How to report fake Nike sellers on eBay

rich04

Fistly visit this thread: http://forums.j600.com/how-to-contact-ebay-about-fakes-you-ve-bought-t13914.html

would it possible to tailor the rift super search so that the known rift fake sellers wouldn't be included in the search. its doing my nut in scrolling through all the sh*te fakes just to find the odd genuine rift Sad

i looked through one ebay page earlier and rift zooms not included there were only 2 pairs of genuine rifts on it Mad

i made this a sticky so people can quickly access it and do their part in the war on fakes. also will be a good place to post the sellers responses so we can have proof of what excuses/lies the fake sellers are actually telling people, scroll down to read what proactive initiative j600 are doing about the situation.

Any seller on this list of known fake sellers needs a warning as they are the ones who will be submitted to the authorities for investigation: http://forums.j600.com/list-of-fake-sellers-ebay-id-s-t13226.html

This is the REVISED message which J600 members should send to fake sellers. Please note members, this is a serious issue. This is not an idle threat the reports WILL actually be sent to these departments! We will vet every report to ensure it is only fake sellers that are reported. Hopefully the warning will be enough but if not these fake sellers have sealed there own fate. I image lots will be liable for more than just fake selling and end up being prosecuted for tax issues and even benefit fraud.

This is the suggested format of the warning to send them before filing your complaint...

copy & paste:
I am not sure if you are aware but the 'Nike' Air Rifts you have for sale are fakes. This is a quick email to make you aware of this and to give you 48hours to cancel your counterfeit auctions. If your auctions are not removed within 48hours please be aware that I will be filing a report which will be sent to the following authorities:

1. Trading standards
2. Consumer Direct
3. Hewitsons (Nike UK's legal department)
4. HM Revenue & Customs
5. Department for Work and Pensions
6. eBay's VERO department

You may not be aware but there is a new system where we can automatically report you to ALL of the authorities above simply by entering your ebay username and item numbers. HMRC and Trading Standards do not accept ignorance as an excuse. You are literally 1 click away from being reported and then Trading Standards can take the matter further.

This is not a threat, this is the action that I will take if your counterfeit items are still listed in 48hours time.

the fake rift sellers are in for a BIG shake up shortly. my best advice for anyone selling fake rifts on ebay at the moment is to stop it now before it happens.

currently working on something that will combine an automated report to:

Nike UK's legal department (their solicitors)
Trading standards
Consumer Direct
HM Revenue & Customs
The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP)

all at the click of a button (entering the sellers username and item numbers). not only are the fake sellers going to be in the sh*t with nike and trading standards for selling fakes, they are also at the same time being reported to the tax man and DWP (god help them if they are claiming benefits!)

like i said, my best advice to anyone selling fake rifts on ebay is stop it today as once this system is complete (and its not far away) these sellers are going to be in some serious sh*t (from all angles!)

helping ya out there ben - copy and pasted your note and added a line:

Hi,
These rifts, along with all the rifts you sell are 100% fake, and you know it. Unless they are removed, I am going to report you to Nike, as they are clamping down hard on fake sellers. You have been warned. Please remove your items now before its too late.

was able to e-mail 25 fake sellers before ebay said i reached my limit.

looking forward to that form ur making timmy. im gonna see if i cant contact nike here in the us and let them know whats going on (again) and what we are doing about it.

the more of us that copy and paste the above, the more they will realize theres a slew of us out there ready and willing to bring them down. i started from page 1 and got to around page 9. some can start from the last page (pg 16 - unbelieveable) and work back.

bastards are gonna pay...

Good work, these people need to be made aware though that these reports are going to be sent! I dont think they realise the implications of selling fake goods. If they did, they wouldnt wait for these to end then not relist more, they would end the auctions now.

Every single seller that does not remove items within 48hours of being warned IS going to be reported.

It will be interesting to see which ones take note of the warning and end their auctions early and which ones don't. Then check back next month to see if they are still around!

OK People - great to see 'some' of you are doing the work - however I get the impression that most members will be sat on there arses doing nothing. How long have we all been here complaining about fake rifts and the thousands of pounds that the fake sellers make selling this sh*te!

NOW IS THE TIME TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE!!!!

Don't just sit there and let other members do all the leg work, get off your arse and send a few mails to snide sellers, its very satisfying and you will know that every mail you send WILL make a difference. This will not work if we don't ALL work together.

So I address you all:

Rift Wearers/Collectors

We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore.

We will be united in our common interests.

Perhaps its fate that today is the 23rd of May, and you will once again be fighting to rid Ebay of fake sellers.

We're fighting for our right to live and exist in a snide free world.

And should we win the day, the 23rd of May will no longer be known as a bog standard day of the week, but as the day when the rift world declared in one voice:

"We will not go quietly into the night!

We will not vanish without a fight!

We're going to live on in our OG's!

We're going to survive!"

Today, we celebrate our Genuine Rift Day!!!!!!!!!!

i think we should just report them without warnings!

if we warn them they may/will just take them down and sell them somewhere else... and thats not really combatting the fake situation, its just moving it away from ebay...

if we go straight to reporting they will be taken an destroyed or whatever Smile

here are my responses

-armlsj10

enough with the threats, i have told you that i have no more left, i do not who you think you are e-mailing people out of the blue but if you want to take this any further i suggest a meeting with yourself to disscuss this matter, if these are fake they are without my knowledge, and do not question my integrity.

-oluwayemi2006

i bought this rift from a closing down sports shop in birmingham. i dont know them to be fake and my customers likes them. thanks

-mevans2006

hi bk,what are you on about these nike air rifts are real.you are more than welcome to report me to nike?????.by the way i just had a look at your iteams and if there is any one how needs to be reported for selling fake (shoes,cloths,and bags)its you my son.thanks for your concern.

-funkymonkey-biz

There is no need to be so aggressive!
My supplier assures me he gets them from the Nike factory, I have never had any compaints from my buyers, as you can see from my feedback.
Go ahead and report me if you wish to do so, at least I will get my listing fees back.
Regards,
Lisa

-adondeano

These are not fake, i get them from a wholesaler in manchester . My rifts are made in indonesia the same as shops, where as the fake rifts are made in china and come in bags were mine come in nike boxes. If you want to meet me and see for yourself you can. As far as im concerned your a wind up as you cannot say something is fake by a picture.

HOW DO YOU KNOW ! YOU MUST NOT HAVE ANYTHING BETTER TO DO !!!! DO WHAT YOU LIKE I HAVE RECEIPTS FROM EPI IN WALTHAM CORSS IN LONDON WHO HAPPEN TO BE THE BIGGEST NIKE CLEARANCE DEPOT IN THE UK SO DO WHAT YOU LIKE OH AND BY THE WAY YOU ARE WRONG.

tim that info could be useful as that could be where all these sellers are getting their stock from, they may be paid a visit from trading standards

northernsole · Posted: Wed May 23, 2007 5:37 pm Post subject:

Yeah - Nike's biggest clearance depot that does not come up with Google or Yell - must be a bit hush hush Shhh
