Angry splash news is linking to fake bags

I cannot believe this!! I was on splashnews and notice they have a new site, splash style where you are suppose to be able to click on a celebrities outfit and find out what it is and then click on that to go to a website where you can buy it....

well on this page: xxxxxthere's a victoria beckham post and I click on her JPG...it goes to a counterfeiter whose claiming it's a real bag for $350.00:xxxxxxxxxxx


How shady is that!!!!!! Then I tried the jeans on the same post and I'm pretty sure this site is fake too: xxxxx
Those jeans are not $99, they're over $300.

THen I tried another post of victoria carrying a black birkin and they said it was some other random bag. I'm very very disappointed!

best not to post the link. We would hate to give these people unintentional publicity. Just state that so site has links to fakes and to be warned.

WOW! I hope that isn't why there are suddenly zillions of JPG's all over the place?
Anyone buying outside of the Hermes structure really may be taking an expensive risk!

If the bags are $300-ish... surely they know they are not real.

I went to the site to see...if this weren't so disgusting, it would be funny:

This is what they say about the JPG pricing . . . .
List Price: $4,800.00
Our Price: $350.00
You Save $4,450.00!

We have a great relationship with the folks at Splash, please PM me with any links displaying fakes and I will personally forward the pages to have them removed.
