Replica Handbags Sites Are Not Intimidated by Scare Tactics of Louis Vuitton and Chanel

Eva Knox

Recently Louis Vuitton and especially Chanel have been working really hard to try to eliminate the fake bag business online. Ha good luck! Okay, Okay I get it. Chanel and Louis Vuitton are just trying to protect their own name. But really what harm are we doing? Firstly, the price is completely different which means the market is completely different. And anyway don’t they make enough money ripping of the rich and famous? If they didn’t have a 2000% mark up on all their merchandise then we wouldn’t be forced to buy fakes.

For those of you not up to date on the new tactic, I’ll explain… Chanel has petitioned the U.S. courts to revoke the domains of sites which sell fake bag. So what that means is web addresses that used to sell fake bag now have intimidating warnings about lawsuits against the owners. It’s all intended to scare you out of buying fake bag.

Here is an excerpt from the Chanel claim with responses from me in italics….

WHY SHOULD I CARE THAT I AM BUYING A COUNTERFEIT ITEM? NO ONE IS BEING HURT!
• Counterfeiters sell poor quality products. –Once upon a time this was true but things have changed. You can now get superior quality fake for a small fraction of the price of the real thing.
• Counterfeiters often engage in other unlawful conduct, such as identity theft and failing to deliver goods that were paid for. It’s true there are some fraudulent sites claiming to sell fake bag but who are actually just out to rip you off. It is important that you stay informed and make sure you are buying from a legitimate vendor.
• Counterfeiters may be part of organized crime networks or terrorist groups, with profits often used to support their activities. I have extensive experience in this arena and can say without a doubt that this is wholly untrue. First of all fake bag are made in China NOT Saudi Arabia. Chinese factory owners have no connection to terrorism. Although technically fake goods are illegal in China, in practice their production is encouraged. Buying fake in China is not as dirty a business as you would think. There are giant open markets for fake bag just like there are for electronics, toys, or cloths.
• Counterfeiters do not pay taxes, leading to millions of dollars in lost revenues that would otherwise go to cities and states from the sale of legitimate goods. Although it is probably true that some fake site owners do not pay income taxes on all revenue, the factory owners in China do. Furthermore, for anyone who has ever been slapped with customs fee can attest, we do pay taxes just like anyone else buying overseas.

I for one am not intimidated by Chanel and Louis Vuitton’s scare tactics. Neither are the fake site owners who are opening up shop somewhere else. After all what is a domain? Just a name…like any other name can be changed. The problem for us is that it is hard to know where they have moved to… and even harder to know if someone stole their name. I thought about this with the debate over highfake.com and highfakemall.com. I mean it seems logical to me that they are the same company. They seem to have the same design and really the names are strikingly similar but there are those that are insistent that they are different companies. I, for one d,on’t know what to think. It makes it all the more critical that we stick together and share information regularly. Let’s save all our sisters from the scammers!

A few notes to keep in mind in light of this new development. Firstly the date of domain registration no longer correctly reflects the age of a fake bag company. Most of the successful and reliable vendors online recently lost their domains so some of the best companies now have new domains. Also, you might consider looking for sites that have a contact email that does not include their domain name. This suggests not only that they have experience with this issue, but also that they will be available to you no matter what happens to their domain.
