Yeah, nothing suspicious there, right? Obviously, they buy these EAS tags, slap their own label on them (at a total cost of less than $1, most likely) and sell these things to gullible sheeple. While there are lots of these useless things out there, this is a particularly egregious example because there is not even the pretense of designing an original product; it's just out-and-out fraud. I urge everyone to report these shysters.
