Bitch Please… FAKE Iron Heart?

[roydub87]

@Giles I mean in some worlds imitation is flattery but in this one it’s plagiarism @Oaktavia at least soso doesn’t copy the exact color way …. I mean not in defense to their very non imaginative branding but the 1 for 1 color copying is kinda nuts

@Giles

"Unbranded brand" do it too... Made in China...

[Giles]

At least they say Heavyweight" not "Heavy".......

Hi all,

New here to forum. Apologies if this is a common ask for new people. Happy to move this to a preferred thread.

Do you guys have an ongoing thread for feedback regarding potential counterfeits? I assume this is a pretty common topic but didn’t find much in the search function.

I’m noticing brand new heavy weight knits in colors that I can’t source through the iron heart catalog. This is a reseller out of Ukraine and my gut tells me this is not legit. Curious on your thoughts.

@wildhorses merged to the fake thread and they may be fake. We have had those colourways in the past, but I can’t tell if they are real from those pictures.

[wildhorses]

@goosehd thanks, brother.

There’s a lot of fake listings on Grailed that are either in Ukraine or say other EU countries then ship from there. I just had to get a refund fairly recently, and the seller seems to have created either fake tracking or actually shipped something domestically just to get a legit traceable Number from Nova Poshta that shows as delivered after a couple days. In short: those pics look like iron heart shirts, but I wouldn’t hold out hope they’re actually selling those items unless the feedback numbers show them to be an established seller.

@sabergirl thank you Ann! My thoughts as well, but I have zero proof to back those thoughts up. Truly appreciate the insights!!

[Giles]

Would not touch that with a bargepole unless you want to donate to The Ukraine....

[wildhorses]

@sabergirl

thank you for the feedback.

I agree, there’s some sketchy things happening with tracking on grailed. I suspect I’m currently involved in some kind of tracking scam that I’m still waiting to pan out.

I’m pretty much done buying used at this point.

@wildhorses You can find good deals on used items here on the forum.

[sabergirl]

Secret to buying used is only go for trusted sources unless you’ve got a guaranteed platform that will give you the out. That’s why I am still loyal to eBay after all these years. And why Grailed is getting on my last nerve. The scammer shenanigans took them almost four weeks and me jumping through a bunch of hoops to get a refund and have the scammer banned. Anyway, same as anything else, if you’re street smart and use common sense, you should mostly be okay. Just a headache from time to time. But, we should all get as much secondhand shit as we can, because overconsumption is the final nail in the coffin of earth.
