Consumer series with Matt Allwright. Stories include the fake car airbags that can kill, and the counterfeit car number plates that could get you arrested.
yeah well the real companies spent a lot on research and development. Usually theyre higher quality which makes the cost go up. Some shit is a rip off yeah but there are reasons it costs more
***** I say what i said to keith nagle DO YOU UNDERSTAND MONEY, COMPANIES CANNOT AFFORD IT, THEN COUNTERFEITERS WILL TAKE TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS, CATCH 22 YOU WILL ALWAYS HAVE FAKERS.
In the USA, all license plates are issued directly by the various state governments. I was really surprised to discover when I first visited Britain in 1976 that you got plates from individual private stores. I wondered why people didn't get fake plates all the time.
cause in the UK if you get a number plate you are supposed to produce your car registration document . that's why you should only be able to get them made by a company that is registered with the DVLA. In Denmark number plates are only issued at the tax office.
As far as BMW doing tests does anyone remember a few years back that watchdog investigated why genuine BMW wheels were cracking consistantly ? BMW's reply was that the british roads are to harsh for them..............short memorys some people and another thing, never had a replica wheel crack !
Is there any cases after a separation women/ex-wife actually pay for the man/ex-husband? All I hear is women getting the children and plus money in almost all divorce cases. I think that is very intriguing. I thought women have EQUAL rights in the Western world, not extra privileges.
Yes, they expect to be paid the same as men yet (based on 30 years of experience of working in environments with women) they spend 30% of the time gas bagging and not getting anything done. Several jobs I had required some lifting, none of the women would do the lifting, all the men did the heavy work.
Ha, reminds me of a delivery I made other week, 1 ton of dog food to a shop, dragged the pallet around the back and she opens the door and says it all needs to be stacked in this shed.. I refused as I don't have to and she said "so you're going to make a woman do it?" Why would she order 1ton of dog food through a kerbside delivery service and not expect to have to move the stuff?
Yes go to a manufacturers main dealer and pay 100's for a genuine airbag. Granted you can't put a price on safety, but if dealers didn't charge so much money for them, people wouldn't be tempted by cheaper parts just to pass MOT's
+Buano Taquito I never said that. What I said was that cheaper alternatives will appeal more to people if they can't afford a genuine airbag, but don't know the consequences of cheap air bags. I think more people would choose OEM if the prices weren't as high as they are. I get that they're not cheap to manufacturer, but when you consider how important airbags are to saving lives, I believe that encouraging people to replace with OEM should be more important than the profit made on selling them
A lot of cars only have a drivers airbag. So are you saying that unless you buy an expensive car with air bags all over, you don't care about your family?
Problem is Mr Honda representative, your parts are too expensive, if you want to kill the counterfeit trade then undercut the counterfeiters... simple really.
A E S T H E T I C 生活のための Ummmm, most of the time they are coming from the same supplier of parts... Lower prices squeezes out the fakers, its that simple.
3:49 One huge reason not to drive a Honda is that if you crash, you might end up looking like Rimmer from Red Dwarf with an 'H' branded into your forehead.
I've always considered airbags to be a mixed blessing. Pull your seat belt up tight, and this stops you flying forward. I've had several collisions while rally driving and the belt (especially full harness) works the magic. Also, the airbag compromises you controlling the vehicle as the impact develops.
First time to watch this show and loved it! It make me wonder why the countries that ignore Intellectual property, Trademarks, and product registrations invalid and support the Fake market as a legitimate business and source of income to their economy. For example. A large Asian company not only does fails to enforce counterfeit laws, the finace free, or dramatically discounted shipping cost to target nations. So they are responsible by collaboration. So all countries have to screen a large percentage of their imports creating expenses such as inspectors and storage of the counterfeit goods. Why not hold that country of origin responsible for those expenses with fines and cost to return them to the country of origin and make them pay the disposal cost? Should they not pay their fines, stop all imports from off loading until their fines are paid. Too Simple? As it is they are not controlling their exports ( No expense) When Caught the get free storage (no expense) and destroy the local market yet still grow their economy (high expense for the target market) So they can dump waste material all over the world with no penalties, Steal economic markets with fake goods, continue to invest in higher quality fakes that are harming our people and home businesses, yet can depend on their country to protect the criminals and free services like shipping, storage and disposal for the fakes that are detected. So in summary, they are facilitating economic theft, involved in the distribution, benefiting from the income. It is time to fine them and stop the unloading of all their "goods"until the fines are paid and charging storage fees for counterfit goods while returning ships return the garbage to their country of origin for environmentally responsible disposal.after being rendered unmarketable for resale. This can be done by any country with laws and their economy will grow again. No laws towards any individual country, All of the counterfeiting countries will be held accountable for their intentional failures to respect other countries economy, and their support of organized crime.
