A rise in fraudulent and scam opportunities has emerged as a new epidemic against that everyone must be alerted. As a global leader in PPE manufacturing and sales, Cranberry’s number one priority is to ensure the safety of its products. Therefore, we at Cranberry remind everyone that we do not authorize the use of its trademark to and any third-party manufacturing facility, nor do we authorize any oversea distributors for sales or allocation to the United States. Only official distributors in the US have direct authorization to sell Cranberry products.

 

1. Third Party Brokers

Cranberry does not use any third-party brokers, nor do we appoint any agent or representative to deal with securing allotments. Do not work with any individuals, agents, or companies claiming to represent Cranberry or have access to Cranberry products that are not authorized from our list of US distributors.

All export sales of Cranberry gloves and masks are handled directly by Cranberry. All international Cranberry distributors are only allowed to sell Cranberry products within their designated country or region.

 

2. Ghost Company

Whether you have been approached from a great sales pitch from a legitimate website such as LinkedIn, or a thematic business site, chances are it’s too good to be true. Result? Fraudulent offers from ghost businesses that have no history and never existed before the pandemic.

Always carry out due diligence on the background of the seller/company, obtain proof of product and background business history.

 

3. Phantom Inventory & Potential Fake Products

It is not uncommon for fraudsters to claim they can procure 1 million to over 1 trillion boxes of products available. Beware of astronomical numbers presented to you, normally this is a red flag that none of the quantity is real.

There are also fake and unofficial products coming into the market that may use our Cranberry brand name and logo. These products are made and distributed without the knowledge and consent of Cranberry.

If you suspect a product you received is fake, please do not hesitate to contact us and send pictures to:
US: info@cranberryusa.com

 

4. Alphabet Dupe

NCNDA, SPA, LOI, LC, IPO, BCL, ICPO, POF, OTG, …..LOL!!!

Beware of the alphabet soup of abbreviations, this is always the first sign of fraud. Documentations such as bank confirmation letters, attorney letters confirming business entity, letters of credit, all can be fake and used to solicit information from you. Once provided, your personal information will then be used or sold for more fraudulent opportunities.
