Black Friday 2022 is here, and you may have presents to buy for Christmas - or a treat or two for yourself if you've spotted a bargain. However, shoppers are being warned not to fall foul of scammers when hunting for the best deals around.
A recent survey commissioned by the jewellery brand Pandora has shown that 17 percent of Brits have been duped into parting with their money for fake jewellery purchases, and a whopping 60 percent of 16-17 year-olds have been caught out by counterfeits.
And 44 percent of respondents said they've seen adverts on social media for what they suspect are fake products - even if they didn't purchase the product. All 16- to 24-year-olds surveyed said they had seen fake products advertised on social media.
