In case you are being redirected to another website or to other vendors then you should verify the details of the vendor by checking the name of the company, geographical address, email address and contact numbers (if available).<\/em><\/p>\n<p><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 1rem;\"><strong>2. Consider other consumers\u2019 reviews:<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 1rem;\"><em>A critical eye on other consumers reviews is a good option to find reliable genuine product.

Always check the Quality marks:<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/span><em><span style=\"font-size: 1rem;\">Check for the genuine product certificate or the trust mark awarded to the vendors by the authentic manufacturers or the brands themselves. This guarantees that the product is meeting the quality standards and a safe web purchase.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 1rem;\"><strong><br \/>\n4. Know your rights before you buy:<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/span><em><span style=\"font-size: 1rem;\">Genuine sellers provide explicit details about customer rights like an exchange or return policies or the warranty certificates.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/em><span style=\"font-size: 1rem;\"><strong>5. Be aware of the Refurbished Products:<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/span><em><span style=\"font-size: 1rem;\">Compare the features of the product with the new products and consider what you expect from them.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/em><strong style=\"font-size: 1rem;\">6. Look for the Genuine Product Features:<\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 1rem;\"><br \/>\n<em>A genuine product has its hallmark features like brand markings, some specific product appearances, brand logo and tags at peculiar sites.<\/p>\n<p><\/em><\/span><strong style=\"font-size: 1rem;\">7. Be vary of the too good prices:<br \/>\n<\/strong><em><span style=\"font-size: 1rem;\">Discount too good to be true may be an indicator of the counterfeits while e-shopping. Comparing the prices at different sites could also be a savior.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/em><strong style=\"font-size: 1rem;\">8. Secure Payment Modes:<\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 1rem;\"><br \/>\n<em>Complete your purchase following secure payment modes, possibly by credit cards where frauds can be recovered, etc.<br \/>\n<\/em><\/span><strong style=\"font-size: 1rem;\"><br \/>\n9. Professionalism:<\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 1rem;\"><br \/>\n<em>Assess the e-shopping website for the presence of any kind of unprofessional displays like grammatical mistakes, spelling errors, poor quality of the picture or incorrect logo designs.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Apart from following this checklist, one can also check for the blacklisted sellers at the authentic brand\u2019s website to avoid buying counterfeits.<br \/>\nLooking for counterfeit solutions, email us <a href=\"mailto:mktg@lasersec.in\">mktg@lasersec.in<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you aware of how unsafe it could be to buy counterfeits?
