Dozens of fake stores scamming online shoppers taken down
The Commerce Commission has taken down close to two dozen fake stores scamming online shoppers. The stores advertise online and often carefully cultivate the impression they're real local independent botiques or stores, when really they dont exist in the real world. Often, if the goods ever arrive they're cheap knock offs, worth a fraction of what's been paid. Commerce Comission Principal Compliance Advisor, Grant McIntosh spoke to Lisa Owen.
