I heard that friends often buy things online, and they are both good quality and cheap, so Miss Gu was very tempted. Thus, she searched for "LV France Official Website" on the Baidu website. The website had numerous styles of LV bags, and the photos showed them to be extremely luxurious and attractive. To Miss Gu's surprise, most of the bags here were on sale at a 70% discount.
Ironically, not long after being deceived, Miss Gu went shopping with the Gucci bag she bought online for the first time. However, the salesperson at the boutique store firmly reminded her that this bag was also a counterfeit! The news was like a thunderbolt, and Miss Gu's inner wounds were sprinkled with salt again: "I'm almost breaking down, now I don't even dare to go online."
A few days later, Miss Gu received the goods. Upon opening them, she found that the appearance was very rough, even with wrinkles, clearly indicating that it was a fake product. However, Mr. Liu's phone could no longer be reached. "I thought an official website was run by the government, it couldn't possibly be fake, but I didn't expect to fall victim to fraud." Miss Gu was very disappointed and could only file a complaint with the Haizhu District Consumer Council.
After some conversation, the reporter learned that this was actually her second online purchase. The first one was also around May this year when she spent 20,000 yuan to buy an LV bag and a Gucci bag from a Beijing-based website. It was due to this seemingly successful experience that she let her guard down and continued to try online shopping. She ended up spending 4,700 yuan and getting a counterfeit bag instead.
LV official website, Gucci official website, Coach official website, Chanel official website, Prada official website... Does having the name "official website" mean the products are guaranteed to be authentic? Miss Gu's experience shows that this is not necessarily true. Miss Gu lost nearly 5,000 yuan because she blindly trusted what was claimed as the "LV Official Website". After multiple investigations, the reporter discovered that counterfeit official websites are quite common, and some are even made in Guangzhou. Some are so realistic that they claim to be "Louis Vuitton China Global Purchasing Agent" and even have membership functions where users can subscribe to the LV China E-Weekly newsletter, making them highly deceptive. Many lawbreakers take advantage of people's trust in the words "official website" to defraud consumers.
Without much hesitation, Miss Gu called the provided number on the website. A Mr. Liu enthusiastically responded to Miss Gu's questions. Mr. Liu claimed that the reason why the LV bags were so cheap was because he was the sole designated agent for the China region, and all the items sold online were clearance goods. Following Mr. Liu's instructions, Miss Gu then deposited 4,700 yuan into the bank account he provided to purchase an LV bag.
