Last-Minute Shoppers: Avoid Counterfeit Scams By Working With an Authorized Retailer

As we come down to the wire on holiday shopping days left in the season, there is always a temptation to rush and do some purchasing in places you may not necessarily be familiar with, including online. However, according to The Counterfeit Report, this is the season when shoppers are moving too quickly and not paying close enough attention — leaving the door wide open to those who trade in counterfeit merchandise.



According to The Counterfeit Report, a counterfeit awareness and consumer advocate, more than 90% of holiday shoppers plan to go online to buy gifts at bargain prices.

"Consider the economic and personal risk of buying counterfeit goods, and be very skeptical of any online product, unless purchased from authorized retailers," advises The Counterfeit Report.

Consumers are easily deceived and unknowingly purchase counterfeit products that can go undetected until after the holidays when the product fails to continue working or is returned. Last year alone, counterfeiting became a $1.7 trillion global criminal enterprise.

While consumers can compare the authentic items and potential counterfeit counterparts on The Counterfeit Report's website, if you are shopping for watches or jewelry, we suggest you shop with a jeweler you trust.

Protect your hard-earned dollars by following these tips from The Counterfeit Report:
• Buy jewelry and watches only from an authorized retailer and, if possible, make the purchase in the store, with face-to-face interaction.
• If you buy online, look for sellers with clear return policies and good ratings.
• Always buy with a credit card, and never with cash, PayPal withdrawals or wire transfers.
• Always retain the disputed product; it is your only proof of receiving a counterfeit.
• If a refund is denied; notify your credit card company that you have retained the counterfeit product and are disputing the charge.

We know we can provide a wonderful, fully-backed shopping experience when it comes to watches and jewelry. Stop in any time, even last minute, and shop with confidence.
