The Cost Of Counterfeits - And How To Avoid Them

Counterfeit electronics are a huge problem. You can buy a counterfeit version of the latest smartphone for 90% less than what the real deal would cost you, and unless you know what you are looking for you almost wouldn’t know the difference. So what’s the big deal, anyway?

Amazon fights back over counterfeits on its platforms

Amazon has responded to a request to add several of its sites to the US Trade Representatives’ ‘notorious markets’ list by pointing to its new anti-counterfeit tools – and a reluctance by some brands to use them.
