COUNTERFEIT GOODS ARE FLOODING ON THE INTERNET - BE CAREFUL WHEN BUYING AND SELLING GOODS ONLINE

1. Social Network Explosion - Counterfeit Goods Also "Upgrade"

In recent years, social networks, especially Tiktok, have become a new shopping destination for millions of Vietnamese people. From cosmetics, functional foods, household appliances to construction equipment, everything can be reviewed and trended in just a few minutes, with attractive promises such as: "super cheap price", "excellent quality", "popular in Japan, Korea",...

However, it is worrying that many products being sold on these platforms are counterfeit, fake or poor quality. The Market Management Department, the General Department of Customs and many other authorities have continuously handled violations related to goods of unknown origin, impersonating famous brands, or using personal images to deceive consumers.

From May 15 to June 15, 2025, the Market Management force nationwide inspected 3,891 cases, detected and handled 3,114 violations with a total fine of more than 63 billion VND. In particular, many famous people were fined for advertising products of unknown origin.

Therefore, when choosing to buy and sell goods online, you need to find a reputable source of goods with clear origin and a long-standing reputable brand to avoid the consequences of using fake, poor quality products.

2. The "Delicious - Nutritious - Cheap" Psychology Is Leading Consumers to Mistakes

We live in an era where trust is placed on views, fake comments or celebrity tiktoker reviews instead of real evidence. It is not difficult to come across videos reviewing waterproofing products with just a few quick cleaning and application steps, promising to waterproof the house for life for only a few hundred thousand dong.

But no one mentioned the consequences:

- Paint peels and cracks after just a few months.

- Leaks on the wall cause mold and damage to furniture.

- Had to demolish and repair because of wrong construction materials and techniques.

3. New Problem: “Cheap Waterproofing” on TikTok

Have you ever seen videos like this?

- Self-waterproofing roof with glue in 5 minutes.

- Advanced technology waterproof paint only 69k.

They attract hundreds of thousands of views, positive comments, and a series of orders in a day. But what few people realize is: that is not the right way to waterproof:

- No construction survey.

- No analysis of the cause of seepage.

- Not using the correct materials according to the system.

- No warranty.

4. The Truth Behind “Super Economical Waterproofing” Packages

We have met many customers who have fallen into this trap when:

- Bought waterproofing material online, tried it according to the instructions, but in less than 3 months, the old leak returned and was even worse.

- Hire an unprofessional construction team, receive referrals online, work quickly, but have no systematic waterproofing process, no invoice or warranty.

- Bought "expired" waterproof glue, non-standard packaging, fake labels, and then the wall peeled off and white mold spread.

5. Waterproofing is a Professional Technique, Not Just a “Try It Out”

Waterproofing is a step directly related to the sustainability and value of the project. If done incorrectly or not up to standard, the consequences will be:

- The building is deteriorating rapidly.

- Repair costs are many times higher than the initial construction costs.

- Affects the safety and health of family members, especially children and the elderly (mold, bacteria, allergies,...).

A reputable waterproofing unit needs to have:

- Carefully survey the actual construction site.

- Consulting on construction systems suitable for each area: roof, terrace, toilet, pipe collar,...

- Genuine materials, with labels and clear origin.

- Surface treatment techniques, creating standard primer and finishing coat.

- Detailed quote, clear contract, full warranty.

Social media helps you access information quickly, but because it is fast, easy and multi-dimensional, you need to be more alert. For technical items such as waterproofing, let professional and reputable units help you do it right from the start. Don't let a few "super fast waterproofing" videos on TikTok cost you tens of millions of dong in future construction repairs.
