Look out for deals that are
too good to be true.
Not all fakes sell at lower prices than their genuine counterpart, but an unreal bargain is one of the surest signs of an un-real product.
This products prints on (almost) every parts of it "original" so beware of this.

Beware products that seem
flimsy or are obviously
poorly made.
Quality control is often absent in counterfeiting operations, so you may be able to spot a
counterfeit simply based on
its workmanship. Of course,
even if it isn't a counterfeit,
do you really want a poorly-
made product?


Inspect the packaging
carefully.
Reputable
businesses typically take
great care in packaging their
products. Beware flimsy
packaging, packaging with
substandard printing or
running colors, or packages
that appear to have been
opened. In addition, take a
moment to actually read the
package.
Spelling or grammatical
errors are common on
the packaging for
counterfeit goods. For
example, "NOKIA" as "NOKLA"
and "Association" as "Assoxiation".

Check for some vital information prints
Most product
labels and boxes these
days have a whole host
of information printed on
them, from bar codes to
trademark and patent
information to recycling
symbols.
Counterfeiters
often don't want to
spend the time to
reproduce every detail,
so they'll likely leave
some of this stuff off.
Look for manufacturer
contact information. Most
reputable companies will
provide a phone number
or at least an address at
which consumers can call
them.


Look for certification.
Drug or food products in NIGERIA has a label (NAFDAC) number so check for it on such product.

Make sure everything that
should be there is there.
Counterfeit products often
don't include supplementary
materials such an owner's
manual or a product
registration card. Sometimes
they don't even include all
the parts that should come
with the product, or some
parts will be from a different
manufacturer.

Check the manufacturer's
website.
Many large
companies now have
information on their
websites to alert customers
to possible counterfeit
products and to help them
detect fakes.

Every time PROMO
Some people are used to buying this kinda of product (AWUUF) "Buy 1 Take 1". Stop buying this kinda product or before you buy this kinda product first of all think of it.

¤¤¤TIP¤¤¤
China is the source of most
counterfeit products. Of
course many, many
legitimately produced
products are also made in
China, but a "Made in China"
sticker on an already
suspicious product is a red
flag. You should also be
suspicious if no country of
origin is listed on either the
packaging or the product
itself. Counterfeiting mobile charger
will sometimes remove a
"Made in China" sticker when
importing fake products, and
producers of counterfeits
will sometimes simply leave
off the country of origin
designation.
