Finally got the creed from Its Hadrian for the taft.
Link You Tube Live Sale
Seller It's Hadrian
Comments...he has been responsible and the last two that turned out to be fakes he removed and returned to the consignment store he got them from.
Here is the creed ...pretty sure this is fake...please correct me if I'm totally wrong.

It's totally fake. It would help to see the back of the turnlock, but the K plant never made bags in the US. They were still making clothing in Portugal in 1995 AND 1996.

He really needs to learn a bit more about Coach because I recall fakes in the past. Today's fake and the one last week wouldn't have taken too much knowledge or research for him to figure out that he had fakes.

Without doing too much hunting, I found this post regarding another fake.

Has anyone ever let him know he's promoted (unknowingly?) fakes?

 

[BookwormSally]

Fake

Should I contact the seller?

 

[GenevaMary]

Yes, it's totally fake. The quality is AWFUL, you would never see a genuine Coach with the top layer peeling off the inside pocket. That to me says VINYL, not leather.

As far as I know, Facebook doesn't have any kind of reporting system since it seems like they will "consider" refunding if the item turns out to be Not As Described, but there's no way to report a fake before actually buying it that I can find. Buying from a FB seller is taking a BIG chance.

This page:

Facebook

www.facebook.com

lists "Third Party Infringement items" such as counterfeits, as "prohibited" but I can't find any way of reporting them.
"Third-Party Infringement

"Listings may not contain content that infringes upon or violates the intellectual property rights of any third party, including copyright or trademark. This includes, but is not limited to, the promotion or sale of counterfeits, such as goods that copy the trademark (name or logo) and/or distinctive features of another company’s products to imitate a genuine product."


A general warning - DO NOT BUY FROM FACEBOOK SELLER " Jodi Archer "

thanks!
I did figure out how to report the post. All you have to do is click on the three dots in the top right corner of the post and you can report as counterfeit goods. Although I don’t think it actually makes a difference, since I reported and the post is still there.

 

[whateve]

Should I contact the seller?

I wouldn't. You can report the listing and if enough people agree it will eventually be removed. I think you could possibly be kicked off the site for stirring up trouble if you told the seller since all comments are public.

Thanks, that's very good information.

They do a nice job of hiding the link, don't they? That tells me they don't take it seriously.

Yes, some people have been suspended for that particular violation. And deservedly so.

 

[BeenBurned]

Yes, some people have been suspended for that particular violation. And deservedly so.

And others have been suspended for the same -- IMO, NOT deservedly so.

I told him via private message about the fakes...and am going to post a link to the Salearea guides for him.
