An extensive investigation has uncovered a massive fraudulent operation involving a network of fake online stores based in China. These stores, purporting to sell designer brands, have successfully deceived approximately 850,000 individuals across Europe and the United States. Victims were tricked into providing their credit card details and personal information. Concurrently, David Beckham has initiated a $1.2 billion lawsuit against 500 sellers who allegedly profited from selling counterfeit versions of his branded products, such as sunglasses and perfumes, on similar platforms.
