Ban overseas companies posing as UK companies & offering misleading products.
I think there are increasing numbers of companies posing as UK based companies which are in fact based overseas. I think this should not be allowed and there needs to be an investigation into this malpractice and it needs to be banned. I think people are being scammed out of their hard earned money.
I have fallen victim on several times this year to believing I was buying high quality products from UK companies when in fact they were overseas. In many cases products have not arrived or have been poor quality. I believe it is fine to order from overseas if you know who the overseas company is and shipping process described accurately but when these companies deliberately shown on their website that they are UK based, I think this is fraudulent and action needs to be taken.
If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
