0 deactivated170812 Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 China, the land of fakes. Obviously they fake everything - gadgets, clothes, cars, webpages,... Hopefully, Newegg will take legal actions. Not that it would help, but it's a start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 BoneyardBrew Member Posted September 14, 2010 Member Share Posted September 14, 2010 I noticed that immediately. The same thing happened with Razer, too. The Chinese company even designed a mouse that looked just like one of Razer's and advertised it all over the site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 LiquidSolstice Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Figures that only a Chinese ripoff service will use something like WLM to communicate with its customers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 sweetsam Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 This is pretty usual for them. It applies all the way from websites to nuclear weapons. Where do you think they get their weapon designs from ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Frylock86 Posted September 14, 2010 Author Share Posted September 14, 2010 Strange thing too is that Firefox is telling me the server is located in Dallas, Texas. Look at the bottom left of my image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 treemonster Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 what's strange is there a chinese version of newegg(you can navigate there through a link on newegg.com) and it has actual chinese text and all that. also that the screenshot has prices in euros, makes me think it's more likely this is a russian or eastern european knock off, rather than chinese.

If you go to the about part of the page, it gives you a Chinese address and phone number. Although I would steer clear of the page now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
