Only a fool pays big money for the real thing when you can get stuff on the street for a fraction of the price No one's going to know the difference and besides, it doesn't do anyone any harm does it?
Sadly, it's not quite that simple Counterfeit goods are a serious problem for the big brand name manufacturers "Although none of the big companies would admit how much they are losing, it clearly runs into millions of pound every year, " says John Anderson, executive secretary of the Anti-Counterfeiting Group, a body that represents around 200 major brands in the UK
“You can buy a bag of fake Lacoste crocodiles in a market in some foreign country and just sew them on to a bunch of cheap T-shirts.” Anderson says, “The products are often very poor quality, and you have no right to return those kinds of goods to the shop afterwards if they run to the wash or something” Although few people are likely to feel sorry for brand name manufacturers, the problem goes deeper than that “A fake T-shirt is not going to kill you, but you could die if the profits from that shirt go into making fake pharmaceuticals We have evidence that there is money – laundering going on and a lot of the profits often go back into drug-dealing” says Anderson
The Anti-Counterfeiting Group is convinced that most fake products are directly linked to organized crime and terrorism and there is strong anecdotal evidence to support this claim
Trading of goods often works like this The counterfeit traders operate from small portable crates, mostly selling fake perfumes and T-shirts Three or four of them work a patch and the cash is held by a money man who watches over his team
The money man hands out cash to his stooges, often women, who gather round traders pretending
to feverishly buy the fake goods The stooge’s job is to whip up interest from the public
Each time the trader runs out of goods he gets more from a van parked out of sight nearby At the first sign
of trouble, the traders whip away their crates and disappear Policing the counterfeit is not easy
So while the cunning counterfeiters continue to escape the law, black-market shoppers will still be able to look like a million dollars on the cheap But at what cost to the rest of us?
