US man arrested for selling ‘refurbished’ internet device to school hospital – Hong Kong unwire.hk

There are many fake products on the Internet that are fake and genuine. In addition to ordinary consumers, institutions and enterprises will also suffer. Recently, a man in the United States was accused of selling a decrepit network device from China that claimed to be brand new to hospitals, schools and even the military.

According to sources, Onur Aksoy, a 38-year-old man living in Miami, sold counterfeit Internet devices through at least 19 of his companies and more than 25 online stores on Amazon and eBay. These devices are all second-hand and old entry-level Cisco products imported from China, and then repackaged in China as regular new high-end products. The internal software has been completely tampered with to avoid license inspection. The suspects then imported the fakes through the UK and sold them to customers such as hospitals, schools, government agencies and the military.

Of course, these devices do not work properly, and can even disrupt network and system operations, often requiring tens of thousands of dollars to repair. According to law enforcement agencies, this fraud case has started since 2014. The suspects and Chinese accomplices evaded scrutiny by forging documents and packaging. Although Cisco had requested to stop the sale, they were all rejected, and were only recently swept up by the police. . He faces one count of conspiracy to sell counterfeit goods and to commit mail and wire fraud; three counts of mail fraud, four counts of wire fraud and three counts of trafficking in counterfeit goods.
