Counterfeiters are willing to steal anything from cash and tech products to gas, oil and cigarettes that consumers are mistakenly purchasing under the misconception of receiving real products.
Investigators in China are looking into a counterfeit Apple store that closely mimics a legitimate Apple store in other parts of the world.
