Default Re: I saw my first Louboutin fake this week

Also, read the descriptions and the FAQ's. Sometimes there are clues (aside from grammatical/spelling issues). Many counterfeit sites ship from asia or Australia (many, though not all, auction 'Australia' listing are actually shipped from Singapore, etc). Look for anything saying 'High Quality' 'Replica', A+ AA+ AAA, etc. Be cautious it the word "authentic" is misspelled or abbreviated - that is often a fake designator. These things are codewords for fakes. Remember, any hot, impossible-to-find shoe will usually be worth the same ore more than retail, not less. Unless a style is older, less popular, or used, such prices on a genuine designer shoe are rare. Also, make sure that if you do take a chance on a site offering Louboutins for less than current retail that you use AmEx, MC, Visa & not a debit or account-linked system. Using a credit card will help insulate you against fraud. Just make sure you understand the time limits on your chargeback options so that you don't miss the opportunity to file a chargeback claim if the seller has misrepresented their items or services.
