How/where do you report website/shops/sellers of fakes/counterfeits?

I've seen them around too. I hate it. I have tried to report but it is hard to do. I think I made a phone call but never got a live person and ended up leaving a detailed voice message. Nothing ever came of it.
 
there's some here too. but it doesn't anger me or bug me in any way because of how obviously fake they are. there's the wanna-be's and the ones that are fake but try to pass for the real thing. there's a diff. they all suck but the ones that try to pass for the real thing is worse. it can cost almost as much but its fake!! the cheap looking wannabes are like 20 bucks and prolly for people who dont care about the brand but just want a nice looking bag.
 
Anyways...I forgot to mention...I see fake sunglasses at the kiosk all the time and they're like $12.99 for one or 2 for $20. I actually picked them up one time, looked at it...and couldn't believe how cheap of quality they are. I feel more confidant purchase the real thing...I don't understand how someone could carry fake designers. It's just weird.

For example...I purchase an MJ stam 4 years ago, and i was sure it was real...I recently found out about a year ago it was fake! how embarrassing...never wore that thing again!
 
I don't know if this is the proper area to post this, but if not, please redirect.

I recently visited the small town where my parents live and went shopping at a local strip-mall.

There was a store called Cash Fast, and they are apparently one of those payday advance companies. Even though this is their main business, they are apparently selling fake handbags as well.

They had about 60-70 bags hanging up on the wall and on stands in the store itself. Many of them were fake Chanel, Kate Spade, and Dooney & Bourke.

I want to turn them in, but I'm not sure how to go about it. I don't think the local police even would know that selling fake bags is a crime, nor that they would really care. I would like to contact the state police, because I think they may have better resources but am not sure if this is where to turn.

I have no clue as to how to tell the police it's illegal (if they don't know). I am just so mad at this place for being so blatant. I'm also wondering if they will pay any attention to just one complaint about the business.

Any information anyone may have on turning this business in would be more than helpful.

My sister too a picture with her phone, which is attached.

Is there any possible way to report a website that allows people to sell and purchase fake Chanel and Vuitton purses?
xxx
please do not link to fakes!

They have hundreds of fake items.
There's numerous incidents where seller sold fake Chanel bags as authentic and got busted!.

Let me know!

There is an italian blog which sells fake bags: Vuitton and Dior mainly. She did spam on an italian forum where I write too and the girls of the forum told she was selling fakes too. But no one left a comment on the blog to aware buyers, so I did. The owner and about 4/5 sellers told me not really nasty words but the contets of their replies were nasty. I just wrote those bags were fakes and that she should write "replica" at least to inform the customers they're not buying original!
She also said she has my ip puah!!
However I wrote an email to the blog-provider. I hope she will close the blog!!

Have you ever warned people about fakes and people instead of giving right to you support the seller? Have you ever tried to report fakes outside ebay?
I knew I had to do my business but I'm :hysteric:and just wanted to warn not expert people, uff!!! :shrugs:
Do you think it's better to make your own business? They told me many thing and ended saying "Don't come here and buy your bags where you use to buy them!" .....sure I will!!!
