$29.99 for a LM Surge? $29.99 for a Swisstool X? (Very very likely FAKE)
on: August 19, 2018, 04:24:24 PM
I found this website https://gerberonlinestore.com/ on an ad on eBay. They list the big-ticket items like the LM Surge, Vic Swisstool X, Swiischamp... for $29.99!  :o It looks really fishy, not just for the price but the website layout, and of course, the website name. If you read the review on the Surge page, you will find reviews of the Vic multi there.  ::)

If you let your greed take over your soul, dive in at your own risk  >:D I think it is likely a sham webiste.

I checked the URL registration and the address is from Guangdong China.  Shocking!  I'm sure they are selling the same fakes via that site as they do on ebay etc.

Changed the thread title, just in case some poor soul cannot look pass the dollar sign  :D Someone was probably fed up with fake eBay listings taken down so quickly and decided to go all in on this. I got some amusement just by reading the How to Order section (https://gerberonlinestore.com/6-c-how-to-order.html) and Term and Condition section (https://gerberonlinestore.com/10-c-Terms-Conditions.html). So, do I have 14, or 60, or 365 days to return?  :D

I'd bet these are the same people, https://leathermanonlineshop.com/
It looks too good to be true so it probably is.  If anybody here does try to place an order please let us know how it went.

By linking to these dodgy sites members are alerted to likely fake tools then  :tu:.  Also this may be a way to prevent members from thinking these are legit deals and wasting their time and energy in the hopes of getting great tools are even greater prices.   Temptation reduction :like:
