Online Fake Devices

Doesn't really need mentioning, as everyone should know. But unfortunately people do still roll the dice and purchase from these sites.

The fact Samsung has come out and warned about it means it's becoming quite the industry making fakes.

Remember its cheap for a reason.

I will always stick to official retailers

I watched something about this last week as well. Not sure if it's allowed to disclose shops names, but the risk of buying something of poor quality is very real. Customers have to be cautious when purchasing such products. Luckily most are returnable and refundable.

Yes need to be careful with somewhat dubious sites and online marketplaces. The old adeage "if it sound too good to be true it probably is "

some general advice on fake products here https://www.google.com/search?q=adeage+if+it+is+too+good+to+be+true&rlz=1C1VDKB_enGB1120GB1120&oq=adeage+if+it+is+too+good+to+be+true&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOTIJCAEQIRgKGKABMgkIAhAhGAoYoAEyCQgDECEYChigATIHCAQQIRiPAtIBCDkxMzlqMGo3qAIAsAIA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#:~:text=The%20old%20adage%2C-,%27If%20it%20sounds%20too%20good%20to%20be%20true%2C%20it%20probably%20is,-%27%20isn%27t%20always%20correct.%20In%20fact%2C%20the%20suspicion%2C%20cynicism%2C%20and%20doubt

Tiktock is full of these types of phones.

The sellers are careful not to name them as Samsung phone's.

Sadly people will look for a bargain and assume if it is on the Web or Facebook etc, it must be genuine.

You wonder where law enforcement is.....
What are the police or action fraud doing to stamp these out?