Gummy Bear Such an easy answer, simple for a very naive person. #1-Those who copy haven't spend a penny to research, buy a paten,t employ engineers to create the products. #2-Copies use poor quality parts, they can't use quality parts and still undercut the real thing. #3- copycats have no liability insurance, no patents, employ no sales people or attorneys saving huge amounts of money. #4-, The knockoffs are made in plants that meet NO environmental standards, they don't care for their employees, nor do they hire well qualified people, they hire anyone who wants a job so badly they will work for very little. Do you really think that the buyer gets a good deal by buying knockoffs that are cheaper but of terrible quality?
Bobby Paluga all i hear is excuses. Toyota ask for a hand out $ to keep cars made in Australia yet the hand out wasn't even 1 years advertising budget for them. plenty of cost savings could be made to include cheaper air bags for replacements.
Gummy Bear it's not that easy, fakers usually use lower quality party and assemble them in some chinese sweatshop, while I have no qualms buying fake watches or designer clothes I wouldn't trust a fake airbag
There are dozens of companies doing this and trading standards are too busy in certain areas of the company to do anything about it. They are more concerned with doorstep crime.
If manufacturers are so concerned about the safety of counterfeit parts why don't they stop ripping people off with the retail cost of "genuine" parts.
At the Honda dealership I work for, they either install Honda parts or Napa parts. Occasionally they will install a junkyard part with the owners knowledge. They don't ALWAYS install Honda parts unless there is a recall.
The British cops are so polite, a suspect tells them to get their hands off him after he has been arrested and the cop doesn't do anything. In the US that would get you a beatdown for contempt of Cop...
wtf. I'm not paying a Volvo dealer £50 for a plate for my new trailer. So, I will buy a cheap one off the Internet. Where's the crime in that? Also, wtf are the police doing investigating copyright infringement. they work for the people, not the companies or councils.
electricsilver No, they DON'T work for us, the people. The police serve the government, banks and corporations, that is why they always turn out in numbers for protests, yet cannot spare anyone if your house is being burgled. They have dedicated teams of cops for nothing other than fake goods, etc. WHY would that be? If I bought a fake CD for £1 it is because I KNOW it is fake and I only want to pay a quid, not because I can't recognise a fake product.
ukpropaganda 100% agree with you. My irony was somewhat lost in the text. The police are OUR servants, yet as you rightly say they are now only interested in corporate profit and interests.
Unfortunately, I agree with you. It IS whoever pays the most, gets the protection. My council tax bill shows a breakdown of the services I pay for; fire, police etc., yet as you say, the companies pay more therefore get to chooses the rules. So to update my original post. I did NOT pay Volvo the £55 they requested for a trailer plate. I paid £8 on eBay. Should I expect a knock at the door?
Apart from some quasi government department telling us it is "illegal" to make a flat yellow plate and print MY details at MY request upon it: what law has actually been broken? These "laws" are put in place to keep the corporate fat cats rich. You need to understand WHY these laws are implemented in the first place. Not simply bow-down because they say so. I think it is YOU that needs a few lessons on the concepts of law, morality and ethics. I'm sure if this goes on long enough, Godwin's Law can be invoked (look it up - councillor.)
