Criminals are still exploiting shoppers
In the run up to Christmas, Seized! The Border & Customs Uncovered
One of the Seized! gallery’s key themes is anti-smuggling. This includes detective work, crime-fighting, patrolling frontiers and investigation. In uncovering this story, visitors will lear
The fake Christmas gift items on display were discovered by Border Force officers, and each has a unique story of how officers did their job. Found at the basement of Merseyside Maritime Museum, this gallery includes objects such as fake headphones, a mobile phone, as well as designer trainers, toys and perfume.
The 12 fakes of Christmas include:
“The appeal of buying fake goods is the price. They are a lot cheaper and are made to look similar, but what the shoppers don’t realise, is that these cheaper options can be dangerous. When inspecting some of the fake products, Border Force officers found evidence of lice, and that many did not meet EU standard regulations, making them extremely unsafe for use. These are not gifts anyone would want to find under their Christmas tree.
“Naturally, people will be relying on online shopping more than ever this year. We want our visitors to think about the additional risks of buying their gifts online. If the price seems too good to be true, it usually is. Be especially cautious with third-party sellers and use trusted retailers where possible as they are guaranteed to meet UK safety standards. Fake items come with an unseen cost, and unbeknown to the buyer, can result in funding criminal activity.”
