News: Fake Websites shut down by police

December 7th, 2009 by Terri Mock

More than 1,200 websites that claim to sell cut-price designer goods have been shut down in the biggest police operation of its kind in the UK.

The 1,219 sites, which advertise brands including Ugg boots, Tiffany jewellery and Links of London, were removed by the Metropolitan Police.

Customers who buy from the sites either receive nothing, counterfeit goods, or have their credit card details stolen.

Criminal gangs in Asia are believed to make millions of pounds from the fraud.
