant it was working.   
      
   On July 9, deputies served a search warrant at Gammill's home   
   and say they found bottles labeled "corrosive" and "poison."   
   They also found 25-thousand prescription pills, including   
   morphine, steroids, and Mexican and Russian prescription pills,   
   reports CBS San Francisco.   
      
   Anyone who may have been a victim of Gammill's alleged illegal   
   medical practice is encouraged to contact the Contra Costa   
   County sheriff.
