Shopclues & Tradus Selling Fake Products

[Navjot Singh]

Just look at the packaging! It's insanely stupid to use it in this form:

That's way bad. Just checked. Insides of the packaging I received looks pretty normal.

hehe. my packaging seems to be made up of recycled paper printed in a low end printing machine

It has a best before time of 4 years. The original bottle has 3 years.

Maybe that's the catch behind the heavy discount?
At least with Flipkart or Jabong, it's bound to be genuine.

 

[Sushubh]

Catch cannot be that it is a fake product...
If the product is indeed fake, P&G needs to know about it and that is what I am trying to do here.
They are using Olay branding. It's not an unbranded USB cable that you can deliver a poor quality product at low price and it is acceptable.

I have also written to P&G. Lets see if they do something.

Is there any "100% genuine" tagline on the product page? Because if there is, you can easily mess with them.

I do not need to mess with them. P&G if serious about their products and branding in India would do the needful. I do not even want my money back. I plan to keep the product as a proof of them selling fake products to Indian consumers.
from what i understand, it does not become legal for you to sell fake products in the market even if you have in small print that they are fake. you are using the official branding of a company which is most likely trademarked.

Nice observation skills.
Yup these MNC's do take their image,branding very seriously. mail with these pics or link to this thread is sufficient to warrant interest from them.

 

[Sushubh]

Did that. The email on the fake packaging is discontinued (Started another thread about that). They redirect you to a web form which does not allow any attachments. Sent IMGUR links to them along with the URL on Tradus website.
