Pandora warns of fake websites this Black Friday after mother scammed of her savings

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.
