FAKE CRUMPLERS SOLD BY chinl0verZ circulating in buy/sell

[dannyfoxy]

Well, if the bag works functionally, just continue using it.

Learn from this incident and move on. Just be glad it is a 100 dollar item and not a thousand dollar scam you got into.

Be mindful always, not just buying bags. But in everything like investments offers, business offers, etc...

:thumbsup:use your MBA skills on camera BnS, well done well done

Thanks for clarifying DD123.

I just have to take it as a lesson learnt, the hard way. Anyway, those that bought their 7MDH from BnS, please check your bag too, as I know a few people who already sold off their bag after buying from him.

Hmm... How u know? BTW, if a buyer knows he/she bought a fake crumpler and yet re-sell them to other CSers, dunno what to say about them:dunno: 罪加一等!:sweat:

i think this thread can be closed. frankly i'm posting this on behalf of new clubsnapper whom i got to know like say few mths back.

he's just a secondary school kid who just gotten into photography and started joining clubsnap for outings. those who know me personally probably know who this young boy is.

the bag is useable just that its fake of coz no one wanna get a fake item.

there is no conclusions drawn of coz for sure now. sellers/buyers can both be victims themselves too.

regardless of who the victim is, jus be careful thats all.

cheers.

How did you came up with the conclusion that this thread can be closed?

Chinlover aware of this thread?

I was looking for a 7MDH in BnS before buying from him and saw a couple of people stating that they just bought from Chinl0verz and don't like the color/size. So just double check your set if you have recently bought a 7MDH.

daredevil123 got very good guides to identify fakes. :thumbsup:

Can put the guide as sticky?

 

[jsprtan]

Wah after this we can only buy crumpler with either the original receipt or a Daredevil's certificate of Authenticity. the rest reject.

hahahaha :bsmilie:

I bought from Crumpler store as I paid slightly more for an authenticate 7mdh. BTW, TK also selling crumpler too, price ok.

Not trying to bash you. But I want to share with CSers on how to spot fake bags. It is not very hard after you know the details. First let me start by saying what looks out of place in the pics of the bag you showed.

The plastic bag packaging is a hint but not a dead giveaway. Most bags are packed with the logo on the plastic bag matching the orientation of how the actually bag is to be seen. This means the crumpler logos on the plastic bag should be upright, it is turned 90 degs. Also, the barcode product ID sticker is missing.



Look at the center seam going down the front flap of the bag. Where the seam ends is not exactly the middle point of the flap.



You mentioned it yourself, the logo is slanted. And the logo should be sewn with white thread and not black. This is one of the dead giveaways. And the logo looks a little rough on the top inside(can't be sure due to bad picture).



This is the other obvious giveaway that this is a fake. The Logo stitch on the shoulder pad is very badly done. There is this big Dot thing on the top right corner of the logo with a connecting thread to the "face" of the logo. That is very sloppy embroidery work. This is the dead giveaway. One look at this and I am 100% sure this bag is a fake.



Looks real with the logo and all. Do not get fooled, it costs a few cents to stamp these zipper pullers out. And the original one do not have a logo there.



This is another dead giveaway. "It is not properly sewn" is an understatement. The edges of the tags are sewn very untidily. The wordings are sewed over.



I keep seeing the word factory defect popping up over and over again. Yes, there are some factory defects from time to time. But do know that there are very seldom instances where the factory has defects in multiple places of the bag. If you spot MORE THAN ONE defect, red flags should pop up in your mind already. If you spot 3 or more defects in different areas of a bag, you can conclude it is a fake (and you will be right 99% of the time).

Also, certain things, defects are just not possible. Like the logo stitch on the shoulder pad, you have to understand the process. The stitch is programmed into the machine, which will do stitch after stitch after stitch without room for error. If such low level errors happen, it cannot be a defect from the factory. It just means it is done in another factory (not crumpler's OEM factory - aka fake).

And Clarenze, kudos to your positive attitude. Just be careful and not get ripped off in the future. This bag costs less than USD$10 to make.

By the way, some may question my knowledge in bags manufacture.

Just know that I have been dealing with custom manufacturing of bags/packaging/garments for the last 5+ years in China. And I know my way around, and pricings and personally do a lot of inspections and QCs.

If you have a bag or strap, or packaging or clothing you want to produce and needs a manufacturer, feel free to PM me as well. I will point you in the right direction if I cannot do it myself.

Getting fined in Europe is the least of your the problem. When going through Euro customs, they have the right to take fake items off you and confiscate it on the spot, even if it means it is the shirt, pants or underwear on your body. And they have done so, and make the offender buy clothes on the spot to change into, and to buy luggages on the spot to re-pack, while their fake bags and clothing are confiscated, ON-TOP of a fine levied against them.

So do take note, for those using fake branded items.

Your post count also very fishy.

Seller's ad say

Equipment Type: Bags
Equipment Brand: Crumpler
Equipment Model: 7 Million Dollar Home

Which automatically means it is a real Crumpler. 7 Million Dollar home.

If it is not a real crumpler, seller should specify on the WTS ad CLEARLY.

So question to you... are you the seller in disguise? :bsmilie:

This is not MBA skills la. It is street smarts.

finally the wise one has spoken...

True. I always encourage everyone to double check everything they hear or read from ANY forum. It is just the smart thing to do.

 

[hanqiang1011]

OMG! Thought only branded bags like LV, Gucci, Prada have imitation, dunno Crumpler also have. Report him to Crumpler, believe they will take necessary legal action against the people selling fake/imitation Crumpler.

Ya... A lot of fakes things around... :bigeyes:

 

[nightwolf75]
