There was this company selling USB sticks from AliExpress but rebranded as "5G bio shield". It's supposed to protect you from 5G waves. They said it had a nano layer quantum holographic catalyzer technology... whatever that means.

Heard about it here

I remember in highschool some kids were selling stickers that you were supposed to put on the back of your phone to protect you from "radiation".

I don't think that scam will ever go away
