Prices rose sharply
The situation with firewood is currently the same as with everything that supplies energy or heat: the prices have risen enormously - if you can still get wood at all.
Fraudsters are taking advantage of the shortage: online, they are luring consumers into a trap with offers of firewood at bargain prices.
The Federal Association of Firewood Trade is sounding the alarm: The damage caused by the fake shops is immense - it amounts to millions.
Fraud via fake shops
Fake shops are difficult for consumers to recognize. Because the fraudsters simply copy and use company names, logos or entire websites of real companies. In order not to fall for fake shops, customers should pay attention to particularly cheap offers for firewood. It's best to use local wood dealers.
Recognize fake shops
The consumer advice center's fake shop finder is an additional help: simply enter the internet address and you will get information about whether the shop has ever attracted negative attention.
