Another site to watch out for- ioffer.com

[Makeupaddict88]

So, I was googling an eyeshadow the other day to see what it looked like and this site came into my results. I decided to look at it and I just want to warn everybody the amount of FAKES on here. They have everything from brush sets, to pigment collections to supposedly MAC mascara (complete with a plastic package that looks like it came from the drugstore). I don't know if anybody knows about this site but thought I'd throw it out there. Here is the link to the supposed "mascara" that they claim is MAC.

You look and let me know what you think.

iOffer is jam packed full with fake stuff - see Counterfeit M·A·C from Thailand on iOffer

There is even a member of Specktra who has asked about iOffer because she wants to buy a fake;

Replicas = fakes = illegal

The seller of the item listed by the OP, dreamskill, is based in Shanghai, China. Need I say any more?

Wow, I can't believe that these people can rip customers off like that and not care. I don't know much about Ioffer, but I'm guessing it's basically like an Ebay. I messaged some seller because he was selling a "palette" of MAC eyeshadows and when I asked him what the names were he just responded with "see the picture" Good job at screaming out their fake to me.

Lol Sarah,i suppose there's no accounting for taste

Fakes are just that fakes!
In my opinion why would you want to waste your money on replicas...buy some decent bags in places such as TKMax or take a trip to Italy ,they have some cheap but elegant bags....not necessarily famous label names

These websites remind me of Del Boy and Peckham

It's not just the fact they're not the genuine article, it's what sales of fakes fund. Fakes can even fund terrorism.

See Fake designer goods - yes or no?

They're criminals. Why should they care? Their "business" is ripping people off. They have no qualms about it.

Sarah..I knew that(about terrorism),there was a programme on Discovery channel sometime ago which was very informative

Sarah i think you,should write a guide for eBay with this info to educate people about the dangers of buying fakes etc!!!
I recall in one of your older posts you mentioned about the chinese even counterfeting milk

and the consequences were deadly

I was at McDonalds,buying MC happymeal,for my son and was approached by the little chinese man with offer to buy DVDS,i politely declined even though it was abit hard to explain to my 6 year old son,about fake DVDS
