Club Factory Is Selling Fake Products, Officially? Investigation Reveals Fake Watches, Shoes, Sun Glasses & More
It seems like the Chinese e-commerce company Club Factory is treading literally on thin ice. It has been noted that the Chinese company is selling counterfeit products on its platform, claiming it to be “high quality”, as a desperate attempt to establish a tight footfall in the fiercely competitive Indian e-commerce market.
Over the past 5-6 months the firm has been labelling fake products across categories such as cosmetics, watches, perfumes and footwear as “CF Verified” to garner the trust of the buyer, an investigation on the same reveals.
After constant run-ins with the Indian Customs and GST authorities, Club Factory has some nerve to go ahead and stock its platform with bulks of wide range counterfeit products.
No doubt the Indian e-commerce market is highly fierce and competitive but such an approach to seep into the market doesn’t bring up a gree flag for Club Factory, or so it appears.
A quick search on the app reveals about 20 listings for fake “Titan” watches, with discounts as high as 86%. A watch, retailed originally at Rs 3499 is being offered for as low as Rs 699 on the platform.
