Repaired, sorry, looks like it got moved.

I came across this article today, and did some looking around as if I were price shopping and found a couple of sellers on Ebay that seem to be selling fake units from China as if they were the real deal.

They were fairly easy to spot since I had read the article, but someone price shopping who doesn't know, could be easily fooled. (I would have been)

Be Informed! Better yet, shop with suppliers you know you can trust.

Etc.

Thanks I wasn't aware of that post. I cannot however get the first link to work. If it is fake will return it, if allowed . I still however don't know what the article said on how to tell.

Repaired, I think, for now.

It seems they have also been beaten by the PhotoPhucket monkey wrench.

D**n photobucket, they SUCK BIG TIME! Their little treacherous backstabbing · double-crossing · double-dealing · blackmail stunt has caused untold problems for many posters as we go forward for years to come! :evil: :furious:

I have figured out a few tricks to circumvent their ransom demands and save the photos to another hosting site on an as need basis! :mrgreen:

These are all the missing photos of the REAL vs. the fake Chinese Provent knockoff!

Hope this helps some?
Enjoy!

I'm always buying materials and pieces of stuff from China, I think I should be more careful.
