The problem for the original brand is that some people are going to receive the fake bags, believe that they are the real thing, and then leave negative online reviews saying that the product is low-quality. Even if you had a hologram or serial number on the real thing, you can’t expect people receiving the fake to be aware of that or care.

This is what a lot of businesses do. It's the only way to fight back without spending a lot of money to stop Chinese organized crime.

They would probably not even see anything wrong with it morally or legally, as its the fault of the person for falling for such an obvious scam. And they still get a product.

- warkdarrior 6y agoIf reviews are easily marked as fraudulent, all merchants will just follow this route to eliminate negative reviews.
- DiabloD3 6y agoSome places like Amazon and Newegg are moving to models that require you to have purchased the item through them to review it, which addresses your issue. However, as long as reviews are accepted without proof of purchase, what else can companies do? Sue for slander? That's also endless whackamole.
