What is switching tags on clothes?

Switching tags on clothes refers to the act of replacing the original price tag on a garment with a different tag, often with a lower price, to deceive the retailer and pay less for the item. This is considered a form of theft and is illegal. It is typically done by removing the original tag or sticker and replacing it with a similar-looking one, sometimes taken from a cheaper item. Retailers often use security tags or ink tags to prevent this type of fraud. Switching tags can result in criminal charges, fines, and even imprisonment. It is important to pay the legitimate price for items and respect the work of the retailers and manufacturers who create them.
