Labubu vs. Lafufu: How to spot a fake doll | FOX 5 News
SUMMARY: Counterfeit Loo Dolls, a popular and trendy item, are increasingly targeted by scammers, according to the Better Business Bureau (BBB). Many consumers have reported receiving fake dolls or never receiving their orders when purchasing from fraudulent websites. To avoid scams, the BBB advises researching sellers thoroughly by reading reviews and checking ratings on bbb.org. Use secure payment methods like credit cards instead of apps like Cash App or Venmo. Shoppers should avoid clicking on the first search result and be cautious of deals that seem too good to be true. Victims can report scams at bbb.org/scamtracker to protect others.
