The Fiji Commerce Commission is conducting an investigation against the owner of an online Indian wear business.
CEO Joel Abraham says they are in the final stage of the investigation and they are looking at filing 21 charges.
He says it is alleged that the trader accepted payments without supplying the items as ordered by the consumers.
Abraham says there have been several complaints against the owner and the Commission now has sufficient evidence to prosecute the owner in court.
He says the Commission has accorded the owner the chance to cooperate and attend a caution interview to explain their side.
Abraham says although several requests were sent, the Commission has not received any response and they are proceeding to prosecute.
He says the Commission is concerned about the use of social media by unscrupulous traders who prey on unsuspecting Fijians.
Abraham says this is also a stern warning to those who intend to mislead consumers on social media.