Oh dear - you've gone off topic. The example you gave could happen regardless of it being legal OR illegal. I'm talking about MY right to purchase a plate for MY car. AGAIN, where is the crime? except in the eyes of the quasi dvla, who lobbied for this to be a "crime" to line their pockets even further. And yes, I would cry for "injustice in a heartbeat" because THAT would be a "crime". THAT is what I pay for in my taxes. Twice now, you've made reference to the fact that the richer you are, the more "right's" you have. It's quite shameful, that the majority can't be afforded any justice because individually they pay less tax, but on a percentage of their salaries, probably pay a damn sight more. I'm bored now - and you're "blocked". Let's just say I won that argument hands down. 😂
the real crime is taking over 60% of a mans gross pay. he would be better off being nice to her taking her on a nice holiday trip on a boat then throwing her over.
Interesting how the woman always gets custody and the man is left paying. She gets the gold mine and he gets the shaft, and the government condones it. Hell, here in the US, a woman could be sitting on the courthouse steps doing crack and she'd get custody.
The trouble is it's not only car parts that are being faked, aircraft parts are finding there way into major airline workshops, via wholesalers, truck drivers etc. Having worked around Asia not all of the merchandise offered is not fake, it's over runs made after hours and at night. There is also the genuine stuff that's stolen.
From this video there is one conclussion: You can manufacture and distribute those conterfeit parts because in UK nobody bother to chase, capture and to get you to court. You will definitely avoid the responsibility for spreading those fake parts and nothing will happen to you. There is also question for having remorses if something bad happen to whoever bnought them but.... I never met anyone in UK who has a remorses for deliberate acts to gain profits and instaed, people are brilliant in producting excuses.
Defective Takata airbags have been linked to 24 deaths worldwide (17 in the United States) and at least 240 people have reportedly been injured because of a defective Takata airbag as of February 2018, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and media reports.
I've known people who were injured due to the deployment of factory air bags. So, it seems that the "fake" ones are doing the same thing as the "real" ones. Of course, the best solution is to just not get into an accident in the first place. :)
I can see the airbags and possibly the wheels being a problem, the pills too... but if the DVDs and Golf Clubs are low enough priced and function, boo hoo multi million dollar companies miss out of a few sales and someone who can't afford it gets something that functions probably fairly well. A few years back, I ended up with a counterfeit DVD for some B-Grade 80s movie from an Amazon seller (they got taken down shortly after, and I was refunded my 2 bucks + shipping fees) and didn't even realize it was fake even when I went and hunted down the real, actual DVD. There were no differences, other than the price. I saved 18 bucks (25 after I got refunded so in the end I got paid to watch the movie as the legitimate DVD was 20 bucks), the third party made a couple bucks in pocket change (obviously until they got busted), win-win situation.
EXACTLY - the only counterifiets I dislike are ones that threaten peoples saftey.... things like the ones you mentioned But the main reason they are so worried about this is becuase they arent getting their hands on the money. Ya really think their concern is our saftey?!!! lol. We arent getting to tax you, so we dont like it.... thats what it boils down to. They want everything to be registered and licienced etc etc so they can police you and tax you.
My ex got a judgement for me to pay 12k a month in child support. She uses most of it to sustain her own expensive lifestyle. Wish I could have had the guts to show less income, and the judge did not care about the money going mostly to her.
And crappy programs like this is why the UK public is too paranoid to take a shit in case it upsets some zealot with a little bit of power. Stuff like this should be ignored at all costs.
Morokei Its only every 15 years if not used, insurance claims will anyway cover it and it could be added to new car costs its minimal for safety Ford wanted £450 for my 98 fiesta which is outrageous for a £600 car
Most can be deactivated by the driver/owner of the vehicle, but it might automatically invalidate your auto insurance or make you liable in a wreck, or both.
Yay to the fake wage slip part. The guy was paying less than he was supposed to, sure. But after that? He paid nothing at all anymore! Because he had no job, and as a person who has been to jail, he probably will provide never again.
Thank _GOODNESS_ he caught those fake Little Mermaid DVDs, otherwise there would be _LOTS_ of happy children with parent's that have more money for food! *CRISIS AVERTED*
who cares if the nintendo ds is fake. Customer payed for it even if he gets a fake at least he gets something. I think the customer knows that the product is fake
This explains why I never got my fake number plate I ordered off of eBay years ago, there was a company in the UK selling on there for vanity plates for those of us not in the UK or EU, I ordered a German plate that said TAUNUS for my German 59 Ford Taunus and it never came and nobody would reply to me. I'm pretty sure it would not have caused problems here in Canada...
