This days its hard to know whats authentic in pretty much everything you own since its fast and quick life era where many are aiming at surviving by all means including defrauding of clients hard earned money with fake businesses and identities.
In the latest scam,the Anti Counterfeit Agency (ACA) on Friday seized fake goods valued at an estimated Sh1.5 million at a Karen mall.
The fragrances and cosmetic products were found at a Madora Kenya store where 2 suspects were nabbed.

In January, a customer complained that he was sold a fake Sh40,000 perfume.The 100ML fragrance, he told a blog, was filled with water.
He took up the matter with the store management only to be kicked out and his concerns left unaddressed.
On Tuesday, the agency as well arrested five suspects and confiscated Ksh8 million worth of fake mobile phones during a raid along Luthuli Avenue.
According to the authorities, other accessories including chargers, phone covers, batteries and earphones were also confiscated.
