Copy Cats

Fake Websites - A Risky Business!

Buying from a fake website is a high risk, ZERO reward kind of thing. You can be sure that the items on these website’s to be poor quality and completely different to what you ordered, with way longer shipping waits and no return or refund options either - that is, if you even receive those items in the first place. And these aren't even the worst things that can happen when you purchase from a fake website.

Your data may fall into unsafe hands, including your banking details, where it can be misused or sold on the dark web. In addition, counterfeit items can be linked to organised crime - and can be produced by the trafficking and exploitation of people, through migrant smuggling and modern slavery, and linked to corruption and money laundering.

Counterfeiters will also not take into account the environmental issues of their production. Possible use of toxic dyes, chemicals disposed of unlawfully and unregulated air pollution, and unnecessary mass production are just a few examples of how counterfeiting can contribute to environmental pollution. 

So remember - avoid the fakes, and keep it real. Just by doing that, you're doing your bit.