Interesting that in the UK private companies make the number plates (license plates here in the US), here in the US the plates are supplied by each individual state, and we get them from the DMV (department of motor vehicles) in the county you live in. Of course that doesn't really stop anyone from making fake plates, or more commonly here, someone ,might steal your plates before committing a crime.
nobody in their right mind would produce fake airbags as they could not enter the market on new cars. the airbags on the internet are from dismantled cars that are perfectly fine and original, trouble is that these airbags are a fraction of the stealership price
Would've been great at the end if they actually told us why the items they found in border control were counterfeit, rather than just telling us why they were 'high quality' counterfeits. That's basically been the most useless part of the show as it doesn't actually give us any information on how to find those fakes.
At 10 minutes Ruth Dray made the same mistake as a lot of women, assuming that a partnership is the equivalent to being married. Only marriage confers legal rights.
Surely the companies doing this on a bigger scale receive lower overheads per item than a guy in his garage. If they're charging £10-£20 a plate and making thousands a week for a small man operation, why do the larger companies need to charge £50 odd? I bought a motorcycle with a number plate made at the garage and the ink ran and it fell to bits in days of rain. I ordered one online for £8. It's well made, clean and has lasted 8 months, still looking new. And that site was taken down for not being legit. :-/
One aspects to keep in mind the program seems to ignore, is sometimes the items being sold are the real deal, and not fakes, but real stock stolen by the semitrailer load and sold over the Internet cheap.
"Even down to taking his driving lessons" wtf?? driving lessons are notoriously expensive, and most people don't pay for them until they really need a car. Also, he's underpaid by 12k, she's 25k in debt. So she'd still be in 13k in debt. And also he shouldn't have to pay all of the childcare costs, she should be paying half while he pays half.
And when she says "Brad can have the things he's missed out on", does she have any idea of managing money? She's 25k in debt, the first thing she should do with 12k is pay off her debt.
Someone has cloned our number plate and the criminal lives just 3 streets away! We have reported it to the police but are they doing anything about it? Sweet FA.
At 5:51 I burst out laughing because I thought he turned into a sausage! 😂😂😂😂
Super Trickshots! I was going to comment that
hahaha.. i thought exactly the same! xD
Super Trickshots! My thoughts exactly 😂😂😂
Victor Hopewave . Way too creepy, sausage man !
beat me to it
Be responsible with your PRICING! Once the Original Manufacturer stop cutting consumer's throat, than the knock-offs will stop. Period!
Correct
yeah well the real companies spent a lot on research and development. Usually theyre higher quality which makes the cost go up. Some shit is a rip off yeah but there are reasons it costs more
That and off-shoring, sub-contratcting, etc.

Lower the fucking prices for genuine parts and counterfeit items will disappear.

In the USA, all license plates are issued directly by the various state governments. I was really surprised to discover when I first visited Britain in 1976 that you got plates from individual private stores. I wondered why people didn't get fake plates all the time.
cause in the UK if you get a number plate you are supposed to produce your car registration document . that's why you should only be able to get them made by a company that is registered with the DVLA. In Denmark number plates are only issued at the tax office.
hebneh i was wondering y the second man let them in at all, no search warn no nothing I would even bother to talked to them. Second house fake plates
5:50 Here comes sausage man. LOL!!

Is there any cases after a separation women/ex-wife actually pay for the man/ex-husband? All I hear is women getting the children and plus money in almost all divorce cases. I think that is very intriguing. I thought women have EQUAL rights in the Western world, not extra privileges.
Yes, they expect to be paid the same as men yet (based on 30 years of experience of working in environments with women) they spend 30% of the time gas bagging and not getting anything done. Several jobs I had required some lifting, none of the women would do the lifting, all the men did the heavy work.
