Just curious about the photos on the site. Do you think they are stolen photos of real watches or of the actual fake? If they are stolen photos then it should be real easy to shut down that crap.

Mostly stolen photos

well i am astonished that such a large corporation like care sales.com.au would be associated with such products, we need to shut them down, anything i can do to help count me in eg. if a compliant letter is needed etc.

I just received this reply after my report

And thereby underwrite the counterfeit industry. Sorry, but this is a very poor strategy. You starve this thing, not feed it.

[chicfarmer1]

I missed the not paying for part, sorry.

This sounds like a terrible site, but I don't know that you or anyone can be effective in ramming it on an individual basis. I agree that it's more likely to have results if you deal with govt. and private consumer protection agencies/counterfeit prosecution.

[cajunron]

way to go Michael! Harass the CRAP out of those idiots! I'll see what I can do on my end.
