Fake Polish Shops Scam Consumers: UOKiK Investigates
Polish Consumer Protection Agency Investigates Wave of Deceptive Online Stores Warsaw, Poland – A recent surge in online stores falsely presenting themselves as Polish businesses has prompted an investigation by the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection (UOKiK). These stores, heavily advertised on social media platforms like Instagram and Facebook, appeal to consumers' sense of patriotism and support for local businesses. However, a journalist, Paulina Gorska, uncovered a pattern of deception. "These stores use AI-generated images of models and sell products identical to those found on Chinese platforms like Temu and AliExpress," explains Gorska in a viral video. "The shipping takes up to two weeks, completely contradicting their claims of being Polish businesses." Gorska's investigation prompted her to file a formal complaint with the UOKiK. The UOKiK has confirmed receipt of the complaint and is currently investigating the matter. The agency's spokesperson stated, "We take such allegations seriously and are committed to protecting consumers from fraudulent practices." The investigation will focus on determining whether these stores are violating consumer protection laws. This case highlights the growing problem of deceptive online marketing and the importance of consumer vigilance. The UOKiK's investigation serves as a reminder to carefully verify the legitimacy of online stores before making purchases.
