    Hi all

    Usually I am good at spotting online dodgy deals but I came across this just now and it's hard to tell.

    The guy has recieved 2 positive feedback from people who seem genuine but the listing isn't written very well.

    Opinions?

    Scam alert 1: Item location: 滨洲, 山東省, Ireland (Anything from Asia on Ebay is fake, true more often then not)
    Scam alert 2: User name: qusvfkpb (random letters, a real store would not do this)

    Feedback seem honest but why can't he tell you which colors are available? Once again, I'd take a long step back from that one.

    There's definitely something not right with this. He's advertising as Polo Lacoste, but Polo and Lacoste are not the same thing. Polo is Ralph Lauren's, and nothing to do with Lacoste. He also has TM next to the words cotton and shirt, which is just daft.

    Some sort of knock offs, imitations, stolen or otherwise illegally obtained would be my guess. He may be trying to build up a good reputation for a week or two, then scarper with with any sales after that once the good feedback is achieved. Who knows. I would stay away.

    First time I ever saw a Ralph Lauren shirt described as "small pony cotton shirt"

    I was in China and saw loads of fakes like these, the quality is not great, I would head to dunnes instead they have good prices on all t-shirts & polo shirts etc at the moment, and probably a lot better quality.

    Another problem is fakes, I have a few XL shirts from China which would be mediums or small here.
