Blue Fakes (swiss replica watch on-line store) is a complete scam! I agree with most of everyone else's posts! Stupidly, I ordered a "Swiss Ebel 240" for $550 over the Internet. Within a day I received an e-mail from
[email protected] asking me to return their call to confirm my purchase. When I called the number in the e-mail (347) 421-3837, 'Anthony" answered and stated that they no longer did credit card transactions due to some b*s**t reason. He asked if I would do COD. At first I said no thanks and hung up. Why I called back I do not know! When I called him back, he took my info, gave me a 10% discount and shipped it overnight FEDEX for free. My total bill was $495 and I thought, ok...he seems nice !
The next morning I picked up my required "postal money order" and waited with excitement! When FedEx showed up, I should have opened the package first...but I didn't. When I did, I was looking at a fake Cartier with no packaging...just a plastic sleeve....no receipt and no return info. I promptly pulled my order off my e-mail and called back "Anthony". He was evasive, did not remember me, was perplexed how I got the wrong order...and stated that my order must have been crossed with someone else's! He pretended to take down my info, and said that he would have "shipping" check into it and get back to me within a day. I said that I was very curious how a watch that they don't even sell on their website got "crossed" with my order. No answer for that.
Being the trusting fool I am, I gave them the day to get back to me. Five days later, no calls from "shipping" have come in! My subsequent 4 phone calls have been ignored, as have my e-mails and voice mails. They only answer the phone when they are taking new orders!!!!!
The watch I received is a knock off Cartier Tank Francaise in stainless steel, with roman numerals and nice "mossanite diamonds" on the sides. All in all it is not bad, but is it the "swiss made" quality that I paid for or is it of a lesser quality and therefore worth more like $100? I am betting that I overpaid for what is actually just a snappy looking Seiko. I just wish I knew. We are five days in and it is still keeping time! In my last voice mail to Anthony, I left a message asking for him to let me know if I was getting screwed, so that at least I could take the plastic off and enjoy it. No response!
I am the fool for thinking that there are actually gradations/levels for fakes! A fake is a fake! Much like the timepiece I received, the owners of bluefakes are fake as well. Is it too much to ask that rip off artists make a good ripoff and stand by it? It is an oxymoronic fantasy at best!
Buyer beware! These companies are like cancer, they divide and morph! I believe that bluefakes has multiple faces/fronts/websites and I believe that they also are behind the fabricated "replica review" site called replica center. I ordered from bluefakes.com, got a confirmation e-mail from
[email protected] and then had to make my COD money order out to MPT Company. Again, I am a hopeful idiot!
I wish that I had done more research, but it is what it is, and I am in charge of my choices and my consequences. That being said, I am a real estate broker in Illinois and have sold three FBI agents homes in the last year. I will take this to them and let them add my complaint to the list. As I understand it, the city of New York has some 130+ complaints filed just for the name blue fakes alone...think about that! It doesn't even include all their other b* s**t front names!
Food for thought (for myself as well): If there wasn't a market/consumer for "fake anything", then no one would sell it. That being said, Anthony and his family would still find something else to rip us off with. Maybe they would start selling fakes as the real thing? Maybe they already have?
Good luck! Don't beat yourselves up! Personally, I am punishing myself by giving up Starbucks until I make up the difference between what I thought I bought and what I got. I am probably out $400, so, at $4-5 a coffee, I will be whole again in about 3 months.
