I SAW A SCAM LIKE THIS ON TV WHERE MEMBERS OF UKRAINIAN OR RUSSIAN ORGANIZED CRIME WOULD IMPORT DESIGNER EMBLEMS FROM ONE PLACE IN CHINA AND THE BASIC PURSES, ETC. AND THEN THEY WOULD RENT A WAREHOUSE SOMEWHERE IN NEW YORK AND ASSEMBLE THE GOODS -- PUT THE FAKE DESIGNED LOGOS ON THE PURSES, ETC. AND SELL THEM TO THE UNINFORMED AS THE REAL DEAL WHEN THEY WERE JUST CHEAPLY CONSTRUCTED FAKES. A DESIGNER PURSE THAT COSTS MAYBE $5 TO ASSEMBLE COMPLETE WITH PARTS FOR $500-$100 AND MAYBE MORE....COUNTERFEIT SCAM. I WONDER IF THIS GUY IS REALLY ITALIAN OR FROM ONE OF THOSE EAST EUROPEAN GANGS. JUST OUT OF CURIOSITY. I WONDER HOW MUCH IT COST HIM FOR EACH ONE OF THOSE LEATHER JACKETS IF HE COULD LET YOU HAVE ALL THREE OF THEM FOR $120 AND STILL MADE A PROFIT! MAYBE HE STOLE THEM????? THIS IS A NEW VARIATION OF AN OLD CLOTHES BOOSTING SCHEME...
