Copycat Apple Website Wreak Havoc

   Catch the iPhone ride. Bluff and deceive Consumer


Just take the iPhone edge and make money. From the production of highly imitated iPhone mobile phones to the sales of copycat Apple websites, to the recommendation of the search sites, and the blessing of iPhone, Shanzhai mobile phones again form an attractive chain of "Shanzhai apples", while irrational consumers become the eyes of dishonest businessmen. Lamb "


  1800 yuan to buy back " Shanzhai IPhone "


Recently, Mr. Wang wanted to buy a mobile phone. When he entered "Baidu mobile" in the Baidu search box, he was surprised by the recommendation website given by the "promotion link" location. Mr. Wang said, "a total of 3 promotional links, including 2 websites are problematic. The website is designed to imitate Apple Corp, but the products sold are also very Shanzhai, which is not reliable at all." Mr. Wang said that he is a IT practitioner, so he is more proficient in mobile phone products and can see the tricks of these websites at a glance. For ordinary consumers, it is hard to say whether they will be fooled.


By contrast, Mr. Wang in Hefei, Anhui is not so lucky. In July 21st, Mr. Wang went to the www.518iphone.net website through a pop up advertisement on the portals. After being attracted by the content of the website, he called the customer service telephone provided by the website. The other side insisted that it was "real apple mobile phone", and Mr. Wang had paid 1800 yuan for this purpose. But when he got his cell phone, he could not help startled that it was obviously not a iPhone phone. Helpless, Mr. Wang had to contact customer service again, customer service said that it could be returned, but it must be sent back to the phone and check it intact. This time, Mr. Wang, who had once suffered a loss, did not dare to send his mobile phone back. He was afraid that even then there would be no cell phone, and 1800 yuan would be wasted.


   Advertising costs come from profiteering.


In order to prove that the two consumers said, reporters immediately log on to Baidu website, and enter "iPhone mobile phone", "3G phone", "dual-mode dual standby" and other consumers to search for the most common keywords when purchasing mobile phones. At the top of the search results page, there are many web sites. In addition to Wang's www.518iphone.net website, there are many other Shanzhai websites, such as www.66iphone.com and www.llk56.com.


A Baidu Shanghai agent told reporters that if we put these key words related to "mobile phone" on Baidu, we will invest more than 1000 yuan per day.


Reporters found that the common feature of these problems is that they all claimed to sell Apple phones, the website design imitated the official website of Apple Corp, and directly quoted a large number of pictures and texts on Apple's official website. You Yunting, a partner of Shanghai Da Bang law firm (micro-blog), analyzed that Apple Corp's trademark and iPhone real machine pictures were infringed on Apple Corp's trademark rights and copyright. Even without the above content, Apple's official website was modeled on the design style, which was also suspected of violating the anti unfair competition law. It can be seen that these websites are "Shanzhai apple" websites.


A mobile phone insider, who declined to be named, said: "apple and iPhone are indeed hot spots. Almost all Shanzhai mobile phones have taken the ride. Of course, there are" Shanzhai "NOKIA X series, but more than 90% are apple like. In addition, the person also revealed that the reason why these websites are able to advertise in search engines such as Baidu is that the production costs of these cottage phones are very low, basically within 500 yuan. "This account is very good. If you can sell your mobile phone to consumers for 1500 yuan, a mobile phone can earn 1000 yuan, which is the price of a popular keyword in a day. Just imagine, it's not a hard thing to spend a day fooling around. " {page_break}


   Suspected fraud consumers


Reporters then called the 400 sales calls on these websites, all customer service personnel without exception, they all called themselves selling "Taiwan version" or "Hong Kong version" Apple phone, "absolutely true goods, not Shanzhai", and mobile phone prices ranging from 1280 yuan to 1900 yuan. Among them, the "518iphone website" customer service personnel is on the phone, that is, "self reported home", "Hello, Apple phone......"


In addition, in order to win consumer trust, the "66iphone website" homepage is also listed below the "China integrity enterprise association", "China Quality Certification Center" and other certification marks. However, the China Quality Certification Center staff told reporters that the center generally only authenticates the products, does not authenticate the website or merchants, "put the center LOGO under the website, so we do not adopt this form in general."


You Yunting said that if the seller really claimed to sell the genuine "iPhone", it constituted a fraud consumer behavior, and consumers could claim double damages, that is, we know "fake one penalty one". As for the sellers, there are huge criminal risks besides the civil compensation and the risk of fines imposed by the administrative departments.


  Copycat advertising Raging Various media platforms


Copycat Apple website wreak havoc Internet This is just one of the main channels for the sale of cottage machines. From TV shopping, pop-up ads to videos, SNS websites, and even the most stringent media censorship in advertising, almost all advertisements like "copycat Apple Mobile" and "copycat iPhone" have appeared.


Some of its advertising words are bold enough to be called "genuine iPhone", but also ambiguous. It is said that the apple mobile phone is a certain version. In fact, these are often cottage mobile phones, which are not at all regular sale of domestic mobile phones, because the appearance of its highly imitated mobile phones is obviously unable to detect through the network of the Ministry of industry and information technology. That is to say, its sales behavior is illegal.


Here again remind consumers to buy mobile phones not to covet cheap. If you want to buy large items such as mobile phones through your own unfamiliar network channels. You Yunting counsel suggested that consumers should maintain their network communication information with sellers, online banking or Alipay payment records, and courier orders before buying them, as evidences of rights protection, and, if necessary, file lawsuits against illegal businesses against the court.
