The fraud continues. Albeit with a little more salad dressing than most.

Anything that "averages" temperatures is a fraud.

Let's all sing in unison...A FRAUD, A FRAUD, A FRAUD!!!

"The country of origin sticker can be easily applied and removed."

Is this more a reflection on how dumb the buyers are? So easily fooled, beguiled that they believe blindly? Seriously, the seller takes such little action to hide the deception because they feel the buyer is just that easy?

It's like people believing someone that would say, "The virus is just gonna disappear. One day - like a miracle - it will disappear."

This company is now running ads on Instagram claiming to detect temperatures on the backs of people's heads:

Update: Certify has pulled this product from the market after an IPVM peer reviewed study, Washington Post report, and an FDA warning letter to Certify.

Certify falsely claimed to WaPo that multi-person scanning was not activated for any customers:

Neisser said the company is “in the process of removing any multi-scanning functionalities from the SnapXT Pro HID.” She acknowledged those features are “built into the software” but said they are “not a core part of the product” and have “not been activated for any customers up to this point.”

We know this is untrue because we bought one of their products and was able to use and include it in our test that we released 4 months ago:
