Are they selling Phantom off? - misterpete - 11-Nov-2018 What is all this about? https://www.starlooke.com/products/gold-speaker-high-end-wireless-speaker-4500-watts-108-db RE: Are they selling Phantom off? - Bbnsound - 11-Nov-2018 That's obviously not a real Devialet Phantom...

No, but the gif loop, dimensional drawings, text description and photos ar the bottom are obviously lifted from the Devialet site and contain references to ADH. Some of the reviews mention the words "Devialet", "Spark", "Dialogue" and "Phantom". Naughty eh? RE: Are they selling Phantom off? - chrisc - 11-Nov-2018 Yet another Chinese fake A really bad news fake which surfaced here were fake Duracell AA and AAA batteries. Many people fitted these in fairly expensive items (like a wireless alarm device) to find they began leaking badly within a few months The fakes were indistinguishable from the original and were being sold at street markets. It took Customs and Excise several years to arrest one importer. By then the damage had been done and Duracell, which hitherto had been a dependable brand, lost a great deal of market share It should have been obvious to consumers that there should have been a specific reason that a known brand of battery was suddenly available at a 60% discount. I have seen batteries sitting in the sun, leaking in the wrapper RE: Are they selling Phantom off? - Bbnsound - 11-Nov-2018 (11-Nov-2018, 02:15)Axel Wrote:(11-Nov-2018, 00:43)Bbnsound Wrote: That's obviously not a real Devialet Phantom... Indeed naughty. But be sure, non of these reviews are real. Neither these drawings are real. It's just a very bad fake; very likely from China.

Also, the product description is a word for word lift from the Amazon.com site.(11-Nov-2018, 02:15)Axel Wrote:(11-Nov-2018, 00:43)Bbnsound Wrote: That's obviously not a real Devialet Phantom... But no matter. This company, who have an office in Lewisham, London are treading on thin ice. What makes me laugh is the wording under the heading: Intellectual Property Rights, at the bottom of the advert page. They are asking to get sued. RE: Are they selling Phantom off? - Damon - 12-Nov-2018 Devialet has a had a notice on their website for some time about these phoney phantoms. I certainly hope that they do not sell a single one. I hope also they get hit hard, with a sizeable hammer. Figuratively speaking, of course. RE: Are they selling Phantom off? - JohnnySix - 12-Nov-2018 Brilliant! I've always wanted five Gold Phantoms for a killer Surround system. <Scribble-Scribble>. Pay cheque: "CASH" to Starlooke. RE: Are they selling Phantom off? - Jamington2004 - 12-Nov-2018 Ha - love it! I am tempted to buy one - it’s got a 2 year guarantee after all Love the fact they have a special menu option called “intellectual property rights “In the event of any concerns or complaints about possible violation of intellectual property rights, please send us an email at [email protected] , identifying with specificity the rights alleged to be violated and the accused product(s).” Maybe that’s why they had to somehow make it look the same but utterly shit at the same time? RE: Are they selling Phantom off? - JohnnySix - 13-Nov-2018 In response to Damon: although you'd need a sizeable hammer to completely wreck a real Phantom, I think these Starlooke ones would crumple under one strike from a child's plastic toy hammer. |
