Still sending fakes - and it's getting harder to tell...
Well, I knew about the problem with fakes but when ahead and risked the purchase because of the low price. I knew something was off with the package, but it met several of the criteria for genuine. It wasn't until I picked-up another set at Target that I noticed that I indeed had received fakes from Amazon. Some items to note of my fakes:
- Had the right packaging, but it printing was blurry on the back. It's hard to tell from the picture, but the text and graphics were noticeably fuzzy.
- The logo did not scratch-off and there was an engraved serial number
- The package only had 1 ring
- Bristles were noticeably sloppy, particularly when compared to the real thing
- There was blue dye leaking onto the yellow piece
Overall, these fakes were slightly better than some of the previous fakes people posted, but still fake nonetheless.
