[QUOTE="Araratgold, post: 453541, member: 3573"] Pisses me off no end that Alibaba, a globally LISTED Chinese company, is not charged for selling these, and other, fakes ! From Wiki : Alibaba is frequently associated with fraudulent import of counterfeit items: in 2016, the U.S. Office of the Trade Representative added Taobao back onto a list of notorious counterfeit platforms that includes the likes of torrent site The Pirate Bay.[115] AliExpress is even more controversial:[116] despite claiming[117] to provide buyer protection, it frequently refuses to reimburse customers when goods are seized by customs or when sellers who establish fake business entities vanish after their scam.[118] Several hundred lawsuits and class actions have been filed in the US.[119] Alibaba denied wrongdoing and started timid action against counterfeiters with only 2 lawsuits filed as of January 4, 2017,[120] but brands suffering from the counterfeit products continue to blame Alibaba for not doing what it takes to fight the issue. :N: :N: :N: :N: :N: :N: :N: :N: :N: :N: :N: :N: :N: :N: :N: :N: :N: :N: :N: :N: Rick [/QUOTE]
