Beware of buying things from Internet...

My friend in Shanghai bought a machine for making soya bean drinks, and much to her chagrin, she found that it was a fake. I had warned her several times about this, but she feels it is a bargain and continues to purchase from the Internet. However, from time to time, goods that arrive, are either defective or at least not up to her expectations. But to be fair, there are other companies which keep to their word, and deliver what they advertise. But then, the number of stories we hear about fake goods and defective goods that are sold over the Internet are far too many for us to ignore. Fake goods made by the Chinese are far too many to ignore. For example, if people can go to the extent of making artificial chicken eggs, then what other fake goods will they not make. Something has to be done to put a stop to this.
