B2-sportinggroup on eBay is selling counterfeit iomic grips.

[ThunderBuzzworth]

Reported them to iomic and i think they got shut down

Not sure why people with less than 300 posts are having their contributions deleted?? I mean, I'd like to know who to look out for, regardless of the post count of the individual who finds the fraud. IMO.

I just wanted to mention that golftech.com is offering practically everything for $50 less than you can find it anywhere else. In the about us it says they are an authorized retailer for Bushnell and Leupold, yet a quick look on both companies webpages shows that this is either A.) not updated or B(likely the truth). that golftech.com is not a legitimate company.

If you search hard enough on eBay you can find a great piece of equipment for a great price, but do your research, there are a bunch of face clubs out there

Just to follow up on this, I contacted golftech.com via e-mail the same day I wrote this. They never responded! So I'd say it's a safe call to avoid www.golftech.com

I just came across this one- china all round!

Have not seen this site listed, golfonsaleprice.com is another one!! really bad grammer in all written explainations. They say that they are from Chicago and use the US postal service but no way it is real!!

[Golf on Ice]

I bought "Cheap Ping G20 irons" here: [url="http://www.dotgif.co.uk"]http://www.dotgif.co.uk[/url], and they turned out to be Chinese counterfeits. Right now I'm fighting to get my money back, but it's not easy. The website has moved twice since that, first here: [url="http://www.imagomundi.co.uk"]http://www.imagomundi.co.uk[/url] and then here: [url="http://www.doyledevere.co.uk"]http://www.doyledevere.co.uk[/url]/ . I am not saying, that these sell replicas too, but the construction of the pages, FAQ-sections, prices etc. are very much alike:
www.golfclubsunited.co.uk www.sasbah.co.uk www.golfprovider.co.uk
www.eaglegolf.co.uk www.neoplanet.co.uk www.grahamward.co.uk
So beware, friends.

a newbie golfer's nightmare, i got some old Callaways from my brother in law, for now they do the trick till i get into the game a little i might upgrade in some time. but thank you all for posting all those "genuine" web offers which could lead into a trap and sell us cr*p

[leet74]

this is an EASY one


the 3 China WHolesale Main webistes that 99% of ALL fake golf gear that's for sale on ebay are...


alibaba.com / aliexpress
diytrade
dhgate.



everything fake is coming from these sites

even adams fakes are available now since the TM buy out

be very careful with the 2014 Adams range

FAKE XTD Ti Fairway heads and Hybrid heads are on ebay uk and usa right now (ive already give details of these sellers to TM uk and they advised they are passing it to their Legal Departments)

these are coming from the sites mentioned above were fakes are for sale for as little as $50 a head!!

[pochen23]

Has anyone dealt with golfclubs4cash ebay seller/website? I recently bought a used shaft from them but wondering if it is real or fake. Anyone know if PGA Super Store can identify real or fake?

Thank you.

[DavidO]

Is there a list of counterfeit sites available so we don't have to page through the entire forum to check out a site?

Does anyone know if golfbuy. com is legit?

Thanks

Chinese counterfeits can now be found here, if anyone's interested: http://www.ginto.co.uk/

[whatswrong11]

I may have discovered a counterfeit site http://www.alderwoodresort.com Ping G25 irons 3-9ps for $399. Anyone have any experience with them?

[dannos]

Too good to be true. http://www.golffactoryonline.com/weekly-specials-c-106.html

OEM manufacturer for Scotty putters in China? Hmm

[JRock822]

I have personally ordered from DHGATE when I first started golfing about 6 years ago and I got fake counterfeit clubs. I could tell because they smelled like sprey paint and were very noisey when hit. By that i mean they sounded like they could snap on any swing. The seller claimed to be real but there is 0 doubt in my mind. The headcovers were made super cheaply with stitches hanging out everywhere. I would never buy from them again.

Not sure if anyone said this yet but INTHEHOLEGOLF.com is one big fake website. They don't actually have stuff in stock. They advertise new and used clubs, everything in stock. But what I found out was they drop ship everything and they buy open boxed and demo stuff from around the world (sold to you as "New"). It could take a month or two to get your product. The wont give tracking numbers because they have NO IDEA where they are buying your club from.

I ordered a Covert Tour Driver from them new, after a week and nothing shipped yet I called and complained, they said its on order directly from Nike, so I called Nike, Nike had no idea who they were, never even heard of the website and had no Covert Tour on order for anyone at that time. SO I called back to INTHEHOLEGOLF and started causing a scene, they hung up on me and 5 minutes later they refunded my money on my credit card. After doing some research I found hundreds of people that have said the same thing as me all over the internet...

Don't know if I'm correct but I believe Ping had a similar list at some time.

I recently ordered a pure ball striker from them and received it in the mail in less than a week. I didn't order any clubs from them like you did, but I had no problem with my order. The only thing I noticed is that the one I ordered from intheholegolf.com did not have the PBS logo on it like you would see on Google images. It looks legitimate, and I sent an email to Jeff Evans to verity as well. Hopefully everything is fine and they just stopped putting the logo on the training aid.

I wished I saw this before I placed an order for a sun mountain tour clubglider. They were a reseller on amazon so I thought it was ok. I placed an order and they sent me an email that day that it was on back order until October and that they have cancelled my order. After a day the credit card transaction processed even though they supposedly cancelled my order. This is shady as well since most companies do not actually process the transaction until the item is shipped. Called them that day and they told me that they had processed because I didn't "cancel" when the email they sent me specifically stated "cancelled." I took them over 4 days and 3 phone calls to finally process my refund. Stay away from them.

On a side note. I placed an order with golf galaxy and they shipped me the wrong item. Called customer service the next morning and they next day aired me the right product before I even had a chance to ship them back the wrong item. That's how customer service should be done.
