More Fake Convoys from Gearbest.

But you knew that was likely, didn’t you?

If the idea is to keep buying stuff that’s probably bad for the fun of complaining about it, well, good for you, somebody ought to be patrolling to control China and it sure ain’t me ….

Can you do anything about their national boundaries problem? Seems Chinese kilometers have the same issue as Chinese lumens, they’re bigger than anybody else’s ….

Same here.

Thank you to all regarding how to post pics. Most appreciated.

I have opened a ticket and will polish the PayPal hammer.

One other thing I noticed the convoy logo is upside down. I know people will say ‘duh turn the torch around’. But I have noticed all convoys are printed lens facing left, this is not. And the logo is a little too big for the space provided.

Hank, if I new I would get a fake I would not have ordered one, of course.

Marc.

The other fake Convoys sold by GB were not a clear sign, were they? Please let us know how this resolves please.

Hmmm…have three Convoy C8 (4c)on it’s way from Gearbest.com, also three red C2+ (+ the two I have at home now) will check if they look like the picture in this thread.

No they were a clear sign, but mine was on it’s way from China when we found out.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing, isn’t it?

Hey op, how much did you pay for that fake? I will refund you the whole amount but please delete this thread ( wink2x)

Here’s an example of how to check whether this week’s batch of any particular kind of light from any big seller might be fake.

Just as an example: Search results for '' - BudgetLightForum.com

Put in the seller’s name, the claimed product’s name, and words like fake, counterfeit, crap, junk ….

If anyone has reported it, it’ll appear in the search results.

Then — important — sort by date to see newest at the top.

Remember China stuff isn’t a single producer with a single production line and a knowledgeable group of employees.
We get bunches and batches — likely overruns and leftovers or —- my guess — stuff including quality control rejects from big business or military batches.

You never know what you’ll get.
They never know what they’re buying from their suppliers, they don’t ask.
They may never even handle the stuff they’re advertising for sale.
The support person you talk to isn’t told anything about any of this.

Life is like that, these days.

No way man! The thread stays. :wink:

This can be summed up like this

How to identify:

There is one thing worth noting, as far as I am aware Gearbest is an authorised seller for Convoy. So maybe Simon should simply stop supplying them. Then if we see a convoy on GEARBEST it will be a fake. He is only damaging his reputation as all the people who are not in the know will be thinking convoy are just a crap light like ultrafire.

Bingo! Mine is the one on the left, for sure.

I thought buy one tonight, but… purchase canceled.

Thanks!!

So this C2+ is fake then, from Gearbest.com:

quick!
delete that post!!
they pay you for that… :wink:

.

@DanielM
bingo!

Yes.

Mine from Gearbest.com looks like this

Yes it’s fake.

Does GB real 2+ version comes with gift box?
