How can I identify counterfeit products when shopping online, and what are the risks of purchasing them?
One way to identify counterfeit products when shopping online is to look for inconsistencies in the branding, packaging, and prices of the product. Check for spelling errors, poor quality images, and unusually low prices compared to reputable retailers. Be cautious of unknown or unreliable websites, and always read reviews and ratings from other customers. Risks of purchasing counterfeit products include receiving poor quality or defective items, potential health hazards especially with items like cosmetics or electronics, lack of warranties or customer support, and supporting illegal activities.
