Experts have warned those who are anxious to own the new iPhone 4S cup of Apple should be careful when buying this product from the online store illegal because they can only receive a phone fake voice.
Some experts estimate that up to 10% of technology products worldwide, equivalent to USD 100 billion in sales of technology products are sold each year are counterfeit or fake products. Many of these products are smuggled into the U.S. market through online marketplaces such as eBay or Craigslist.
"The author of technological equipment is a very serious problem in the secondary market," Robert Auray, president and CEO of GENCO Marketplace, a division of GENCO ATC review. Robert's company is a legitimate company in the secondary market - "One of the things we're doing is controlling where the products are sold and efforts to protect customers who buy products from us" .
Robert Auray company specializing in purchasing excess inventory from the retailer or the manufacturer and then sells that equipment to other vendors. These people will bring products to a site like eBay or Amazon. GENCO Marketplace confirm all their products are from legitimate suppliers. And they assure customers that these devices are genuine (authentic).
However, Robert Auray acknowledged the launch of new products and "hot" as the Apple iPhone 4S will trigger the sale of counterfeit devices in many markets. In fact, a number of Chinese online stores, including website EC21.com even sell "iPhone 5" new. Of course, the sale of equipment called the iPhone 5 will not be smooth since Apple unveiled the iPhone 4S, the phone is the latest generation of them earlier this week.
Even online sales website is very popular in China as Taobao.com, with about 370 million registered users, has sold five clones iPhone price 200 yuan (about 31 USD).
Some smartphone models offered for sale are known by names like "HiPhone 5" or "iiPhone 5" to avoid accusations that they are the dummy device. But the pictures of this device shows the Apple logo and they look identical to the iPhone.
According to Xinhua, earlier this week, Chinese authorities have conducted seized counterfeit versions of the iPhone 5.
A quick survey of consumer shopping sites popular in America as eBay, Craigslist and Amazon did not see the product looks like iPhone 5 illegal or even iPhone 4S. But Theresa Mock, vice president of global marketing at Opsec Security, specializes in helping companies protect trademarks or purged from the web and copied to the fakes that are likely to penetrate.
4S iPhone will be released in the U.S. and in other countries next week. Experts predict Apple's new handset will achieve good sales in all markets. Mock said that those who sell counterfeit goods often catch the market with imitation products immediately even before the genuine product which launched the much awaited, such as the iPhone 4S.
Last year, Opsec has published a report that in the weeks and days before the official debut of a new smartphone, a few dubious list of products from six manufacturers (Nokia, RIM, Apple HTC, Samsung and Motorola) were present on the retail website. Opsec confirmed many products of this type is provided with unexpectedly low price. A retailer can sell the 1000 machines / week with rates only 65% of list price. List of equipment advertised on this website, even if they are "show" that features the original manufacturers ever published.
In fact, very easy to know when buying a smartphone author. Counterfeit goods often use a slower processor, lacking the features that are genuine or simply will stop working after a few weeks. If you bought a smartphone to assume, Mock advised that you have the receipt as well as all the documentation that came with the phone evidence to be provided to authorities.
There are some legitimate dealers retail on eBay and Amazon websites. For those who can not buy the iPhone because the handset 4S not Apple distributor in their country or the agent authorized retailers has been to the Internet is a good place to find iPhone 4S. Mock warn users always face the risk of buying a forgery device if not clear.
"The best thing to do when buying iPhone 4S is from a store or web site legally," Mock said, "That's the only way to ensure you are getting a legitimate product. And always remember, if the contract so favorable, that product may be counterfeit. "
