The Californian company Balls of Kryptonite seems to have used domain names such as bestpricebrands.co.uk and bitesizedeals.co.uk to trick people into buying electrical items from them.
Moreover,the people who bought from the company had to pay for unexpected fees,such as the import taxes.And that's not all.According to the Independent,they even had to pay more money if they wanted to return the electronic items.
Therefore the U.S. Federal Trade Commission have taken legal actions against Balls of Kryptonite .
"It is important that companies give consumers clear information, including up most transparency about where they are based to ensure informed purchases online.
Prompted by complaints from UK consumers, this landmark legal action shows how international authorities are working closely and we will continue to share intelligence and take action where consumers are potentially misled.
However it is also vitally important that when buying goods or services online, consumers also take time to investigate the company, check for feedback and contact information and how to get in touch with a company.",said Mike Haley, OFT director of consumer protection.
