Good article..... Caveat Emptor!

A "too good to be true" price isn't always a good deal....

Kert and I just read that article on Sunday Greg
A real eye opener
Good fakes out there too if you don't know what your looking for
Buy only from reputable distributors not on price alone!

Was just thinking about swap meets...really going to be hard to tell a fake if you don't have that article handy, or have the real deal to compare to side by side.

Wish this Country would be a bit more serious about clamping down on this sort of stuff...these fakes aren't just a couple knockoffs coming from a guys basement. It would not be hard for China to stop this if there were repercussions.

The drug co I work for has spent millions uncovering fake drugs with the FBI and DEA
Mostly Viagra knockoffs but many others as well as other co's products too
It's really big business for china and of course a USA patent means nothing to them