Ha, reminds me of a delivery I made other week, 1 ton of dog food to a shop, dragged the pallet around the back and she opens the door and says it all needs to be stacked in this shed.. I refused as I don't have to and she said "so you're going to make a woman do it?"
Why would she order 1ton of dog food through a kerbside delivery service and not expect to have to move the stuff?
Shit! I don't let the melon travel in the front seat anymore.
I like this series, thanks for the uploads.
Yes go to a manufacturers main dealer and pay 100's for a genuine airbag. Granted you can't put a price on safety, but if dealers didn't charge so much money for them, people wouldn't be tempted by cheaper parts just to pass MOT's
+Buano Taquito I never said that. What I said was that cheaper alternatives will appeal more to people if they can't afford a genuine airbag, but don't know the consequences of cheap air bags.

I get that they're not cheap to manufacturer, but when you consider how important airbags are to saving lives, I believe that encouraging people to replace with OEM should be more important than the profit made on selling them
Sorry, I wasn't talking to you. I meant the other guy. UA-cam replies are fucked up on chrome
A lot of cars only have a drivers airbag. So are you saying that unless you buy an expensive car with air bags all over, you don't care about your family?
I'm literally crying at 5:52, and looking at some comments they make it even funnier
Oh yeah! I wouldn't want a fake airbag. I want a good and dependable official, genuine Takata airbag. Yeah then I'll sleep safe.
Just buy a classic .. They have no airbags so no problems
Or go in there and remove the airbag and you won't have to worry about be injured by the *factory* air bags.
how did they know that all that stuff in the packages/parcels was fake??
Problem is Mr Honda representative, your parts are too expensive, if you want to kill the counterfeit trade then undercut the counterfeiters... simple really.
If only it were that easy.
One reason why the knockoffs are cheaper is because they use dangerously unsafe equipment.
A E S T H E T I C 生活のための Ummmm, most of the time they are coming from the same supplier of parts... Lower prices squeezes out the fakers, its that simple.
Mark Giblin
Except Like I fucking said, it's not that simple.
A E S T H E T I C 生活のための which then means the fakers will still rule the spare parts and other markets that have been faked.
***** Exactly! The knockoff parts are cheaper because they cut corners.
well if genuine shit wasent so expensive there wouldnt be so much fake shit going round
Helmut, whilst you make some sense, in the UK car dealer parts are legendary as being a total rip off.
Take printer cartridges for instance - fake/non brand ones cost 3x cheaper and offer the same shit.
CE11SCAN lol
3:49 One huge reason not to drive a Honda is that if you crash, you might end up looking like Rimmer from Red Dwarf with an 'H' branded into your forehead.
Thumbs up for the Rimmer joke, but not for being jealous of a world known brand ;s
I drive Hondas for years and never had much trouble with them !
now I want a Honda ....
Ha
Smeghead!
When he said
"When it comes to fake car parts" I got a *1000 Ways To Die* memory
Thanks for telling me how to get fake documents 😂
13:28 So he didn't pay his ex-wife £12k and now she's £25k in debt? Top budget management by the lady there ;-D
I wonder why he divorced her in the first place, eh? XD

Screw safety, I drive a 1986 Toyota mr2 mk1 and in has no abs, airbags, nothing
ST TV loved my aw11
ST TV Screw your life or medical bills then
Atleast not fake taxi
Plenty of fake airbags have been in the back of that thing though
There are dozens of companies doing this and trading standards are too busy in certain areas of the company to do anything about it. They are more concerned with doorstep crime.
Interesting shows coming from England.
I still like fake stuff to buy i don't care.
Good that my car is so old, it does not even have an airbag :)
The arrests are so civilized. In America the cops would pile up on the suspect while yelling " stop resisting" lol.
No, it would be done with a SWAT team, flash bangs, door battery Rams, guns drawn at 3am.
5:50 Talking Sausage!
Its simple to test what the material is in an alloy wheel. You just carry out a conductivity test.
5:51 He turns into a sausage!
My question is why does the UK Government Sub-Contract the making of License Plates to private companies? In America that is done by the government.
I love you so much right now platonically of course. Thanks for uploading 😘😘😘😘😘
wait the guy owns 12000 to the woman and she has 25000 dept wtf?
