It is the mission of this blog to bring you warnings of every scam encountered or observed that poses a risk or threat to anyone whether financially, or medically.
The chinese are expert at making things. We get low quality goods because they make stuff quickly, and as cheaply as possible for us.This doesn't mean they dont make high quality goods. However, they are masters at forgery and counterfeiting. Not only do they counterfeit rare key date silver dollars, but they are known to make knockoffs of what really are good products, which make them money, but destroy the image of the real product in the process. There are a lot of good products out there that do what they are stated to do, and chances are if any of you have bad experiences with a product that normally has good reviews, it more than likely is a counterfeit.
I only am covering this because A. I firmly believe in natural remedies and their ability to repair any damage or disease without harmful side effects, and B. Judging by how many supplements, especially in the Male Enhancement niche are sold daily, I need to raise some alarms here for which hopefully you avoid health problems from inferior and fake goods. This is not something limited to eBay though. Reputable sellers who have amazing products and service fall victim to shipments of counterfeits. So, they can sell to millions of customers and after a while end up with a few who got a fake batch.
There are a couple major warning signs of a counterfeit supplement:
1. Barcodes may be completely missing from the packaging. The imagery on the package may be pixelated or blurred, not sharp and crisp when compared to an authentic package.
2. If you break open an authentic tablet or examine the contents of a capsule of both a fake and a real one, they generally will look much different when compared side by side. And the risk of a counterfeit is, no guarantee that they are safe for consumption exists and many ill side effects are noted from them and perhaps no benefits at all are derived from taking them.
Keep in mind that before taking any supplement you need to research the ingredients and determine if they are safe for you. A lot of popular supplements do contain potentially harmful ingredients if they are taken in too large of doses. There are a few that do not, but rather than mention any specifically, I encourage you to do your own research that way you are educated about it and can make the right choices for yourself and know why you made them. And always start out with small doses at first to see if you have any adverse reactions, better to suffer a little on a small dose than to have problems with a full size one.
