Some unscrupulous distributors even print up counterfeit certificates of guarantee emulating the factory ones. Beware when the price quoted for a given product is much less than you expected to pay. They are counterfeit. Make no mistake about it. Be prudent in ordering products by mail-order, from newspaper ads and specialized direct mail campaigns.
Counterfeiters often use such means to sell their goods.
Keep in mind that the aim of counterfeiters is not to reproduce the real product in terms of quality. They merely want to capitalize on the image of the brand. Examine the goods, the labels and the packaging of items you're buying, particularly in a store you don't know. Look for such signs of shoddy workmanship as incorrect colors, broken letters, smears, sloppy wrapping, loosely sewn seams, missing buttons and inferior fabrics. Advise your friends and relatives to avoid buying counterfeit goods.
