Entrupy is not dependable!

For anyone keeping score, Entrupy just blew ANOTHER "authentication" of a Coach bag, courtesy of our friends at Goodwill:

https://forum.purseblog.com/threads...oach-fakes-here.824098/page-416#post-33269835

Going just from memory, I seem to recall maybe 7 or 8 times when Entrupy got it wrong, and only one time they actually got one right. There are four sets of listing photos in my files along with a photo of the Entrupy certificate and every one is a fake that probably could have been spotted just by Googling the style number! I'd LOVE to see more Coach listings with photos of the Entrupy certificate just to add to my files.

I don't know their track record with other brands, but their track record for Coach bags STINKS.

And here's a huge consequence of Entrupy inaccurately authenticating items they know nothing about. The problem snowballs!

Entrupy (knowingly or not) misauthenticates items, Goodwill (knowingly or not) sells those fakes giving buyers a false sense of security by providing them with a "COA," and those buyers flip their purchases, further ripping off new buyers.

One of the fakes we saw back in March (on AT Coach) was reported to Goodwill who refused to accept that their "professional" authenticator, Entrupy made a mistake. So the listing sold.

The same fake bag with the same Entrupy certificate (with shopgoodwill's name redacted) is being resold.

This is frightening. I am having an issue with a bag I purchased through Luxe du Jour. Two authenticators that I paid, said the bag was fake. However, the authenticators used by Luxe du Jour and Entrupy say the bag is real. They told me, that because Entrupy confirmed the bag as authentic, they will not issue a refund, or exchange the bag. They are acting as though Entrupy does not make a mistake, yet here you are providing proof that they do !! Now, I am the one stuck with this bag.

IMO, you have good reason to be concerned! There is absolutely no doubt that the Coach fakes we saw were obvious fakes.
Did you pay with a credit card? If so, file a dispute with the card company and if they need proof, submit your 2 authentications.

I've reported a few times to Goodwill "Chanel" items that they listed as authentic (with Entrupy certificates) that were obvious fakes and they never got pulled.

Unfortunately, I did not use a credit card. I will have it authenticated again and take it from there. I really hope the bag is authentic, I absolutely love it. Thank you :smile:

I am too believe that entrupy os not dependable. I ordered a LV alma bb from oliver jewellery. After i got it, i compared it with my other purse and the canvas and rivets looks oddly different. Since i purchased it the link was gone. I used proauthenticators and they deemed the bag is fake. Now they tested the bag and showed me the entrupy certificate!

Since it's been noted that Shopgoodwill uses the Entrupy machines, I wonder if this terrible fake bag was authenticated using Entrupy as the listing states "CONDITION: like new, comes with COA, internal authenticated, please refer to pictures, if you need more pictures or have any questions please message us prior to placing a bid, we will not remove any bids, “this is a final sale”". [Btw, I have reported this as fake to shopgoodwill on Saturday and it has not been taken down].

A pet peeve of mine is that you have to open an account on shopgoodwill in order to contact them or to report.

As for Entrupy authentications, with Coach, they usually show the certificate in their listings. My guess with regard to the fake Chanel is that they now have an in-house "expert!"

Wow, bidding is already over $4500. I know nothing about Chanel but just searching the number shows it has been used on several fakes.

Can you post a single photo of the Alma heatstamp (made in)? It's blurry when I enlarge your screenshot but the font looks way off.
