Fake iPhones Exploited - Counterfeit iPhones Discovered

Some of us have had a chance to see a fake iPod or maybe read about them online. Well, what about a fake counterfeit iPhone? Yes, they have fake iPhones in China which are poor examples of the real iPhone. Shown in the images on this post are several examples of fake “iClone” iPhones mainly from China. It seems most of them run a “bootleg” version of windows mobile or what appears to be Windows mobile from the splash screen that it displays upon start-up. Many sites have sold these devices for much less than the real Apple iPhone and have legitimately gotten away with it.

Motorola has an interesting campaign on, showing the fact that it is tough to spot the difference between genuine Motorola Bluetooth accessories and nasty Asian copies.

The Chinese Could Fake Everything

It has been a hot debate on the recent Olympic Opening Ceremony faking issue in Beijing, China. The cute looking little girl who sing for the opening ceremony is nothing more than an lip-syncher while the actual singer is someone else who didn't look as cute as she is.

Part of the spectacular fireworks broadcast to the work is pre-recorded and it is not 100% live! It looks like these faking job has become part of the Chinese culture. Everything is made to looks perfect but it is not exactly real.

'It's for the nation's interest',
A rather simple reason given behind all those faking things happen which has tricked billions of people worldwide into believing.

Now as the government could do fake things to the world, I couldn't imagine how the they could curb all the counterfeit issues which is highly famous in China!

China Fake USB Thumbdrive

You've heard about it but has you seen it? The infamous fake USB Thumbdrive from China news which has been circulating over the internet some years ago.

Well, they do have some creativity but it was used in the wrong way, the evil way!

Sony 32GB, 64GB, 128GB USB Thumb Drive



Take this! I bet your eyes will pop up and your saliva will be dripping non-stop looking at the amount of space offered by these new thumbdrive. A freaking 128GB!
Now, the highest capacity of USB Thumb drive in the market now is only 16GB, what makes you think that Sony could produce 128GB thumb drive when thumbdrive is not even Sony's core business. They're not the leading expert in making thumb drive.

I had once buying a Sony 2GB USB Thumb drive a few years back but found out that it could only store 1GB of data although it register having 2GB of space in the computer. The same thing like these new 128GB thumb drive, it does register with 128GB of space in the computer but when you start pumping data into the drive, eventually some of the data will not be retrieveable.
Sony 4300mAH, 4600mAH, 6400mAH Rechargeable AA Battery

Please bare in mind that the maximum capacity for AA size rechargeable battery is only 2700mAH! Perhaps the Chinese like the brand SONY so much that the start producing these fake Sony rechargeable battery.
They can be easily available on Ebay or other online stores. Myself also almost fell into this trap when I wanted to but myself a set of rechargeable battery for my camera. Luckily I manage to cancel the order before its too late.

China Fake Money

I know many country in the world has this fake bank notes problem. Even our own Bolehland is not spared. But when I went to China, the fake money problem is just some common issues they had on daily basis. Try walk to a roadside stall, buy something with a $100 note and get the change from them. Chances that you may get some fake notes were there. So, if you were to buy things from the road side stall, make sure you have enough small money to prevent your change into fake money. You could spend the large amount of money notes at some reputable stores but that also wasn't a guarantee!

Fake Camera Film

Well, several years back during my trip to Shanghai, China. I was using a film camera because my digital camera freeze up as the temperature was only about 5 degrees C. I was told not to buy camera film at the small booth in certain area because it is known that some people there sells fake camera film!
You would only realize that it is fake when you bring it to a shop to do the photo printing. Its only some plastic film which is inside the roll, not a real negative film!

Movie Piracy

Well, movie piracy happens everywhere but in China, things could gone to a level some other country wont find. Not only you would find original movies being pirated, you would also find movies which never existed sold in the DVD shop there. I mean, how would you like your favourite movie idol appear in some photoshoped movie title cover which never existed, lol!

Apart from that, there are just too many cases of fake and counterfeit things which happens in China that made into the news headline. I still remember the scary fake milk powder news which reported few years ago. Infants was severely suffered with malnutrition and some even killed by those irresponsible people who made those fake milk powder just for the sake of making money.

Fake or Real Diamond?

Buying a diamond for the first time is a very personal and exciting experience. Hands down, the first thing on the mind of the buyer will be: How can I know I am buying the real thing and not a fake?

If you have been given a beautiful diamond or heirloom and you want to be absolutely sure that your diamond is real, get a professional appraisal. This can be done by looking under "Jewelry" (Appraisal) found in your yellow pages. Call to inquire about their services and ask these two important questions:

1. Will I be able to accompany my jewelry at all times or will you take my jewelry to evaluate elsewhere? If they say they will need to separate your jewelry from you at any point, it would be wise to find another appraiser.
2. What is the fee? ($50.00-$75.00 is considered a good fee.)

If a professional appraisal is not within your limited budget, here are some other methods.

1. If you have access to a diamond tester, you can test for diamonds vs. simulants. (Beware, moissanite is the only stone than can fool the electronic diamond tester.)
2. The transparency test. Flip your diamond upside down and place it over some newsprint. If you can clearly read through the stone, it's not a diamond. (Beware, some low cut diamonds or stones such as emeralds can be read through.)
3. The fog test. Put your diamond in front of your mouth and fog it like you would fog a mirror. If it stays fogged for 2-4 seconds, it's a fake. A real diamond will disperse the heat instantaneously so by the time you look at it, it has already cleared up. Oil and dirt on the stone can affect reliability and the test is not accurate at all on doublets where the top of the stone is diamond and the bottom is cubic zirconia glued together.
4. Test for weight. The most popular diamond simulant (fake) is a cubic zirconia. C.Z.'s will weigh approximately 55% more than diamonds for the same shape and size. Use a carat or gram scale to see if the impostor tips the scales too much.
5. The U.V. test. Many diamonds will show fluorescence of blue if put under an ultra violet light or black light. 99% of all fakes don't do this; so, a positive identification of medium to strong blue would indicate a diamond. Diamonds with blue fluorescence can be as much as 20% less valuable; however, lack of blue fluorescence doesn't mean it's a fake; it could be a better quality diamond.
6. The under the loop test. With a magnifying lens, there are some things you can look for on the stone that might give away its identity:
1. Look at your diamond from the top and see how the facets (the cuts on top of the diamond) are joined. They should be sharp but not rolled.
2. Is the girdle faceted or frosty (yes, then it's a diamond) or waxy and slick (yes, then it's a fake.)
3. Under magnification, look into your diamond for flaws (carbon, pinpoints, small cracks.) It's very hard to put inclusions into a fake.
4. Look at the stamps inside the setting. A stamp of "10K, 14K, 18K, 585, 750, 900, 950, PT, Plat" indicates the setting is real gold or platinum. This gives a better chance that the stone in it is real as well. Look for any "C.Z." stamps. This will tell you the center stone is not a diamond.
