Fake Apple AirPods. You see it everywhere and to be very honest, it’s pretty hard to identify them because they all look the same…
Until you actually use it to listen to music and it sounds like a #throwback to the sound quality you’d get from music in the 1900s.

SPF: Be Careful Of People Selling Items Online For Prices “That Sound Too Good To Be True”
The Singapore Police Force reminds the general public to be careful when they see items being sold online for prices that way too good to be true.
See an AirPod online that’s going for $50 or even $100? Don’t buy it.
The most foolproof way to ensure that you’re purchasing authentic and genuine items is to buy it from authorised dealers and shops which you can find here.
Also, be sure to only give your money to the seller after you have received the item.
“Bear in mind that the party that you are dealing with online is a stranger,” said the police. “Whenever possible, only pay upon your receipt of the item.”
