#counterfeit

1 post1 participant0 posts today

Rats! I think I’ve fallen foul of a #scam website and will either end up with nothing or something that is #counterfeit and they now have credit card details. Got to the site via an ad on YouTube. Should have done some due diligence. My bad. Won’t mention site in public until situation becomes clear. Site sells outdoor gear.

Over €90m in counterfeit food and drink seized in the EU last year.

Counterfeit products are often associated with luxury goods but food products are the second most seized category of products at the EU's external borders.

EU's Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) said that wines and spirits face one of the highest counterfeiting rates compared to other products, with annual losses in sales of €2.28 billion.

RTÉ · Over €90m in counterfeit food and drink seized in the EU last year.By Aengus Cox

This is so upsetting and gross and I’m so happy that I never purchased this milk thinking that the extra processing made it safer from H5N1. I would be furious right now.

I’m completely content with almond milk. Yes I know it takes a lot of water to grow almonds, but it also takes a lot of water to grow the grass that the cows eat. And they fart all over the place, and they suffer unimaginable fear and pain and suffering.

So unless someone wants to show me some kind of data that show shows that I’m a bad person for choosing almond milk because of the water I’m going to keep on doing that.

(Coconut milk isn’t great in my coffee & the “non dairy creamer” I tried contained casein & I don’t get how they can say it’s non dairy when it contains dairy protein. Ew.)

Friends, here’s the problem with this post:

It’s totally possible that the #Amazon seller is selling the exact same steamer because they purchased it from the same Chinese distributor.

It’s more possible that the #Temu seller is using photos from the branded steamer & you’re getting a counterfit knock off.

Idk that it matters when buying a $25 steamer, but I PROMISE YOU that the “Kylie Cosmetics” products that they have or had on that website are fake. But the photos look fine because they are stolen from Kylie cosmetics. (please don’t buy Kardashian products anyway, but #counterfeit #cosmetics are really dangerous.)

To those saying Temu was just crap anyway, I got $179 steamer for $25! : r/TemuThings reddit.com/r/TemuThings/commen

The problem with the WARNING is that because of PBMs these #counterfeit products get distributed by pharmacies.

I don’t remember if it’s retail pharmacies or facility pharmacies where this kept happening, but there was a PBS Frontline documentary about how PBMs cause counterfeit medication to appear in legitimate supply chains.

So how would any of us know??

Will he?

"Bailout" -- ? --- a bunch of folks who made counterfeit money lost some because more people realised it was counterfeit, so Trump, is going to steal tax monies from health and from air safety and school lunches, from seniors and children, to give useless electricity wasters some your real money. Money that was made by farming, and by building and teaching, and not by wanking graphics cards.

Trump to bailout fake money.

Of course.

Finnish Customs investigates rare counterfeit euro case.

An intercepted package from Italy contained 60,000 euros in 200 euro banknotes, which appeared highly authentic. However, technical analysis led Customs to suspect they were counterfeit.

Sophisticated euro forgeries are increasingly rare, as the currency includes multiple security features that make counterfeiting difficult.

Hey folks. My daughter bought some fake #counterfeit #airpods via #vinted

I wrote to Vinted with evidence that the seller admitted to selling more than 10 sets of counterfeit Airpods on Vinted, but they refused to remove his seller profile.

Does anyone know which IP rights agency or some such would like to know this to action it? Or is it just a mission impossible? I know ebay doesn't give an f about removing sellers that sell counterfeit items, so we had to stop using ebay entirely.

How to know if a USB cable is hiding malicious hacker hardware

you can only unequivocally confirm that a USB-C cable harbors malicious hardware with a 3D CT scanner. Realistically, buy from a reputable seller or look for strange markings, inconsistencies or off logos.

@vfrmedia : I just wrote a toot in Dutch referencing, among other things, the risk of *physical* supply chain attacks.

Not everything necessarily *literally* blows up in your face: hackaday.com/2023/02/01/counte.

I remember many years ago, the PhD I was working with had a PC that would crash a lot. After finding out that heating up the CPU using a hair dryer and removing the CPU cooler, we saw that the surface of the top of the Pentium had been grinded and a new text was added to it. The crashes were simply due to overclocking the CPU to the frequency lied about on its top.

Lowering the clock speed a bit resolved the problems.
