Researchers from the National University of Singapore analyzed millions of counterfeit purchases by American consumers from more than 24,000 U.S. zip codes on a major cross-border, e-commerce platform. They found that both lower- and higher-income individuals are “significantly more likely” to buy fake luxury items than middle-income consumers, according to a press release by INFORMS on Monday.

Sniffspot caters to dog owners in need of fenced-in lawn for off-the-leash time. JustPark rents your parking space. GetMyBoat is self-explanatory.
