2 Indians busted for selling fake gold coins

I'm not a racist. But why do I often hear most con/scam news involve an African or an indian, or any color that seems to be closer to the darker side?
An example would be: http://i-am-a-copycat.blogspot.com/2010/10/millionaire-entrepreneur-sosilawati.html

LUCKNOW: With the arrest of two persons, Cantonment police, on Monday, claimed to have busted a gang involved in duping people by selling fake gold coins to them.

The two accused were identified as Shanker Rai and Kanhaiyya Bhaat, both natives of Bihar. The police said that they used to buy brass coins and then get it coated with gold. Since brass also is yellow in colour, they easily befooled victims into believing that the coins were made of gold. They also used to tell the prospective clients that they were labourers and had found these coins during digging work at some place.

They used to sell the coins at anything between Rs 1,000 and Rs 1,500. Cantonment police said that they had been involved in this illegal trade for the last several years. About their area of operation, inspector Cantt, Kuldeep said that they had duped people in several other districts of the state.

Above all, remember

I'm back ok..I'm back..

Ok, I guess I've been gone for awhile. I got promoted as the assistant head of Finance Department!

So things have been rather busy lately as I had been trying to juggle with my new tasks. Now that I've managed to get used to the new management method, I guess I could take a slight breather to proceed on hammering writing about fuckers fakers and copycats.

So yea, copycats beware because I'm back!

Con Artist - Oliver Tan?

Don't you felt like beating the crap outta these horrible people?

I just got back from a vacation in Malaysia for 2 weeks to visit Silvia. It's been ages since I've seen her and she was reluctant to come to New York to look for me!

Anyway, she was telling me about some con artists since we were on the topic of my blog. According to her, her country's probably one of the best place for con artists to reside. She did mention about this man by the name of Oliver Tan who was infringing on a company called Visiber.

I've tried googling for Visiber & found out that it's a company that's doing jewelry & number stuffs. Not that I'm interested in it anyway as my point-of-interest is only focused on the numbers in my bank account. Anyway, Silvia told me that the so-called Dr Oliver Tan claimed to be the founder of whatever Visiber is doing. Try google for Oliver Tan & you'll be able to read some interesting scam issues about him.

Apparently this man went around telling how horrible Visiber is and how expensive their products are. Again, not that I care much though. Perhaps anyone can enlighten me about this dude please?

Anyway, time to sleep. Flying off to Chicago tomorrow for a conference.

Fake Louis Vuitton Sucks!

When I arrived in the office this morning, my colleague proudly showed me a Louis Vuitton bag and told me that he got it from Chinatown for a 100 bucks. And when I looked closer obviously it's not the real deal. If Louis Vuitton starts selling bags for the price of a 100 bucks, I'll probably be the first to order a thousand of them. This post is written just for you Gilbert.

Fake fashion is a $450 billion dollar business. The bigger the brand name, the bigger the payoff for counterfeiters such as fake Louis Vuitton bags. Its signature series of canvas monogram bags is a prime target for knock-off artists and manufacturers. Many of these counterfeit Louis Vuitton bags are so convincing, they easily fool the average consumer. If you are in the market for the real deal, here's how to make sure you're not getting gypped.

Step 1: The Price Is Wrong
Louis Vuitton monogram canvas bags run from $375 and up, with the majority of the bags selling for over $1000. If you're buying a brand new Louis Vuitton bag for less than $300, you're not getting a deal, you're getting a fake.

Step 2: What's In A Name?
If there is an "LV" anywhere on the bag that is crooked or on a stitch or seam, it is not the real thing. The "LV" on a real Louis Vuitton purse will be carefully placed on the bag so that it's not cut off by a seam or snap. Besides the famous initials being monogrammed onto the bag itself, the zipper pull and purse snaps will all be branded as well. The zipper pull should also be brass hardware and heavy to the touch. Many imitators pay attention to the details so make sure you're paying even closer attention. If the seams are uneven or the monogram is the slightest bit off, it's a fake. Louis Vuitton bags are all hand crafted and each one is perfectly assembled. Spend some time on the manufacturer's website to study the details that make the bag authentic.

Step 3: Material Matters
The Louis Vuitton monogram bags are made of canvas but the handles and piping are natural cowhide leather. The color of the leather should be a light tan, with the edge dyed red and the stitching in yellow. After a few weeks of handling your bag, the leather handles will oxidize and fade to a darker brown. If your leather handles don't change color, it's a fake.

Step 4: Location
Louis Vuitton doesn't have any authorized street resellers so resist these so called "deals" they are trying to sell you. Also be careful when buying bags online, although you can find authentic Louis Vuitton bags, there are also a plethora of fakes. Pay attention to the seller feedback and ask about buyer protection and the return policy. One website that is authorized to sell Louis Vuitton bags is www.eluxury.com.

Step 5: Trust Your Gut
When it comes down to it, go with your gut. If you feel funny about where or how much you're paying, walk away. For more information about how to tell the authenticity of a Louis Vuitton bag, visit a Louis Vuitton retailer or call the headquarters at 212-758-8877 in the USA.

COPYCATS!!!!!!!

After I've been ripped off countless of times, I've finally decided to be a online writer although it doesn't seem to jive with what I'm working as - an accountant.


I believe I'm not the only one who have been sucked or rather ripped off because of fake goods, the self proclaimed original ones. My parents used to tell me that being an Asian living in the States, we need to be smart and intellectual to survive in the market.


Anyway, heck, that's besides the point and I don't really want to go too deep into my personal life.


We know they are out there. Pirates, yea...not those sort of pirates in the movies who do not shower for ages. Pirates from the modern society who I must admit are pretty good business minded opportunists; but in a horribly unethical way.


And yet, most of us are still supporting them.


You don't?


You've never bought a DVD from the market at the price of 3 bucks before huh?
