Correct but comma not needed.

What does “some” mean?

If you mean “all”, better say “beware of buying products online”.

If you mean “specific”, better say “beware of buying certain products online”.

“Some” is ambiguous here.

The sentence is understandable, but it could be improved for clarity and correctness. Like this: You should be cautious about buying certain products online, as you might encounter counterfeits.
