Beware of fake e-shops misusing people’s fear of coronavirus

(Prague, March 13, 2020) First fake e-shops abusing the fear of coronavirus have appeared on the Internet. These are not e-shops in the true sense of the word. "These are anonymous operators who are just collecting personal data, which can subsequently be used for phone marketing, but in the future they might want money from consumers for products that would not even be sent, as it happens in cases of many other fraudulent anonymous websites," says the Director of the Czech Trade Inspection Authority, Mojmír Bezecný.
