Jeweler Identifies Fake Gold Online Sale

Julia Rieberg from the Hamburg Consumer Advice Center warns against fraudulent online shops using fake social media profiles.

Many of these fraudulent operations appear to originate from China. Rieberg advises avoiding any site that lacks a proper imprint or lists a Chinese address.
