When purchasing online, be aware of what website you are on. Have you shopped there before, or do even recognize the site?

Sometimes vendors will lead you to a strange and potentially dangerous location to purchase counterfeit goods. These vendors are conducting illegal operations. Have your guard up and remember you can have a much safer transaction at a department store. Ask yourself if the price is worth the poor construction and dangerous environment. You never know, when you are at markets outside department stores, if they’re actually counterfeit. Ask questions when you see a price too good to be true. You can detect a lot from the seller's body language. If you suspect he’s lying, he probably is. Use your best judgement. It is not fair to assume all open air markets sell counterfeit goods. If you plan to shop abroad, review travel advisories from the Department of State before going to a location. They will have information of the scene of counterfeit sellers in that location.
