Knockoff products abound online
Instead of just avoiding the guy on the corner,[url=http://www.sport.fr/sponsoring/uggpascher.html]ugg hommes[/url], it's now a game of being really sure of who you buy from online. Some sites selling fakes are so bad they're laughable. But, these days, it isn't all that hard to hijack real product images and maybe even find someone who can write in English well enough to make the site seem legit.
Just ask Sheila Perrault of Tyngsborough. While the web address alone might make some suspicious, the photos on the site are authentic and the information seemed credible. Nothing really tips you off that the site is in China.
"They're one of hundreds of knockoff websites out of China," said Paula Fleming, vice president of the Better Business Bureau serving Eastern Massachusetts, Maine, Rhode Island and Vermont. "Whether it's shoes, jerseys, etc., these sites typically do deliver the products, however they lack the expected quality the consumers hope for."
You might get seconds, but usually you just get a cheap imitation. Perrault tried to get her money back and received an email explaining that they'll give back 30 percent of the purchase price if she kept the shoes or "if you return the products, the shipping cost is too high, and the procedure will take a long time. Pls thinking it over."
Perrault wants the site shut down. An email to the site went unanswered.
Other than hoping you can get your credit card company to reverse the transaction, there's little a US consumer can do if they've been taken by a foreign site. It's best to avoid those street corners altogether.
