If it is real there should be a serial number on the inside. Also like the other poster said if you bought it from a shaddy guy then its probably a fake. If it looks cheap, it is.

If it is genuine, I think it will be impossible to demonstrate it.  \nIf it is not genuine it will possible to demonstrate it.\n\nSo we will only be sure after they say that is not genuine.

Looks legit to me go for it!! A tip to look for on a legit and a real site is a small lock icon and the bottom right corner of Internet explorer browser if you see it ,it's safe if your then your taking a risk by buying from that site with out the lock icon at the bottom of your browser.

Depends on what proof you have, whether or not it was actually worn by Alex Delvecio, depends on its condition and a few other things that i can't remember. Best bet is to get it authenticated and appraised.

I got some counterfeit money as change when I was in France. I didn't know the difference between a counterfeit 10 franc piece (coin) and a genuine 10 franc piece. I tried to spend it in a shop and the clerk wouldn't take it and said it was fake. I basically said WTF, I got it as change somewhere.  But they still wouldn't take it. I showed it to a local and they pointed out the little imperfections in it.  But it DID look and feel pretty similar, almost exact even to a genuine 10 franc piece, it wasn't an obvious fake like photocopies of dollar bills are.  And 10 francs was about $2 so who expects THAT to be fake??

These scammer used to use the website www.thecomputerwarehouseinc.com .  I know of 6 they have used.  One gets closed down and they start a new one.  \n\nThey will send you counterfeit item that are useless and you can not get your money back because you have to pay COD.  Try to call there customer service number.  They don't answer!!!!

quite easy but make sure they are authentic. most will sell you good quality stuff but getting them past customs will soon become a problem..they may pass through the first few times but sooner or later you will get a letter form customs saying they are fake and you are out the money you paid supplier because they will nto refund money in most cases and you will also have to pay fines from customs and the trademark of the fake clothes may sue you.

I do and don't recommend this. I'd hit them with something hard, but not too hard to make sure that it wasn't glass. If it breaks it's not a diamond and if it chips it might be fake, but it might be real. The best way to find out is to go and get it appraised at a jewelry store

There are several ways to help you find out if the business is real or fake:\n\n1. For US businesses, you can check their business credit report at Dun and Bradstreet http://www.dnb.com/us/ , or a cheaper alternative is Experian Business http://www.experian.com/business/bcr.html1. \n\n2. Check with Mapquest the accuracy of the address. It can be as simple as this, but one website that advertised with us looks incredibly professional but the address does not exist. They paid us with stolen credit card. They are BBB member but we could not file a complaint because BBB says that the address does not exist (how they became a BBB member is a mystery).\n\n3. BBB member - but note that BBB is a non profit organization, not government agency that requires every organization to register. See my #1 example of how being a BBB member is not a guarantee of the legitimacy of a website.\n\n4. Check the EIN number using databases such as freeerisa.com http://www.freeerisa.com (they allow you up to 3 free searches) or http://www.knowx.com\n\n5. Check if they have any address or phone number located in their website. Contact the phone number. If you can't get hold of anyone and you tried to call at different times, you can assume that something is not right\n\n6. Check how recent the domain of the website was registered. The older the domain the more assurance you can get that this is the real deal. Scammers typically set up a new domain, create a website, scam other people, then close up the site immediately. Note though that many owners are opting for private domain registration so you cannot see the whois details in terms of contact name and address.\n\n7. Search the web using the company name as your keyword. If you can find any derogatory or complaints in forum or blogs or websites, then that can be a red flag for you. Check especially websites such as RipOffReport http://www.ripoffreport.com to find out if others have complained about the business\n\nOne rule of thumb to follow: if they are offering you a deal too good to be true, it probably is.

The previous poster is correct you need to register the trademark with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.  But, you need to first do a search to see if the name 'fendi' is already trademarked by another company or individual.   I did a quick search and it is, in fact, trademarked by a number of other parties. \n\nBut, that doesn't mean you still cannot trademark the term.  If none of the other parties who've trademarked the 'fendi' name are in similar businesses, or/and aren't located in the same geographic area you may still be able to register the trademark.  The key thing here is making sure that a consumer would have no reason to confuse your trademark with another companies.  That's why dissimilar businesses can trademark the same things.   \n\nI'm not an attorney, just a business owner.  But that's how it's been explained to me by our attorney. \n\nBelow is a link that will take you directly to a search of other companies using the 'fendi' name.  As well as a general link to the USPTO's web site.

search the web and check them for authenticity, cross-referencing them with one another. there's a lot of misinformation going around as well.

Hard to say without knowing what kind of bag it is. I would go to the website of the manufacturer and see what they have to say about counterfits and knock-offs. A lot of top end manufacturers have a problem with it and have taken measures to add a feature that is hard to copy. Check it out. Bottom line. Things that are too good to be true are not usually true. It's always been that way.

It's fake. Don't do it. Also, see if you can check them out at www.bbb.com and if they're not on there, report them.
