In practice of the BSA experts, we see a growing trend in performing various forms of “attack” on entrepreneurs.

In addition to the above, a very common and characteristic, and at the same dangerous form of attack on the company with far-reaching consequences, is the desire of causing damage to the reputation (brand) of the company with attempts to commit the offense to the detriment of our Client:

Examples:

1. “finding” by Consumers insects, parasites, etc.  in packaging or inside food products of our Customers,
2. “finding” in the products of our Customers harmful substances, eg. acid or pathogenic bacteria in a bottle of water, finding hazardous components (glass, metal) in food products,
3. assigning products of our Customers to false defects or features that prevent the use of these products or that may endanger the damage to health,
4. provoking health effects through the bad use of the products of our Customers, although they have all the required certificates, eg. applying a cream to the skin of the face subcutaneously, causing burns and skin allergies allegedly caused by the use of the product, etc.
    

As follows from the experience of the BSA experts the above mentioned events aim at:

1. extorting indemnity or compensation or gratification  from Customer in the form of
   a certain quantity of products of our Customers
2. evoking negative influence on the perception of the Customer brand often caused by activities in conditions of unfair competition,
3. causing negative effects by removing a particular batch of goods  of the Customer from circulation,
4. revenge of unspecified background,
5. act of unfair competition for any other purpose,
6. less often – extortion of the ransom.
