    Whenever buying brand name goods online always check the official webites for a list of official retailers. If you're still not sure, go to the site you want to buy from and check out their contact details, it'll be obvious if they're fake if the contact email is a Gmail account, company registered in China, or no contact details at all.

    Pity you got caught out, but it'll make you more cautious in the future!

    usually you can tell by the price of the item,if its less than half the price you would normally pay then chances are its a fake

    The ONLY way to buy official Abercrombie is either on their own official website or in one of their stores. They have an entire section on their website about their brand protection.
    Did you REALLY think you were going to get real Abercrombie from some other site for €81 when they're €180+ on the official site?
    Use your head.

    Call your credit card company tell them it is fake and you want the transaction re reserved.