Yup
This why im never getting married, he probably paid the mortgage to hence why she ended up losing the house when she couldn't pay it herself
It's probably all the interest that has built up over time

Why do you replace the Airbag? If the car is so badly damaged that the Airbag is used the cars normally goes to the scrap yard.
It could go faulty or no airbag is fitted in the car.
Takata - which is also proof that genuine isn't necessarily safe either
Alan Lilja you can fix most cars if it’s just bumpers and panels, in accidents where the airbags go off
the real crime is taking over 60% of a mans gross pay. he would be better off being nice to her taking her on a nice holiday trip on a boat then throwing her over.
She loses £1600 and is in debt £25000 because if it? These numbers don't add up. £1600=/=£25000

From this video there is one conclussion: You can manufacture and distribute those conterfeit parts because in UK nobody bother to chase, capture and to get you to court. You will definitely avoid the responsibility for spreading those fake parts and nothing will happen to you. There is also question for having remorses if something bad happen to whoever bnought them but.... I never met anyone in UK who has a remorses for deliberate acts to gain profits and instaed, people are brilliant in producting excuses.
Defective Takata airbags have been linked to 24 deaths worldwide (17 in the United States) and at least 240 people have reportedly been injured because of a defective Takata airbag as of February 2018, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and media reports.

I've known people who were injured due to the deployment of factory air bags. So, it seems that the "fake" ones are doing the same thing as the "real" ones. Of course, the best solution is to just not get into an accident in the first place. :)
*Searches Honda Airbags* 'Results: Oil Filters'. Hmm, ok.'
It is better not to have an airbag than to have a fake airbag...
I can see the airbags and possibly the wheels being a problem, the pills too... but if the DVDs and Golf Clubs are low enough priced and function, boo hoo multi million dollar companies miss out of a few sales and someone who can't afford it gets something that functions probably fairly well. A few years back, I ended up with a counterfeit DVD for some B-Grade 80s movie from an Amazon seller (they got taken down shortly after, and I was refunded my 2 bucks + shipping fees) and didn't even realize it was fake even when I went and hunted down the real, actual DVD. There were no differences, other than the price. I saved 18 bucks (25 after I got refunded so in the end I got paid to watch the movie as the legitimate DVD was 20 bucks), the third party made a couple bucks in pocket change (obviously until they got busted), win-win situation.
EXACTLY - the only counterifiets I dislike are ones that threaten peoples saftey.... things like the ones you mentioned
But the main reason they are so worried about this is becuase they arent getting their hands on the money. Ya really think their concern is our saftey?!!! lol. We arent getting to tax you, so we dont like it.... thats what it boils down to. They want everything to be registered and licienced etc etc so they can police you and tax you.
My ex got a judgement for me to pay 12k a month in child support. She uses most of it to sustain her own expensive lifestyle. Wish I could have had the guts to show less income, and the judge did not care about the money going mostly to her.
And crappy programs like this is why the UK public is too paranoid to take a shit in case it upsets some zealot with a little bit of power. Stuff like this should be ignored at all costs.
simple solve ALL Airbags should be replaced by the manufacturer free of charge
And who will reimburse the manufacturer for that?
Morokei Its only every 15 years if not used, insurance claims will anyway cover it and it could be added to new car costs its minimal for safety Ford wanted £450 for my 98 fiesta which is outrageous for a £600 car
Damn. i don't want an airbag at all now. how do I take it out?
Most can be deactivated by the driver/owner of the vehicle, but it might automatically invalidate your auto insurance or make you liable in a wreck, or both.
Is it legal to drive on a fake plate as long as it's the real number of the vehicle?
Yay to the fake wage slip part. The guy was paying less than he was supposed to, sure. But after that? He paid nothing at all anymore! Because he had no job, and as a person who has been to jail, he probably will provide never again.
Many of the counterfeit parts have made their way into Honda F1 cars
Thank _GOODNESS_ he caught those fake Little Mermaid DVDs,
otherwise there would be _LOTS_ of happy children with parent's that have more money for food!
