Surelock the Dangers of Buying Counterfeit Products

There are massive dangers that come with buying things such as fake cigarettes vapes and fake make-up. Even things such as fake sippy cups with pictures of movie characters on them can be dangerous because they use materials that have deemed to be harmful.

There are cases of furniture and clothing posing serious safety hazards because they are flammable and/or give off toxic fumes. The chemicals they contain are the same ones that have been banned through their links to cot death.

Things such as cheap cigarettes are often so cheap because the tobacco has been padded with other materials. In many cases, the tobacco has started to collect in the bottom of the packet because it has not been factory produced – it has been tampered with. The chemicals that are given off when these padding materials are burnt have been known to cause problems ranging from mouth and throat irritations to blindness and increasing the chances of a stroke.

There are times when cheap jewelry has caused serious and life-threatening allergic reactions, and there are many similar cases where cheap and counterfeit makeup and hair dye has causes reactions that scar a person for life and have even led to death. The risks are not worth the small amount of money you save.

Your brand is worth protecting, if you have a counterfeit problem please contact us https://www.surelock.org/contact-us

Qualified Eletronic Countermeasures Engineers scaled 1

Surelock’s Bug Sweeps

Electronic Countermeasures Sweeps (Bug Sweeps) it really worries us the number of companies out there offering countermeasures sweeps with little or no experience. It is so easy to purchase equipment off the internet or from and electrical retailer and then sell this service to unsuspecting clients who think you are the experts.

Of course the electric sweep using ‘Radio Spectrum Analysers’ , Computer based SDR [Software Defined Scanning] Technology, High Gain active Scanning Antennas, Dual hand held GSM and Full Spectrum Near Field Detectors, NLJD –Non Linear Junction Detectors and GSM [Cell phone] activity detectors are very much an important part of any sweep, but for us the most important part is the fingertip search and for this you need a trained electronic engineer who knows what to look for. 

Then at the end of the operation you can genuinely tell the client that there is nothing there or indeed find out that there was, that is what our clients rely on!

Your privacy is worth protecting, if you have a need for this professional service, please contact us https://www.surelock.org/contact-us

Ukraine

Surelock – Don’t get scammed

Fraudsters may use the situation in Ukraine as a cover story to get you to divulge personal details or move money out of your bank account.

Please be cautious. Banks never ask you to move money to a safe account or ask you to share your passcodes or PINs. If in doubt, give your bank a call using the number on the back of your card.

Fraudsters may also use this opportunity to ask for donations to fake relief efforts – please be careful and check you are donating to an accredited legitimate charity.
