Professional transport aid "Star Carrier":

The original on the left was manufactured by Wagner System, Lahr, Germany. The counterfeit on the right is distributed by Merkur trgovina, Naklo, Slovenia. Customers are deceived on websites with photos of the original products as well as fake customer reviews and quality seals. The Plagiarius Association explains that gullible bargain hunters often follow recommendations from social networks and click on "Buy" all too quickly and uncritically without carefully checking the imprint, terms of payment, withdrawal options and the general reliability of the provider.
