The principle of “joke” is simple – an ordinary, nameless, and therefore cheap Chinese part is bought, which is transported by freight car from the Celestial Empire to Russia. After that, already in our latitudes, a beautiful branded box is printed for it and decorated with a cellophane cover. Expensive rich! Even 10 years ago this would have been enough, but today (thanks to the World Wide Web) a “simpleton” unfolds the packaging that is already in stores: he knows that something completely different can be hidden under it. We don’t care about copyrights!
Therefore, on cheap Chinese plastic – whether it is a filter, a box, a pipe, a battery, an overlay or molding, a block or a relay, a stove fan or something else – the name and article of a famous brand are carved with a laser engraver. We open it and everything is beautiful there. Fathers are holy, the original: you have to take it! So, a laser engraver, the cost of which on a market day does not exceed 100,000 rubles, turns Chinese consumer goods into an original and expensive spare part. Craftsmanship and no cheating!
How to define cheating? Yes, it’s very simple: big brands and world famous manufacturers, whose name is a guarantee of quality, have long ceased to engrave details, but pour their logos when printing. In other words, there is a bas-relief on the original, which can be felt with the fingers. And although masters and scammers have not mastered 3D printers, this life hack will allow you to calculate a fake and save your wallet. To enjoy!
