Tired of Fake Products Online in Bangladesh? Here's What You Need to Know (And How We're Changing the Game)

Let’s face it — shopping online in Bangladesh can be frustrating. Even after paying premium prices, many customers end up receiving counterfeit, duplicated, or sub-par products. It's a common problem that raises serious concerns like:

• How do I know if an online store is real or a scam?

• Will I actually get what I paid for?

• Are these products even genuine?

• Or did I just lose my money?

If you’ve ever asked yourself these questions, you’re not alone. At Samirahan, we understand the challenges Bangladeshi consumers face. That's why we created this community — to help shoppers like you avoid fake products and unreliable sellers, and to offer a trusted alternative through our store.

Here are some critical tips to protect yourself while shopping online:

1. Look for contact details: A trustworthy online store will clearly show their phone number and physical address in the Footer, About Us, or Contact Us sections.

2. Verify their presence: Use Google Maps to check the business location and apps like Truecaller to verify the phone number.

3. Check for DBID / Trade License info: According to Bangladesh’s DBID Guidelines 2022, online businesses must show their Trade License, VAT/BIN or DBID number on the site — usually in the footer.

4. Read policies carefully: Make sure the site’s Terms & Conditions, Return Policy, and Privacy Policy are clearly stated.

5. Inspect product pages: Details matter. Look for full product descriptions, ingredients, usage, warnings, and photos. A real seller won’t hide important info.

6. Rely on VERIFIED reviews only: Facebook reviews can be fake. Look for site-integrated reviews backed by certified third-party apps like Judge.me.

7. Pay smart: Online payment via card or bKash is actually safer than Cash on Delivery because it leaves a digital trail. COD may seem safe, but it’s harder to claim refunds.

8. Get order confirmation: Always check for an order number, email receipt, or invoice after you complete a purchase.