*CRISIS AVERTED*
who cares if the nintendo ds is fake. Customer payed for it even if he gets a fake at least he gets something. I think the customer knows that the product is fake
With the fake number plates, at least 99% of the time in Australia, our plates have the letters and numbers embossed into the metal.
That court building could also use some "maintenance"
This explains why I never got my fake number plate I ordered off of eBay years ago, there was a company in the UK selling on there for vanity plates for those of us not in the UK or EU, I ordered a German plate that said TAUNUS for my German 59 Ford Taunus and it never came and nobody would reply to me. I'm pretty sure it would not have caused problems here in Canada...
Interesting that in the UK private companies make the number plates (license plates here in the US), here in the US the plates are supplied by each individual state, and we get them from the DMV (department of motor vehicles) in the county you live in. Of course that doesn't really stop anyone from making fake plates, or more commonly here, someone ,might steal your plates before committing a crime.
nobody in their right mind would produce fake airbags as they could not enter the market on new cars. the airbags on the internet are from dismantled cars that are perfectly fine and original, trouble is that these airbags are a fraction of the stealership price
A TV show from Britain and they use footage from my local news station. I can't get away.
The penalty for all fraud and counterfeiting offenses should be death.
5:50 the talking sausage
The reason why fathers want to avoid paying child maintenance to the mother is because there is no guarantee on what that money is spent on.
Would've been great at the end if they actually told us why the items they found in border control were counterfeit, rather than just telling us why they were 'high quality' counterfeits. That's basically been the most useless part of the show as it doesn't actually give us any information on how to find those fakes.
so if the uggs have all the security features then how is it fake>>???
Mr. Inferno That's because the 'fakes' are made in the same factory as the 'real' goods.
This is about loss of revenue not low quality goods.
If it works and its cheaper, I'm buying it . This is about protectionism, especially when it comes to medications.
At 10 minutes Ruth Dray made the same mistake as a lot of women, assuming that a partnership is the equivalent to being married. Only marriage confers legal rights.
Surely the companies doing this on a bigger scale receive lower overheads per item than a guy in his garage. If they're charging £10-£20 a plate and making thousands a week for a small man operation, why do the larger companies need to charge £50 odd?
I bought a motorcycle with a number plate made at the garage and the ink ran and it fell to bits in days of rain. I ordered one online for £8. It's well made, clean and has lasted 8 months, still looking new. And that site was taken down for not being legit. :-/
Numbrer plates should be pressed not printed as they are in many countries.
Funny how this was recommended after seeing a video about China.
that watermelon vid was drastic
Trading standards on a , fake number plate , bust. What an important job they all have, we are paying for these self righteous lot
I thought this was going to be a documentary on the Midlands
One aspects to keep in mind the program seems to ignore, is sometimes the items being sold are the real deal, and not fakes, but real stock stolen by the semitrailer load and sold over the Internet cheap.
If a woman can't afford to care for the child and depends on the ex husband that can. Why is the kid with the woman that can't afford the child?
irony: watching an episode of BBCs copyrighted Fake Britain, pirated on UA-cam.
how much for the alloys?
england lost its relevancy a few years ago now,going down faster than the titanic
Fake stuff is cheaper.
5:53 you're welcome
Once I got a fake mac battery because it didn't last long but this one barely even lasted
Pay tax spend money. The underlying principle in this show.
"Even down to taking his driving lessons"
wtf?? driving lessons are notoriously expensive, and most people don't pay for them until they really need a car.
Also, he's underpaid by 12k, she's 25k in debt. So she'd still be in 13k in debt.
And also he shouldn't have to pay all of the childcare costs, she should be paying half while he pays half.
And when she says "Brad can have the things he's missed out on", does she have any idea of managing money? She's 25k in debt, the first thing she should do with 12k is pay off her debt.
that last segment was all real merchandise.
It's good and safe if possible number plate makers can check the v5 before making the number plates..
Nice thinkpad mate.
Someone has cloned our number plate and the criminal lives just 3 streets away! We have reported it to the police but are they doing anything about it? Sweet FA.
My Honda Jazz 2004 has fake airbags and metal rods that could kill me in a flash
