[QUOTE="mbasko, post: 249548, member: 4485"] Where are these counterfeit detection websites? It would be good to have link/s here for members. If they don't mention the font issue then they've dropped the ball - most I see have not only the incorrect font but can also contain spelling mistakes on labelling. That has been a constant with them for years & I still see it now. Buyer beware!! P.s Yes the serial numbers can & do get duplicated. That's why my link above has a checklist to VERIFY ALL DETAILS. Another good point Nuggetbuster! I was looking at a GPX4500 once & the serial number didn't match the records Minelab had. It was a fake with a correct serial number but the seller couldn't know where the machine with that serial number was sold or when. You need to check everything. If any one detail sets off alarm bells, keep cash in pocket & walk away. [/QUOTE]
