Research done by the Vietnam Standard and Consumer Association stated about 65% of customers purchase replica goods without knowing they are black market items. Names that are mostly effected most affected by the blacm market are well known brands. These products are made in mass numbers in countries such as China because of the low cost labour. Items can be made very quickly. Twelve times the speed from ten years ago. This allows the products to be available on the streets at the same time as real products. Reasons not to buy these dodgey products? There has been no safety checks; this gives us little information on where these products have been made and what has been added. Reactions can cause your skin permanent damage, permanent damage in some cases.
Who gets the money? Black market operations throughout the world, fact has shown money gos to trafficking and terrorist groups.
Who do you think is responsible? Dodgey manufacturers and legal system in certain countries: A lot of big businesses are not letting the consumer know that these items are being sold through these manufacturers. There is never anything shown on advertisements of ilegal items that are made through the black market. Prison sentences for making fake goods are not strong enough this makes certain countries legal system to blame.
It is hard to tell the difference between the genuine thing and the fake. Replicas are a lot harder to spot. Gone are the times when you went to countries such as Spain and seen goods with typing errors and badly made prints. Operators of these manufactured products are getting more sophisticated. Packets are identical. The detail on the items are exact and hard to tell the difference between.
If you want to save a penny or two with skin care and makeup, beware when you're buying on eBay as some of the products the are counterfeit. Always look at feedback and be really suspicious. Ask the sellers a message and ask were products are purchased from? Find out if it is from a licensed wholesaler.If sellers are buying makeup from China and are selling products such as Mac, Benefit, Bobbi Brown and Nars these are most likely ro be fakes.Any items that have just came on to the market and are being sold 75% cheaper are most likely being sold throuhgh the black market. If a seller is only selling one or two it will proberly be genuine. If someone is selling 100 of the latest product upto 50% cheaper be cautious. Check the item on the manufacturer's website and compare.
