As citizens are asked to stay home the rise of online platforms has seen unprecedented traffic and movement, leading to vulnerable shoppers that fall victim to counterfeits. Interpol released a statement warning that people are producing counterfeit COVID19 products including a “Corona Spray” and other COVID branded items. With a public health crisis counterfeiters are known to create false drugs, fake masks, and other medical equipment and attempt to sneak them into a legitimate supply chain. The United States along with other international organizations urge people to be especially alert in these times of hardship and should verify producers before purchasing supplies from e-Commerce sites.
