The FH has recently put a form on line enabling web surfers all over the world to report to it any site, advertisement or other information with a bearing on counterfeit watches. From now on, everyone can therefore take part in the fight against counterfeiting by notifying any unlawful content to the FH using the form which can be found at the address www.fhs.ch/en/reportabuse.php. This will enable the Internet unit to acquire a further source of information to combat counterfeit products sold on the web. If the reported cases can be accessed on the web, the necessary measures to have these unlawful offers removed will be taken immediately.
Through this action and while seeking their help, the FH wishes to make consumers aware of the issue of counterfeit articles sold on the Internet. A few months ago, a lure site was launched (www.replicaswisswatch.com) as a virtual barrier reminding potential future purchasers that their action is illegal.
