Beware the Fairtrade fraudsters: Shoppers warned to watch out for produce with fake labels as criminals attempt to cash in on premiums on ‘ethical’ goods
Middle class shoppers are being targeted by fraudsters selling fake organic and Fairtrade goods, according to new research.
The numbers of people willing to pay a premium price for what they believe is an ‘ethical’ product has soared in recent years.
Now a new report has found that criminal gangs are able to make ‘enormous profits’ by targeting well-meaning shoppers who are happy to pay more to ensure that the people producing their goods are not exploited.
