1800 dollars to buy back "fake iphone"

Recently, Mr. Wang wants to buy a mobile phone. When he entered the "IPhone" in the Baidu search box, the top "promotional link" location given by the recommendation of the site surprised him. Wang said, "A total of 3 promotional links, of which 2 sites have problems, web design imitation Apple does not say that the sale of goods are very cottage, is not reliable." Mr Wang said that he is an IT employee, so the handset product is more proficient, can see through these website's trick at a glance, but for the general consumer, it is hard to say will be fooled.

In contrast, Mr. Wang of Anhui Hefei is not so good luck. July 21, Mr. Wang through a portal site pop-up ads login Www.518iphone.net site, was attracted by the content of the site, he dialed the site to provide customer service calls, the other party insists that the "real Apple phone", the appeal of Mr Wang to pay 1800 yuan for this.

Advertising fees come from sales profiteering

To prove that two of consumers said, reporter immediately login Baidu website, and input "IPhone", "3G mobile Phone", "double mode double treat" and other consumers usually buy mobile phone when the most common keyword search, the search results page at the top of the "Promotion link" location is indeed a lot of problems site, In addition to Mr. Wang met the Www.518iphone.net website impressively in the column, www.66iphone.com, www.llk56.com and other many other shanzhai sites numerous.

A Baidu Shanghai agent told reporters that if the Baidu on the launch of these and "mobile phone" Related keywords, "the country-wide delivery, estimated to spend more than thousand yuan per day." ”

The reporter found that the common characteristics of these sites are that they all claim to sell Apple handsets, website design Imitation Apple's official website, and directly cite a large number of Apple official online graphics and text content. Yunting, a partner lawyer at the Big Bang law firm in Shanghai, analyzes if there is an Apple logo on these sites, the iphone is a picture of the real machine, then the infringement of Apple's trademark and copyright, even if there is no more than the content, in the design style of imitation of the official Apple website, also suspected of violating the " Anti-Unfair Competition Act. It can be seen that these sites are called "Cottage apple" sites, not at all.

An unnamed mobile phone industry personage said, "Apple, the iphone is indeed the current hot spot, almost all mobile phones have boarded the ride, of course, there are ' Shanzhai ' Nokia X series, but more than 90% or imitation apple." In addition, the person revealed that the reason why these sites can be big in Baidu search engines such as advertising, because the production cost of these mobile phones is very low, basically within 500 yuan, "This account is very good, if the mobile phone to 1500 yuan to consumers, a mobile phone can earn 1000 yuan, That is, a hot keyword for the day of the launch price. Just imagine that a day of spending is not a difficult thing to do. ”

Suspected fraudulent consumers

The reporter then dials these websites the 400 sales telephone, all customer service personnel all said that the sale is "the ' Taiwan Version ' or ' The port version ' the Apple handset", "is definitely the real goods, is not the cottage", but the handset price from 1280 yuan to 1900 yuan. Among them, "518iphone site" customer service staff is in the phone call when the "introduced", "Hello, Apple mobile phone ..."

In addition, in order to win the consumer trust, the "66iphone website" homepage is also listed below a series of "China Integrity Enterprise Association", "China Quality Certification Center" and other qualification certification identification. However, China Quality Certification center staff to reporters that the center generally only product certification, not the website or business certification, "The center logo placed under the site, such a form generally we do not use." ”

Yunting said that if the seller does claim to sell the genuine "iPhone", it constitutes a fraudulent consumer behavior, consumers can claim double the loss of compensation, that we are familiar with the "false one penalty one." But for the sellers, in addition to face the civil compensation and the administrative department of Fine risk, there is a huge criminal risk.
