Online Sellers of Fake and Unregulated Products in the Philippines Targeted by Police

If you have been purchasing a lot of products online here in the Philippines, was there a time when a seller cheated you or scammed you over a transaction? A lot of online sellers have been involved in the distribution of fake and unregulated products, and the Philippine National Police (PNP) is actively searching for them, according to a news report by the Manila Bulletin.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the news report of the Manila Bulletin. Some parts in boldface…

The Philippine National Police has strengthened its intelligence and enforcement efforts against online sellers and networks involved in the distribution of fake and unregulated products that may endanger consumers.

PNP chief Gen. Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr. said they are now working with the Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines (IPOPHL), Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), and other partner agencies to identify those behind the illegal trade and build cases for prosecution.

“The PNP backs efforts to strengthen the crackdown against counterfeit goods online. We will continue to coordinate with our partner agencies to identify those behind the illegal trade and ensure that appropriate charges are filed,” Nartatez said.

Nartatez ‘statement was issued amid a call from consumer advocacy group Malayang Konsyumer for an immediate and sustained government crackdown on counterfeit products being sold through e-commerce platforms.

The group warned that fake medicines, vitamins, health supplements and beauty products may contain toxic chemicals, while counterfeit clothing, footwear, toys and perfumes as products that could expose consumers to hidden health risks.

It also raised concerns over substandard electronics that may cause fires or electrocution and fake household adhesives, sealants and building materials that may pose structural and health hazards.

“We will not allow online platforms to become a safe haven for counterfeiters. The PNP will strengthen intelligence gathering and enforcement operations against individuals and networks engaged in the sale and distribution of fake and unregulated products,” Nartatez said.

“Counterfeit goods are not only an intellectual property concern. They are also health and safety matters in most cases that need immediate and aggressive law enforcement response,” he added.

The PNP’s planned action will build on its existing campaign against smuggling and other economic crimes.

From January to June 2026, police conducted 8,986 anti-smuggling operations, resulting in the arrest of 2,560 individuals and the seizure of about P8.6 billion worth of smuggled cigarettes and equipment.

The campaign has also extended to other illegal goods as the PNP confiscated P628 million worth of smuggled goods, counterfeit products, and other illegal articles in nationwide operations in July.

Let me end this post by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this recent development? Has any online seller released to you a counterfeit product? Do you believe that online shopping platforms like Shopee and Lazada have a lot of scammers and abusive online sellers?

Der beste deutsche Film von Ken Loach stammt in Wirklichkeit von Jan Fehse. Zwei Jahre nach „Sorry We Missed You“ (2019, Blog) hat der Münchener die Geschichte vom Paketzusteller, der von der E-Commerce-Logistik-Maschine am Ende fast aufgefressen wird, erstaunlich präzise in’s Deutsche übersetzt. Ohne Bjarne Mädel wäre es vielleicht nur ein Remake geworden. Doch weil der Mann längst sein eigenes Genre bespielt, wurde es auch zu seinem ganz eigenen Film. (ARD, Wh.)

#Vorsicht beim #Onlineshopping, #chinesischer #Cyberscam und Fazit vom #Digitalgipfel mit Frederike Kaltheuner - #TheyTalkTech – mit Eckert und Wolfangel - #Podcast:

Passend zur nahenden Black Week und zum Black Friday stößt Svea beim Online-Shopping auf einen Shop, der auf den ersten Blick seriös wirkt: deutsche Adresse, perfekte Texte, alles sauber. Doch im Hintergrund passt nichts zusammen und Svea fällt rein, auf ein schlechtes Produkt ohne Rücksendemöglichkeit.
