Faking it: Beware the dangers of buying counterfeit goods
Holiday-makers may be tempted to buy fake designer goods on their trip abroad this summer – but it’s never a good idea, according to the European Consumer Centres Network.
The ECCN warns: “A counterfeit copy is usually cheap but can end up costing you a lot more in the long run. In many countries, the laws against counterfeit products are harsh.
“In some European countries, you can be fined up to €10,000, not only if you purchase a counterfeit product, but also if you bring it in to the country.”
