They look like the Samsung Galaxy or the iPhone, but it’s just … – Spider’s Web

Equivalent Apple Iphone 6, dimensions, appearance and logo so your are 100% identical to the Apple Iphone 6 – a quotation from a site that sells “counterparts “popular smartphones. It is worth not careful.

Experienced user of mobile devices probably quickly realize that the products sold on the website goophones.pl there is something wrong. Seller deftly juggles names and product once called Samsung Galaxy S6, and just uses the term Goophone S6. Once writes that we are dealing with counterpart Samsung Galaxy S6, and immediately adds that sold kit includes Samsung Galaxy S6.

Keen eye will catch these nuances, but less privy to the client, looking for example. Phone gift or planning to purchase their first smartphone might not be so lucky.

Seller phones Goophone, that pretend Samsung (Goophone s5, s6 Goophone, Goophone n3, n4 and Goophone note Goophone edge) and iPhones (Goophone I5S, and Goophone Goophone i6 i6 plus), does everything in his power to gain the customer and sell him fake imitating the original. The website store are even authentic photographs of Samsung phones and iPhones – the same ones that customers can know from the official websites of manufacturers.



Goophone, or from the land of China to Polish

Indeed Goophone equipment salesman sitting in China. It is true that announces the opening of an office in Warsaw, but not che me to believe that dares to represent the business in Poland. He does not believe in it also Kralka Jacob, a lawyer who discussed the matter for us and recognizes that Goophone’y are fakes Samsung phones:

The key question is whether these Goophone ‘ y are fakes Samsung phones. I think so, considering the identical appearance and the fact that from time to time manufacturer calls them ruthlessly Samsung Galaxy S6. Entering fakes on the market entails criminal liability, so the sooner I grow cactus on the head than see Goophone’a office announced in Warsaw. As to the liability of the consumer for the mere fact of buying equipment, it was some time ago the Supreme Court’s judgment imposed very proobywatelską interpretation and currently rather it is no longer treated as receiving stolen goods, although discussions continue to occur.

Seller Goophone unlawfully uses the trademarks of other companies and doing it in order to deceive customers. Perfidnymi products sold are counterfeit products that actually are worth less than they would indicate a bargain price. Phone unknown brand with a dual-core 1 GHz processor and 512 MB of RAM at a price of 500 zł should cause a smile of pity.



But people buy

Sometimes that report to our customers, often in despair, saying he bought in good faith, and it really is what it bought a piece of plastic. In such situations, nothing we can do. I encourage clients who kupli fake to report the matter to the police – said in an interview with Spider’s Web Olaf Krynicki Samsung Poland.

Be careful when shopping and checking the opinions of shops and avoid suspicious bargains . In case of doubt, consult a deal with the manufacturer’s representative. I believe that Samsung and other big brands will advise customers and if possible verify the vendor.

Samsung ensures that the dealings are known to him and as soon as you can trying to fight him.

Yes, we fight such practices to protect the good name of the brand, but also customers. To Europe, including the Polish gets very many fakes, unfortunately, of poor quality. Customers often are not aware of this and give to cheat, the more that the photos on the site are used without our permission. The customer probably thinks that buys our product, and it is not – says Olaf Krynicki Samsung Poland.

Goophone’ów case is not unique, and similar examples, unfortunately, is missing. However, the role of the media is precisely informed about such matters, educating clients and obstruction of vendors who try to sell unwitting consumers fakes.

The fact that such action makes sense, says James Kralka, the guardian of the legal department Bezprawnik.pl – a service that already one such seller stepped on any toes:

From what I see, now Goophone has a Polish website, but does not lead in our country, nor in the European Union and economic activities. In Bezprawniku we have a similar problem from the online shop Lifemedia.pl. We have received many emails from clients who feel cheated by the shop, but his representative located in the United States (probably, but that’s just my theory, in the form of a company-pole). For this reason, it is difficult to pull the two companies to liability arising from the Polish regulations on consumer rights. But of course we will fight. Here, too, is extremely important informative role of the media and it would correspondingly high with their cautions wypozycjonowały on Google. And while the threats from Lifemedia often we only get emails from people who got phone instead ordered them to sell some of Singapore, keep in mind that you, journalists, and protects in this matter, among others, press law. And our team of lawyers.

I deliberately do not link to the store Goophone. I do not want to help search engines reach him.

My job is to inform customers that offer this store is based on the fakes, and all elements of visual identification Apple and Samsung have been used unlawfully.
