The National Retail association has released a warning today to be very wary of buying products on auction sites. Apparently a big bust of an organized crime ring in Florida has revealed that they are selling their stolen goods online.
I often wonder when I am shopping at auction sites, how much of that stuff is stolen. It has to be a ton! Besides supporting organized crime, you should be concerned about storage and freshness of some of these products.
The NRA has identified these brands as ones that are most often stolen. Get thee to Drugstore.com instead!
