The Bauer 5GBioShield, usually shortened to 5GBioShield, is a fraudulent scam protective device which the sellers claims to protect against radiation from 5G mobile networks. The device was invented by clinical pharmacist Jacques Bauer and former scientist Ilija Lakicevic and marketed by Sacha Stone. The product, which was sold for approximately £330 through an affiliate marketing scheme, was found to be composed of a normal USB thumb drive and a sticker. As of April 26, 2022, it is now not possible to purchase the USB key from the official website. British Trading Standards determined that the device was a scam.[1]

Cyber-security experts say the £339 5GBioShield appears to no more than a basic USB drive. 'We consider it to be a scam,' Stephen Knight, operations director for London Trading Standards told the BBC.
