Caveat emptor! The Wall Street Journal MarketWatch covers a warning from anti-counterfeiting security firm OpSec that unscrupulous Chinese manufacturers are gearing up to fool unwary consumers with too-good-to-be-true listings for “name brand” e-reader and tablet products that turn out to look and work nothing like the real things.
OpSec advises customers to know what realistic prices are for the real product, research what it looks like so they can tell the difference, check to make sure the model number given is real, and make sure there’s a warranty before buying. Poor spelling and grammar in auction listings can be another good giveaway.
