That also points back to something we've said many times before to posters who use Google as an authentication tool. Finding a Coach on Google never ever will prove that it's genuine, especially not when most fakes sites whose junk shows up on Google are stealing pics of genuine items.
All Google is, is a search engine. They don't know and don't care whether or not a site is selling fakes, and they're sure not going to risk losing a part of the huge Chinese market by restricting or looking too closely at Chinese websites. Having a site or page show up on Google doesn't prove that it's real, or telling the truth, or a good place to do business. And since Google only lists sites in their Search database, older webpages, information more than 5 or 10 years old, and especially Coach webpages more than a few months old do NOT show up in Google searches.
When looking for a Coach style number, start with Ebay, not Google. It still doesn't prove the item is genuine, but at least your chance of finding a genuine item is slightly improved. Google should always be a last resort, and only when you can't find the information anywhere else.
"cant these sites ever be reported to anybody?"
You can report them to Coach, but the sites are usually located in China and China doesn't give a fat rat's patoot about US or international laws. Louis Vuitton is one of the few companies that have actually won court cases against Chinese website owners, but it's an expensive process and because of rampant political corruption the site owners seldom face any serious punishments. Counterfeit merchandise accounts for between 5 and 10 percent of China's total income from production and exports, and the government has no genuine interest in stopping the deluge of fakes pouring into world markets.
